Seats
Hints Do not adjust the seat while driving
Do not adjust the driver's seat while driv‐
ing, or the seat could respond with unexpected
movement and the ensuing loss of vehicle
control could lead to an accident.◀
Do not incline the backrest too far to the
rear
Do not incline the backrest too far to the rear
while driving, or there is a risk of slipping under
the safety belt in the event of an accident. This
would eliminate the protection normally pro‐
vided by the belt.◀
Keep the movement area unobstructed
When changing the seat position, keep
the seat's area of movement unobstructed;
otherwise, people might get injured or objects
damaged.◀
Rear seating positions
The vehicle is designed as a 2+2-seater. The
utility of the rear seats is limited. In order to
keep the risk of an injury during a collision or
an accident as small as possible, the top edge
of the backrest should be at least just above
eye height.
