Important safety notes G
WARNING
You could lose control of the vehicle while
driving if you:
R adjust the driver's seat, steering wheel or
mirrors
R fasten the seat belt
There is a risk of an accident.
Adjust the driver's seat, head restraint, steer-
ing wheel and mirrors and fasten your seat
belt before starting the engine. G
WARNING
The head restraints cannot provide the inten-
ded protection unless they are fitted and
adjusted correctly. There is an increased risk of injury to the head and neck in the event of
an accident or sudden braking, for example.
Always drive with the head restraints fitted.
Ensure that the centre of the head restraints
support the back of each vehicle occupant's
head at eye level before driving off.
Do not interchange the head restraints of the
front and rear seats. Otherwise, you will not be
able to adjust the height and angle of the head
restraints to the correct position.
Adjust the head restraint fore-and-aft position
so that it is as close as possible to the back of
your head.
Observe the important safety guidelines for
seats (Y page 99).

Folding the front-seat backrests
forward/back
Important safety notes G
WARNING
If the backrest is not engaged, it could fold
forwards during a braking manoeuvre or in the event of an accident, for example. The seat
backrest will then push the vehicle occupant
against the seat belt. The seat belt cannot
protect as intended and could result in addi-
tional injury. This poses an increased risk of
injury.
Before each journey, make sure that the back- rest engages fully as described. G
WARNING
You could lose control of the vehicle while
driving if you:
R adjust the driver's seat, steering wheel or
mirror
R fasten the seat belt.
There is a risk of an accident.
Adjust the driver's seat, steering wheel or
mirror and fasten the seat belt before starting
the engine. G
WARNING
When adjusting a seat, you or another vehicle occupant could become trapped by the guiderail of the seat, for instance. There is a risk of
injury.
Make sure that no one has any part of their
body within the sweep of the seat when
adjusting it. Folding the seat backrest forwards With the EASY-ENTRY system, the seat moves
forwards if you have folded the backrest for-
wards and the seat is in the rear half of the
adjustment range. This makes it easier for pas-
sengers to get into and out of the rear compart-
ment.
The head restraint also lowers on vehicles with
electric seat adjustment.
X Vehicles without memory function:
release the head restraint if necessary and
push it down.
X Pull seat release handle :forwards and fold
the backrest forwards until the seat backrest
engages.
X Push the seat as far forwards as it will go.
X Vehicles with memory function: pull seat
release handle :forwards and fold the back-
rest forwards as far as it will go.
The seat moves automatically to the foremost
position.
Folding back the seat backrest X
Vehicles without memory function: push
the seat backrest back horizontally until the
seat reaches the position that was previously
set.
X Fold the seat backrest backwards until you
hear it engage. Do so in a smooth manner.
X After the seat backrest has been folded back,
check the position of the head restraint and
set it to the correct position.
X Vehicles with memory function: swing
back the seat backrest.
The seat moves automatically to the stored
position. Seats
