Assuming an incorrect sitting position in the vehicle can increase the risk of severe or fa-tal injuries during a sudden driving or brak-ing manoeuvre, in the event of a collision or accident, or if the airbags are triggered.
• All vehicle occupants must assume a cor-rect sitting position before setting off and maintain this position throughout the trip. This also applies to the fastening of seat belts.
• The number of vehicle occupants must never exceed the number of seats with seat belts in the vehicle.
• Always secure children in the vehicle in an authorised restraint system which Is suita-ble for their height and page 96, 87.
• Always keep your feet in the footweli while the vehicle is in motion. Never place your feet on the seat or dash panel, for example, and never ride with your feet out the window. When you are sat like this, the airbag and seat belt cannot provide optimal protection and could actually increase the risk of Injury during an accident.
A WARNING
Always adjust seats, seat belts and head re-straints to their correct position before any journey and ensure that ail passengers have fastened their seat belt.
• Push the front passenger seat as far back as possible.
• Adjust the driver seat so that there is at least 25 cm between your breastbone and the hub of the steering wheel. If your build makes it impossible to fulfil this requirement then you must contact a qualified workshop so they can make any necessary modifications.
• Never travel with the back rest tilted far back. The further back the backrest is tilted, the greater the risk of injury caused by incor-rect seat belt routing or an incorrect sitting position.
• Never travel with the back rest tilted far forwards. When a front airbag is triggered it could force the seat backrest backwards and injure vehicle occupants on the back seats.
• Adopt and maintain the greatest possible distance from the steering wheel and dash panel.
• You should always sit upright with your back against the seat back rest with the front seats properly adjusted. Do not position any body part too close where the airbags are fit-ted.
• The risk of serious injury Is increased for passengers on the rear seat if they are not sitting upright because the seat belts are in-correctly positioned.
A WARNING
Incorrect adjustment of the seats can cause accidents and serious injuries.
• The seats may only be adjusted when the vehicle is stationary, or else the seat could change position unexpectedly while the vehi-cle is in motion, leading to a loss of control of the vehicle. Furthermore, an incorrect seating position is adopted while adjusting the seat. .,.

A WARNING
Incorrectly fastened or unfastened seat belts increase the risk of severe or fatal injuries. Seat belts will only offer the optimum level of protection when they are fastened and used properly.
A WARNING (Continued)
• Seat belts are the most effective means of reducing the risk of serious and fatal injuries In the event of an accident. Seat belts must always be fastened properly when the vehicle Is In motion to protect the driver and all vehi-cle occupants.
• Before every trip, each vehicle occupant must adopt the correct sitting position, cor-rectly fasten the seat belt belonging to their seat and keep it fastened properly throughout the trip. This applies to all vehicle occupants and also In urban traffic.
• While the vehicle is in motion, secure all children travelling In the vehicle in a restraint system suitable for their weight and height. They must also wear correctly fastened seat belts =>page 96.
• Only start driving when all passengers have correctly fastened their seat belts.
• Only ever insert the latch plate into the buckle of the associated seat, and always en-sure that it engages properly. Using a buckle that does not belong to the seat that you are occupying reduces the level of protection and can lead to severe injuries.
• Avoid allowing foreign bodies or liquids to enter the slot for the seat belt buckle. This could prevent the belt buckle and seat belt from working properly.
• Never unfasten the seat belt while the ve-hicle is in motion.
• Never allow more than one person to share the same seat belt.
• Never travel when children or babies are being carried on somebody's lap and fas-tened with the same belt.
• Never travel wearing loose, bulky clothing (such as an overcoat over a jacket). This could prevent the seat belts from fitting and functioning properly.
A WARNING
Damaged seat belts are very dangerous and can cause severe or fatal Injuries.
• Never damage the belt by trapping it in the door or in the seat mechanism. 11>
