The dangers of assuming an incorrect sitting position
.....-m First read and observe the Introductory L-.bU information and safety warnings & on page 61.
If the seat belts are not worn or are worn incorrect-ly, the risk of severe or fatal injuries increases. Seat belts can only provide optimal protection if the seat belt routing is correct. Assuming an incorrect sitting position considerably impairs the level of protection provided by a seat belt. This could lead to severe or even fatal injuries. The risk of severe or fatal injuries is especially increased when a de-ploying airbag strikes a vehicle occupant who has assumed an incorrect sitting position. The driver is responsible for all occupants transported in the ve-hicle, especially children.
The following list contains examples of sitting posi-tions that can be dangerous for all vehicle occu-pants.

• Never stand in the vehicle.
• Never stand on the seats.
• Never kneel on the seats.
• Never tilt the backrest too far to the rear.
