safety of your passengers.
A WARNING
- The information in this chapter is important

ger. The other chapters in this manual (and,
where applicable, in the other literature
supplied with the vehicle) contain further
important notes which you should read and
observe for your own safety and that of your

Safety features
The safety features Listed here are part of the ve
hicle's occupant restraint system. They work to
gether to help reduce the risk of injury in a wide
variety of accident situations.
Your safety and the safety of your passengers
should not be left to chance. In the event of an
accident, the safety features incorporated in your

220 These
individual safety features are harmonised
to provide you and your passenger with the best
possible protection in accident situations. How
ever, they can only be effective if you and your
passenger sit in the correct position and adjust
and use the safety equipment properly.
For these reasons, this chapter explains why
these safety features are so important, how they
can protect you, what you need to remember
when using them, and how you and your passen
gers can gain the most benefit from them. There
are also a number of important safety warnings
which you and your passengers should always ob
serve in order to minimise the risk of injury.
Safety is everyone's responsibility!
Before every trip
The driver is responsible for the safety of the
passengers and the safe operation of the vehicle
at all times.
For your own safety and the safety of your pas
senger, always note the following points before

CX) What
factors can impair your safety?
Safety on the road is directly related to how you
drive, and can also be affected by the passengers
in the vehicle.
The driver is responsible for the safety of the ve
hicle and all its occupants. If your ability to drive
is impaired in any way, you endanger yourself and
other road users ¢ ,A. Therefore:
""Do not let yourself be distracted by passengers
or by using a mobile phone, etc.
"" Never drive when your driving ability is im
paired (by medication, alcohol, drugs, etc.).
"" Obey all traffic regulations and speed limits
and always maintain a safe distance to the vehi
cle in front.
"" Always adjust your speed to suit the road, traf
fic and weather conditions.
"" Take frequent breaks on long trips. Do not drive
for more than two hours without a stop.
""If possible, avoid driving when you are tired or
stressed.
A WARNING
- Distractions while driving or any kind of im
pairment to your driving ability increase the
risk of accident and injury.
- Do not place loose objects on the dash pan
el. These objects could fly around the interi
or when the vehicle is moving (under accel
eration or whilst cornering) and distract the
driver -risk of accident! Safe
driving
Correct sitting positions
Correct driving position
The correct driving position is important for safe
driving.
Fig. 182 Adjust seat and sit in correct position 0
0
For your own safety, and to reduce the risk of in
jury in the event of an accident, we recommend
the following driving position.
"" Adjust the driver's seat and steering wheel so
there is a distance of at least 25 cm between
your breastbone and the centre of the steering
wheel¢ Fig. 182.
"" Adjust the height and fore/aft position of the
driver's seat so that you are able to press the
pedals to the floor without fully straightening
your legs¢ A.
"" Adjust the backrest to an upright position so
that your back remains in contact with the up
holstery.
""Adjust the longitudinal position of the steering
wheel so that your arms are slightly bent and
you can read the dials and instruments easily.
"" Make sure that you can comfortably reach the
top of the steering wheel.
"" Fasten your seat belt correctly ¢ page 230.
"" Keep both feet in the footwell so that you are in
full control of the vehicle at all times.
For detailed information on how to adjust the
driver's seat, see¢ page 54, Front seats.
A WARNING
A driver who is not sitting in the correct posi
tion or who is not wearing a seat belt can be
fatally injured if the airbag is triggered.
