36Seats, restraintsFront seatsSeat position9 Warning
Only drive with the seat correctly
adjusted.
9 Danger
Do not sit nearer than 25 cm from
the steering wheel, to permit safe
airbag deployment.
9 Warning
Never adjust seats while driving as
they could move uncontrollably.
● Sit with buttocks as far back against the backrest as possible.
Adjust the distance between the
seat and the pedals so that legs
are slightly angled when fully
pressing the pedals. Slide the
front passenger seat as far back
as possible.
● Set seat height high enough to have a clear field of vision on all
sides and of all display
instruments. There should be at
least one hand of clearance
between head and the roof
frame. Your thighs should rest
lightly on the seat without
pressing into it.
● Sit with shoulders as far back against the backrest as possible.
Set the backrest rake so that it is possible to easily reach the
steering wheel with arms slightly
bent. Maintain contact between
shoulders and the backrest when
turning the steering wheel. Do
not angle the backrest too far
back. We recommend a
maximum rake of approx. 25°.

a way that the wrist rests on top
of the steering wheel while the
arm is fully extended and
shoulders on the backrest.

● Adjust the height of the seat belt 3 45.
● Adjust the thigh support so that there is a space approx. two
fingers wide between the edge of the seat and the hollow of the
knee.
● Adjust the lumbar support so that
it supports the natural shape of the spine.

52Seats, restraints
The inflated airbags cushion the
impact, thereby reducing the risk of
injury to the upper body and pelvis in
the event of a side-on collision
considerably.
9 Warning
Keep the area in which the airbag
inflates clear of obstructions.
Notice
Only use protective seat covers that
have been approved for the vehicle.Be careful not to cover the airbags.
Curtain airbag system
The curtain airbag system consists of an airbag in the roof frame on each
side. This can be identified by the
word AIRBAG on the roof pillars.
The curtain airbag system is triggered
in the event of a side-on impact of a
certain severity. The ignition must be
switched on.
The inflated airbags cushion the
impact, thereby reducing the risk of
injury to the head in the event of a
side-on impact considerably.
9 Warning
Keep the area in which the airbag
inflates clear of obstructions.
The hooks in the roof frame are
only suitable for hanging up light
articles of clothing, without coat
hangers. Do not keep any items in these clothes.
Airbag deactivation
The front passenger airbag system
must be deactivated if a child restraint
system is to be fitted on this seat. The side airbag and curtain airbag
systems, the belt pretensioners and
all driver airbag systems will remain
active.

Storage69
Align the bicycle in the longitudinal
direction of the vehicle: Slightly
loosen the pedal mount.
Place the bicycle upright using the
rotary lever on the pedal crank
recess.
If the two bicycles obstruct one
another, the relative positions of the
bicycles can be adapted by adjusting
the wheel recesses and the rotary
lever on the pedal crank recess until
the bicycles no longer touch one
another. Make sure there is sufficient
clearance from the vehicle.Tighten the attachment screw for the
pedal bearing mount to its maximum
point by hand.
Secure both bicycle wheels to wheel
recesses using strap retainers.

secure.
Caution
Ensure gap between bicycle and
vehicle is at least 5 cm. If
necessary, loosen handlebar and swivel sideways.
The settings for the wheel recesses
and on the rotary lever on the pedal
crank recess should be noted and saved for each bicycle. Correct
presetting will facilitate refitting of the
bicycle.
