NOTICE
Please be careful when parking your vehicle in areas with
parking barriers or curbs. These vary in height and could dam-
age your bumper and related parts if the front of your vehicle
hits a barrier or curb that is too high while you are getting into or
out of a parking spot.
Always be careful when you enter a driveway or drive up or
down steep ramps or over curbs or other obstacles. Parts of the
vehicle close to the ground may be damaged (such as bumper
covers, spoilers, and parts of the engine, suspension, and ex-
haust systems).

2 Slight differences to these figures are possible, depending on wheel and tire size fitted and the level selected.

WARNING
Improper seating positions increase the risk of severe or fatal
injuries in a crash or other accidents, especially when the air-
bag deploys.
All occupants must sit properly and be properly restrained at
all times.
Never let more people ride in the vehicle than there are seat-
ing positions with safety belts available.
Always secure children in the vehicle with an approved and
suitable restraint system appropriate for their age, weight, and
height
Always keep your feet on the floor in front of the seat. Never
rest them on the seat, instrument panel, out of the window, etc.
The airbag system and safety belt will not be able to protect
you properly and can even increase the risk of injury in a crash.

Always sit upright with your back against the backrest with
the front seats properly adjusted. Never lean against or place
any part of your body too close to the area where the airbags
are located.
Rear seat passengers who are not properly seated and re-
strained are more likely to be seriously injured in a crash.
WARNING
Improper adjustment of the seats can cause accidents and se-
vere injuries.
Never adjust the seats while the vehicle is moving. Your seat
may move unexpectedly and you could lose control of the vehi-
cle. In addition, you will not be in the correct seating position
while adjusting the seats.
Adjust the front seat height, angle and longitudinal direction
only if the seat adjustment area is clear.
The adjustment of the front seats must not be restricted by
things in the footwell in front or behind the seats.
WARNING
Some kinds of cigarette lighters can be lit unintentionally, or
crushed causing a fire that can result in serious burns and ve-
hicle damage.
Always make sure that there are no lighters in the seat tracks
or near other moving parts before adjusting the seats.
Before closing a storage compartment, always make sure
that no cigarette lighter can be activated, crushed, or otherwise
damaged.
Never leave a cigarette lighter in a storage compartment, on
the instrument panel, or in other places in the vehicle. Heat
buildup in the passenger and luggage compartment of a parked
vehicle can result in temperatures in the vehicle that are much
higher than the outside temperatures, particularly in summer.
High temperatures could cause the cigarette lighter to catch
fire.

Never hold the steering wheel at the 12 o'clock position or with your
hands at other places inside the steering wheel rim or on the steering
wheel hub. Holding the steering wheel the wrong way can cause seri-
ous injuries to the hands, arms, and head if the driver's airbag in-
flates.
Adjust the steering wheel so that the steering wheel cover points at
your chest and not at your face. Pointing the steering wheel toward
your face decreases the ability of the driver's airbag to help protect
you in a collision.
Adjust the driver's seat so that you can easily push the pedals all
the way to the floor while keeping your knee(s) slightly bent.
Adjust the seat height so that the top point of the steering wheel
can be reached.
Always keep both feet in the footwell so that you are in control of
the vehicle at all times.
Passenger - front seat adjustment:
Push the passenger seat as far back as possible in order to ensure
optimum protection if the airbag is deployed.

WARNING
Not wearing a safety belt or wearing an improperly positioned
safety belt increases the risk of severe personal injury or death.
Safety belts offer optimum protection only when they are used
properly.
Properly worn safety belts are the single most effective
means of reducing the risk of serious injury and death in a col-
lision or other accident. For this reason, always wear your safe-
ty belt properly and make sure all passengers wear their safety
belts properly as well whenever the vehicle is moving.
The driver must always make sure that every person in the
vehicle is properly seated on a seat of his or her own, properly
fastens the safety belts belonging to that seat before the vehi-
cle starts to move, and keeps the belts properly fastened while
riding in the vehicle. This applies even when just driving
around town. Therefore, always wear your safety belts and
make sure that everybody in your vehicle is properly restrained.
Always secure children in the vehicle with a restraint system
appropriate for their age, weight and height ⇒  Child safety and
child restraints.
Always fasten safety belts correctly before driving off and
make sure that all passengers are properly restrained.
Never attach the safety belt to the buckle of another seat. At-
taching the safety belt to the wrong buckle will reduce safety
belt effectiveness and can cause serious personal injury.
Never let any objects or liquids get into the safety belt latch
and prevent it from working properly.
Never remove a safety belt while the vehicle is moving. Doing
so will increase your risk of being injured or killed.
Never strap more than one person, including small children,
into any single safety belt.
Never let children or babies ride sitting on your lap, and nev-
er place a safety belt over a child sitting on your lap.
Never wear belts over rigid or breakable objects in or on your
clothing, such as eyeglasses, pens, keys, etc., as these may
cause injury.
