-Before driving, always adjus t the front pas
senger seat properly.
- Always keep your feet on the floor in front
of the seat. Never rest them on the seat, in
strument panel, out of the window, etc. The
airbag system and safety belt will not be
able to protect you properly and can even in
crease the risk of injury in a crash .
- Never drive with the backrest reclined or
t ilted fa r back! The farther the backrests are
t il ted back, the greater the risk of in ju ry due
to incorrect positioning of the safety belt
and improper se ating position.
- Children must a lways ride in child seats
¢ page 221. Special precautions apply
when insta lling a child seat on the front
passenge r seat
¢ page 19 7.
Proper seating positions for passengers in
rear seats
Rear seat passengers must sit upright wi th both
feet on the floor consistent with their physical
size and be properly restrained whenever the ve
hicle is in use.
To reduce the risk o f injury caused by an incorrect
seating position in the event of a sudden braking
maneuver or an accident, yo ur passengers on the
rear bench seat must a lways observe the follow
ing:
• Make s ure that the seatback is sec urely latched
in the upright pos ition
¢ page 49.
• Keep both feet flat in the footwell in front of
the rear seat.
• Fasten and wear safety be lts properly
¢ page 193 .
• Make su re that children are always properly re
st rained in a ch ild res traint that is approp riate
for their size and age
¢ page 221 .
A WARNING
Passengers who are improperly seated on the
rear seat can be seriously injured in a crash .
- Each passenger m ust always sit on a seat of
their own and properly fasten and wear the
safety belt belonging to that seat .
Safe driv ing
- Safety belts only offer maxim um protection
when the seatback is securely latched in the
upright pos ition and the safety belts are
properly posit ioned on the body . By not sit
ting upright, a rear seat passenger increases
the risk of personal injury from improperly
positioned safety belts!
Examples of improper seating positions
The occupant restraint system can only reduce
the risk of injury if vehicle occupants are properly
seated .
Improper seat ing positions can cause ser ious in
jury or death . Safety belts ca n only work when
they a re properly positioned on the body. Im
prope r seat ing positions red uce the effectiveness
of safety be lts an d will even inc rease the risk of
injury and deat h by moving the safety belt to cr it
ical areas of the body. Improper seating posi tions
also increase the risk of se rious i njury and death
when an airbag dep loys and strikes an occ upant
who is not in the proper seating posit ion. A dr iver
is responsible for the safety of all veh icle occu
pants and espec ially for children . Therefore :
• Never allow anyone to assume an incorrect
seating position when the vehicle is being used
¢ .&_ .
The following bulletins list on ly some samp le po
s itions that will increase the r isk of serious injury
and death . Our hope is that these examples will
make yo u more aware of seating positions that
are dangerous .
Therefore, whenever the vehicle is mov ing :
-neve r stand up in the vehicle
- never stand on the seats
- neve r kneel on the seats
- neve r ride wit h the sea tback recl ined
- neve r lie down on the rear seat
- never lean up against the instrument panel
- never s it on the edge of the seat
- neve r sit sideways
- never lean out the window
- neve r put your feet o ut the wi ndow
- neve r put your feet on t he i nstr ument pane l
183
Safe dri ving
- never rest your feet on the seat cushion or back
of the seat
- never ride in the footwell
- never ride in the cargo area
_& WARNING
Improper seating posit ions increase the r isk
of serious personal injury and death whenever
a vehicle is being used .
- Always make sure that all vehicle occupants
stay in a proper seating position and are
properly restrained whenever the vehicle is
being used.
Driver and passenger
side footwell
Important safety instructions
_& WARNING
Always make sure that the knee airbag can in
flate without interference . Objects between
yourself and the airbag can increase the risk
of injury in an acc ident by interfering with the
way the airbag deploys or by being pushed in
to you as the airbag deploys.
- No persons (children) or animals shou ld ride
in the footwell in front of the passenger
seat .
If the airbag dep loys, this can result in
serious or fatal injuries.
- No objects of any kind should be carried in
the footwell area in front of the driver's or
passenger 's seat. Bulky objects (shopping
bags, for example) can hamper or prevent
proper deployment of the airbag. Small ob
jects can be thrown through the vehicle if
the airbag deploys and injure you or your passengers .

' Pedals
The pedals must always be free to move and
must never be interfered with by a floor mat or
any other object.
Make sure that all pedals move freely withou t in
terference and that nothing prevents them from
returning to their orig inal positions .
Only use floor mats that leave the pedal area free
and can be secured with floor mat fasteners .
If a brake circuit fails, increased brake pedal trav
el is required to bring the vehicle to a full stop.
_& WARNING
Pedals that cannot move freely can cause loss
of vehicle control and increase the risk of seri
ous injury.
- Never place any objects in the driver's foot
well. An object could get into the pedal area
and interfere with pedal function . In case of
sudden braking or an acc ident, you would
not be able to b rake or acce lerate!
-Always make sure that nothing can fall or
move into the driver's footwell.
Floor mats on the driver side
Always use floor mats that can be securely at tached to the floor mat fasteners and do not in
terfere with the free movement of the pedals.
.. Make sure that the floor mats are properly se
cured and cannot move and interfere with the
pedals
~ .,&.. .
Use only floor mats that leave the pedal area un
obstructed and that are firmly secured so that
they cannot slip out of position . You can obta in

c>page 180.
A WARNING
To help prevent poisonous exhaust gas from
being drawn into the vehicle, always keep the
rear lid closed whi le driving.
- Never transport objects larger than those
fitting completely into the luggage area be cause the rear lid cannot be fully closed .
- If you absolutely must drive with the rear lid
open, observe the following notes to reduce
the risk of poisoning:
- Close al l w indows,
- Open all air outlets in the instrument pan-

- Switch off the air recirculation,
- Set the fresh air fan to the highest speed.
A WARNING
Always make sure that the doors, all windows

not be ing used.
- After closing the rear lid, always make su re
that it is properly closed and locked.

Tie-downs
The luggage compartment is equipped with four
tie -downs to secure luggage and other items.
Fig. 149 Luggage compartment : location of the tie- downs
Use the tie-downs to secure your cargo properly
c> page 185, Loading the luggage compartment.
In a co llision , the laws of physics mean that even
smaller items that are loose in the vehicle will
become heavy missiles that can cause serious in
jury . Items in the vehicle possess energy which
vary with vehicle speed and the weight of the i tem . Vehicle speed is the most significant factor.
For example, in a frontal collision at a speed of
30 mph (48 km/h), the forces acting on a 10 lbs
(4 .5 kg) object are about
20 times the normal
weight of the item. This means that the weight
of the item would sudden ly be about
200 lbs (90 kg) . You can imag ine the injuries that
a
200 lbs (90 kg) item flying freely through the
passenger compartment could cause in a colli
sion like th is .
