2018 MERCEDES-BENZ SL ROADSTER height adjustment

GWARNING
When you adjust a seat, you or other vehicle
occupants could become trapped, e.g. on the seat guide rail. There is a risk of injury.
Make sure when adjusting a seat that no one
has any body parts in the sweep of the seat.
GWARNING
If the driver's seat is not engaged, it could
move forwards as far as the next catch during movement such as braking or abrupt changes
of direction. As a result, you would be pushed
against your seat belt by the unsecured driv-
er's seat.
This could cause you to lose control of the
vehicle. The seat belt cannot protect as inten-
ded and could result in additional injury.
There is a risk of an accident and injury.
Before every journey, make sure that the driv-
er's seat is fully engaged.
Observe the safety notes on "Air bags"
(
Ypage 45) and "Children in the vehicle"
(Ypage 56).
GWARNING
If you adjust the seat height carelessly, you or
other vehicle occupants could be trapped and
thereby injured. Children in particular could
accidentally press the electrical seat adjust-
ment buttons and become trapped. There is a
risk of injury.
While moving the seats, make sure that your
hands or other body parts do not get under the
lever assembly of the seat adjustment sys-
tem.
GWARNING
If the head restraints are not installed or not
adjusted correctly, they cannot provide pro-
tection as intended. There is an increased risk
of injury in the head and neck area, e.g. in the event of an accident or when braking.
Always drive with the head restraints instal-
led. Before driving off, make sure for every
vehicle occupant that the center of the head
restraint supports the back of the head at
about eye level.
GWARNING
You could lose control of your vehicle if you do the following while driving:
Radjust the driver's seat, head restraint,
steering wheel or mirrors
Rfasten the seat belt
There is a risk of an accident.
Adjust the driver's seat, head restraint, steer-
ing wheel and mirror and fasten your seat belt before starting the engine.
!To prevent damage to the seats and the seat
heating, observe the following notes:
RDo not spill liquids onto the seats. Dry the
seats as soon as possible if liquid does get
spilled on the seats.
RIf the seat covers are damp or wet, do not
switch on the seat heating. Also, do not use
the seat heating to dry the seats.
RClean the seat covers as recommended;
see the "Interior care" section.
RDo not transport heavy loads on the seats.
Do not place pointed objects on the seat
cushions such as knives, nails or tools.
Where possible, use the seats only for car-
rying passengers.
RWhen operating the seat heating, do not
cover the seats with insulating materials,
e.g. blankets, coats, bags, protective cov-
ers, child seats or booster seats.
RWhen the seat heating is switched on, the
seat surface can be damaged as a result of
objects being placed on the seats; for
example, seat cushions, child seats and
protective covers not approved by
Mercedes-Benz.
!Make sure that there are no objects in the
footwell under or behind the seats when mov-
ing the seats back. There is a risk that the
seats and/or the objects could be damaged.
iThe head restraints cannot be removed.
For more information, contact a qualified spe-
cialist workshop.
