could cause the seat to move unex-
pectedly. You could lose control of the 
vehicle. There is a danger of acci-
dents. Only adjust the seat on the 
driver's side when at a standstill.
WARNING
If the backrest is angled back too far, 
the protective effect of the seat belt 
will no longer be guaranteed. There is 
a danger of sliding under the seat belt 
in the event of an accident. There is a 
danger of injury or even death. Adjust 
the seat before starting the journey. 
Adjust the backrest to the most 
upright position possible, and do not 
change it during the journey.
WARNING
There is a risk of entrapment when 
the seats are being moved. There is a 
danger of injury or damage to prop-
erty. Before making any adjustment, 
make sure that the area of movement 
of the seat is clear.
