create the largest possible distance be-
tween the child seat and the front pas-
senger front airbag.
x Move the backrest to the upright posi-
tion.

belt routing follows a natural path adap-
ted to the child seat without excessive
deviations. For rear-facing child seats,
use the lowest position of the belt
height adjuster.

proved by the child seat manufacturer

WARNING
Incorrect adjustment of the seats can cause
accidents and serious injuries.
x Only adjust the seats when the v
ehicle is
stationary. The seats could change posi-
tion unexpectedly if you attempt to re-
position them while the vehicle is in mo-
tion, leading to a loss of control of the
vehicle. Furthermore, an incorrect sitting
position is adopted while adjusting the
seat.
x Only adjust the height and tilt of the
seat or move it forwards and backwards
when the area around the seat is clear.
x The adjustment range of the seats must
not be restricted by any items.
x Only adjust the angle of the rear seats or
move the seats forwards and backwards
when there is no-one in the adjustment
range of the seats.
x The areas for adjusting and locking the
seats must not be soiled. WARNING
Improper use of seat covers or protective
co
vers may lead to the electrical seat con-
trols being operated accidentally and the
front seats moving unexpectedly while the
vehicle is moving. You could lose control
over the vehicle. This could result in serious
injury and accidents. Furthermore, this may
result in damage to the electrical compo-
nents in the front seats.
x Never attach or secure seat covers or
protective covers to the electrical con-
trols.
x Do not fit seat covers or protective cov-
ers over the seats unless they have been
expressly approved for use in the vehi-
cle. WARNING
Any lighters in the vehicle could be dam-
aged or accidentally lit. This could lead to
serious burns and other injuries.

ore adjusting the seats, always en-
sure that there is no lighter on or near
the movable parts of the seat. NOTICE
Sharp edges can damage the seats.
x Do not touch the seats with sharp-edged
objects. Sharp objects, such as zips, riv
