acceleration level and the direction of the acting force (in the opposite direction according to
physical laws). If you drive to the left, for example, the red marking will move in the right area of the
instrument (and vice versa). If you accelerate, the red marking will move down. If you brake, the red
marking will move up. The level of acceleration is indicated by the position of the red marking which

distract you from the road.
Always drive carefully and responsibly.
NOTICE
When starting from cold, avoid high engine speeds, driving at full throttle and over-loading the
engine.
Due to the principle of performance determination used in the vehicle, the physical accuracy of the
displayed values is not guaranteed.

anywhere in the airbag deployment zone.
No other people, animals or objects may be carried between the occupants of the front seats and
the airbag deployment zone. Make sure that children and passengers also keep to this rule.
Do not attach any objects, e.g. mobile navigation devices, to the windscreen above the front airbag
on the front passenger side.
Do not cover or stick anything on the steering wheel hub or the soft plastic surface of the airbag unit
on the front passenger side, and do not obstruct or modify them in any way.
WARNING
The front airbags are deployed in front of the steering wheel Fig. 40and dash panelFig. 41
When driving, always hold the steering wheel with both hands on the outside of the rim at the 9
o'clock and 3 o'clock positions.
Adjust the driver seat so that there is at least 25 cm between your breastbone and the hub of the
steering wheel. Contact a qualified workshop if your physical build makes this impracticable.
Adjust the front passenger seat so that the distance between the front passenger and the dash panel
is as large as possible.

Push the lever up firmly until it is flush with the steering column trim
WARNING
Incorrect use of the steering column position adjustment and incorrect adjustment of the steering
wheel can cause serious or fatal injuries.
After adjusting the steering column, always move lever Fig.
0up so that it engages securely.
This prevents the steering column from moving spontaneously while the vehicle is in motion.
Never adjust the steering wheel when the vehicle is in motion. If you determine that a readjustment
is necessary when driving, stop the vehicle safely and adjust the steering wheel to the correct
position.
The steering wheel must always point towards the chest and not towards the face. This ensures that
the driver front airbag provides maximum protection in the event of an accident.
While driving, always keep both hands on the outside of the steering wheel at the 9 o'clock and 3
o'clock positionsFig. 68
Never hold the steering wheel at the 12 o'clock position, or in any other manner, e.g. at the hub of
the steering wheel. If the driver front airbag is triggered, you could sustain serious injuries to the
arms, hands and head.
