A WARNING
A passenger who is not sitting in the correct
position or who is not wearing a seat belt can
be fatally injured if the airbag is triggered.
- Adjust the front passenger's seat so there is
a distance of at least 25 cm between your
breastbone and the dash panel.
- Always keep your feet on the floor when the
vehicle is moving; never rest them on the in­
strument panel, out of the window or on the
seat. If
you
sit in an incorrect position, you
increase your risk of injury in the event of
sudden braking or an accident. If the airbag
is triggered, you could sustain potentially
fatal injuries by sitting out of position.
- To reduce the risk of injury to the front pas­
senger in the case of sudden braking or an
accident, the passenger should never travel
in a moving vehicle with the backrest re­

clined.
The airbag system and seat belt can
only provide proper protection when the
backrest is in an upright position and the
passenger is wearing the seat belt in the
correct position. The further the backrest is
tilted back, the greater the risk of injury due
to incorrect positioning of the belt webbing

or
an incorrect sitting position.
- Always adjust the head restraints properly
for maximum protection.
Correct position for rear passengers
Rear seat passengers should sit upright with
both feet on the floor and wear their seat belts
properly whenever the vehicle is moving.
To reduce any risk of injury in the event of sudden
braking or an accident, passengers in the rear
seats must observe the following:

•
Before carrying passengers on the rear seats,

puLl
the head restraints on the occupied seats
all the way up
^>page
59.
• Keep both feet in the footwell in front of the
rear seat.

•
Fasten your seat belt correctly
^page
278.

•
Use appropriate child restraint systems for
chil­

dren travelling in the vehicle
^>page
267.

/K
WARNING
Rear passengers sitting out of position can
suffer severe injuries.
- Always adjust the head restraints to the
fully raised position for maximum protec­

tion.

- Seat belts only offer maximum protection
when the backrest is in an upright position
and the passengers are wearing the seat
belts properly. By not sitting upright, rear
passengers increase the risk of injury due to
incorrect positioning of the seat belt web­

bing.

Correct adjustment of head restraints
Properly adjusted head restraints are an
impor­

tant part of the vehicle's occupant protection
system.
They
can help to reduce the risk of inju­
ries in most accident situations.

A WARNING
Any obstructions that restrict pedal travel can
cause loss of vehicLe control and lead to
criti­

cal traffic situations.
- Never place objects in the driver's footwell.
Such objects could move under the pedals
and interfere with their proper function. In
the event of sudden braking or
a
change of

direction,
you would not be able to use the

obstructed and are firmly secured to prevent
them from slipping. You can obtain suitable floor
mats from your dealer or a specialist retailer.

cause Loss of vehicle control and increase the
risk of serious personal injury.
- Always make sure that floor mats are prop­
erly secured.

instaLl
additional floor mats or
other floor coverings over the existing floor
