Adjust the steering wheel position before setting
off
and only when the vehicle is sta tionary.
• Push down the lever =>Fig . 50 G).
• Adjust the steering wheel so that you can hold
it on the outside
of the ring (at the 9 o'cl ock and 3
o'clock positions) with both hands and slightly bent
arms.
• Push the lever up firmly until it lines up with the

Incorrect use of the steering column position
adjustment and incorrect adjustment of the
steering wheel can cause serious or fatal in
juries.
• After adjusting the steering column, al
ways move lever CD up so that it engages se
curely. 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, stop the vehicle
safely and adjust the steering wheel to the
correct position.
• The steering wheel must always point to
wards the chest and not towards the face.
This ensures that the driver front airbag pro
vides 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 positions. This reduces
the risk of injury if the driver front airbag is
triggered.
• Never hold the steering wheel at the
12 o'clock position, or in any other manner,
e.g .
on the hub of the steering wheel. If the
driver front airbag is triggered, you could re
ceive severe injuries to the arms, hands and
head. ~--------------------------____ _j
