steering wheel adjustment VOLKSWAGEN CC 2015 Owner´s Manual

WARNING
Contact with parts of the vehicle interior can cause serious
personal injury in a crash.
Always make sure that all vehicle occupants stay in a proper
seating position and are properly restrained whenever the vehi-
cle is moving.
Improper seating positions increase the risk of serious and
fatal injury, especially when an airbag deploys and strikes a
passenger in an improper seating position.
Proper seating position

Fig. 43 The driver should never sit closer than 10 inches (25 cm) of
the steering wheel.

Fig. 44 Proper safety belt positioning and head restraint adjustment.

Never hold the steering wheel at the 12 o'clock position or with your
hands at other places inside the steering wheel rim or on the steering
wheel hub. Holding the steering wheel the wrong way can cause seri-
ous injuries to the hands, arms, and head if the driver's airbag in-
flates.
Adjust the steering wheel so that the steering wheel cover points at
your chest and not at your face. Pointing the steering wheel toward
your face decreases the ability of the driver's airbag to help protect
you in a collision.
Adjust the driver's seat so that you can easily push the pedals all
the way to the floor while keeping your knee(s) slightly bent.
Adjust the seat height so that the top point of the steering wheel
can be reached.
Always keep both feet in the footwell so that you are in control of
the vehicle at all times.
Passenger - front seat adjustment:
Push the passenger seat as far back as possible in order to ensure
optimum protection if the airbag is deployed.

WARNING
Improper use of the steering column adjustment feature can
result in serious personal injury and even death.
Always pull the lever (1) firmly upward after adjusting the
steering column so that the steering wheel does not change
position suddenly while the vehicle is moving.
Never adjust the steering column while the vehicle is moving.
If you find that you need to adjust the steering wheel while driv-
ing, stop the vehicle in a safe place and make the proper ad-
justment.
Never adjust the steering wheel so that it points toward your
face. Always make sure that the steering wheel points toward
your chest. Otherwise, the airbag system cannot protect you
properly in the event of a crash.
Always hold the steering wheel on the outside of the steering
wheel rim with your hands at the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock posi-
tions to help reduce the risk of serious personal injury if the
driver's airbag inflates.
Never hold the steering wheel at the 12 o'clock position or
with your hands anywhere inside the steering wheel or on the
steering wheel hub. Holding the steering wheel the wrong way
increases the risk of severe injury to the arms, hands, and head
if the driver airbag deploys.
