Seat s and sto rage
Seats and storage
General information
Why is your seat adjustment so important?
The safety belts and the airbag system can only
provide maximum protection if the front seats are correctly adjusted .
There are various ways of adjusting the front
seats to provide safe and comfortable support
for the dr iver and the front passenger . Adjust
your seat properly so that:
- you can easily and quickly reach all the switches
and controls in the instrument panel
- your body is properly supported thus reducing
physical stress and fatigue
- the safety belts and a irbag system can offer
maximum protection
¢ page 129.
In the following sections, you will see exact ly
how you can best adjust your seats.
There are spec ial regulat ions and instr uctions for
installing a c hild safety seat on the front pas­
senger 's seat . Always fo llow the information re­
garding child safety provided inc::>
page 151,
Child safety.
A WARNING
Refer to ¢ page 112, Driving safety for im­
portant information, tips, suggestions and
wa rnings that you should read and follow for
your own safety and the safety of yo ur pas­
senge rs.
A WARNING
In correct seating position of the driver and all
other p assenge rs can result in serious person­
al injury .
- Always keep you r fee t on the floor when the
vehicle is in motion -never put your feet on
top o f the instr ument pane l, o ut o f the win ­
dow or on top of the seat cushion. This ap­
plies espec ially to the passenge rs. If your
seat ing pos ition is inco rrect, you increase
the risk of injury in the case of sudden brak­
ing o r an accident. If the airbag inflates and
54
the seating position is incorrect, this could
result in personal injury or even death.
- It is important for both the driver and front
passenger to keep a distance of at least
10 inches (25 cm) between themselves and
the steering wheel and/or instrument pan­
el. If you're sitt ing any closer than this, the
airbag system cannot protect you properly .
In addition , the front seats and head re­
straints must be adjusted to your body
he igh t so that they can g ive you maximum
protection.
- Always try to keep as much distance as pos­
sible between yourself and the s teer ing
wheel or instrument pane l.
- Do not adjust the driver's or fron t passeng­
er 's sea t while the vehicle is moving. Yo ur
seat may move unexpectedly, causing sud­
den loss of vehicle contro l and personal in­
jury. If you ad just yo ur seat while the veh icle
is moving, you are out of pos ition.
Driver's seat
The correct seat position is important for safe
and relaxed driving.
We recommend that you adjust the dr iver's seat
in the following manner:
.. Adjust the seat in fo re and aft direction so tha t
you c an ea sily push the ped als to the floor
while keeping your knees slight ly bent
c::> A in
Why is your seat adjustment so important? on
page 54.
.. Adjust the seatback so that when you sit with
your back against the seatback, you can still
grasp the top of the steering wheel.
.. App lies to veh icles w ith adjustable head re ­
straints : Adjust the head restraint so the upper
edge is as even as possible with the top of your
head.
If t h at i s not poss ible , try to a djust the
he ad rest raint so tha t it is as close to this pos i­
tion as possible
c::> page 57.
A WARNING
N eve r place any objects in the dr iver's foot­
well. An object could get into the pedal area and interfere with pedal function. In case of
-

sudden braking or an accident, you would not
be able to brake or accelerate.
Front passenger's seat
Always move the front passenger seat into the
r e armos t position .
To avoid contact with t he a irbag while it is de ­
p loying, do not sit any closer to the inst rument
panel than necessary and a lways wear the three­
point saf ety b elt prov id ed adjust ed correctly. W e
r ecommend that you ad just the passenger's seat
in the following manner:
• Bring the backrest up to an (almost) upright
position .
Do not ride with the s eat r eclin ed .
• Applies to vehicles with adjustable head re­
strain ts: Adjust the head restraint so the upper
edge is as even as possible with the top of your
head . If that is not possible, try to adjust the
head restraint so that it is as close to th is posi­
t ion as poss ible

lnJ Ury.
- To reduce the risk of injury in the case of
sudden b raking or acc ident, front passen­
ge rs must neve r ride i n a moving veh icle
wit h the backrest reclined. Safety belts and
the airbag system on ly o ffer maximum pro ­
tect ion when the bac krest is upr ight and the
safety belts a re prope rly positioned on the
