General notes
Safety is the first priority
The safety features in your vehicle are harmon­
ised to provide you and your passengers with the
best possible protection in accident situations.
However, they can only be effective if you and
your passengers sit in the correct position and
adjust and use the safety equipment properly.
For these reasons, this chapter explains why
these safety features are so important, how they
can protect you, what you need to remember
when using them, and
how
you and your passen­
gers can gain the most benefit from them. There
are also a number of important safety warnings
which you and your passengers should always ob­
serve in order to minimise the risk of injury.
WARNING
- The information in this chapter is important
for the driver of the vehicle and all passen­

gers.
The other chapters in this manual

(and,
where applicable, in the other litera­
ture supplied with the vehicle) contain fur­
ther important notes which you should read
and observe for your own safety and that of
your passengers.
- Ensure that the complete vehicle wallet is
always in the vehicle. This is especially im­
portant when you lend or sell the vehicle to
others.

Before every trip
The driver is responsible for the safety of the
passengers and the safe operation of the vehicle
at all times.

For
your own safety and the safety of your pas­
sengers, always note the following points before
every trip:

•
Make sure that all lights and turn signals are
working properly.

•
Check the tyre pressures.

•
Make sure that all windows are clean and give
good visibility to the outside.

•
Secure all luggage and other items carefully

•=>
page 272.
• Make sure that no objects can interfere with
the pedals.

•
Adjust the front seat, head restraint and mir­
rors correctly.
• Applies to: adjustable head restraints: Make
sure that the front passenger's head restraint is
adjusted to the correct position.
• Applies to: adjustable head restraints: Make
sure that the head restraints for the rear pas­
sengers are in the fully raised position.

•
Make sure that children are protected with suit­
able safety seats and properly worn seat belts

•=>
page 267.

•
Sit in the correct position in your seat. Make
sure
that
your passengers are sitting in the cor­
rect positions
^>page
58.

•
Fasten your seat belt correctly. Make sure that
your passengers do the same
^page
275.
What factors can impair your safety?
Safety on the road is directly related to
how
you
drive, and can also be affected by the passengers
in the vehicle.
• The driver is responsible for the safety of the
vehicle and all its occupants. If your ability to
drive is impaired in any way, you endanger
yourself and other road users
,=>^.
Therefore:
• Do not let yourself be distracted by passengers
or by using a mobile phone, etc.

•
Never drive when your driving ability is im­
paired (by medication, alcohol, drugs, etc.).
• Obey all traffic regulations and speed limits
and always maintain a safe distance to the
vehi­

cle in front.

•
Always adjust your speed to suit the
road,
traf­
fic and weather conditions.

•
Take frequent breaks on long trips. Do not drive
for more than two hours without a stop.

•
If possible, avoid driving when you are tired or

stressed.
•
263

Safe driving

/K WARNING

- Distractions while driving or any kind of im­
pairment to your driving ability increase the
risk of accident and injury.
- Do not place loose objects on the dash
pan­

el.
These objects could fly around the interi­
or when the vehicle is moving (under accel­
eration or whilst cornering) and distract the
driver - risk of accident!

Fig.
208 Adjust seat and sit in correct position
For your own safety, and to reduce the risk of in­
jury in the event of an accident, we recommend
the following driving position.

•
Adjust the driver's seat and steering wheel so
there is a distance of at least 25 cm between
your breastbone and the centre of the steering

wheel
o>F/g.
208.

•
Adjust the height and fore/aft position of the
driver's seat so that you are able to press the
pedals to the floor without fully straightening
your legs
oA.

•
Adjust the backrest to an upright position so
that your back remains in contact with the up­
holstery.

*•
Adjust the longitudinal position of the steering
wheel so that your arms are slightly bent and
you can read the dials and instruments easily.

•
Make sure that you can comfortably reach the
top of the steering wheel.

•
AppLies to adjustable head restraints: Adjust
the head restraint so that the top of the head
restraint is
level
with the top of your head. If
this is not possible, try to adjust the head re­
straint as near as possible to this position.

•
Fasten your seat belt correctly
^>page
275.

•
Keep both feet in the footwell so that you are in
full controL of the vehicle at all times.
For detailed information on how to adjust the
driver's seat, see
^>page
58, Front seats.
A WARNING
A driver who is not sitting in the correct
posi­

tion or who is not wearing a seat belt can be
fatally injured
if
the airbag is triggered.
- Adjust the driver's seat and steering wheel
so there is a distance of at least 25 cm be­
tween your breastbone and the centre of the
steering wheel
^>Fig.
208.
-While driving, always hold the steering
wheel with both hands on the outside of the
rim at about the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock
posi­

tion.
This reduces the risk of injury if the
driver's airbag inflates.
- Never hold the steering wheel at the 12
o'clock position, or with your hands inside
the rim or on the steering wheel hub. This
could result in serious injuries to the arms,
hands and head if the driver's airbag in­

flates.

- To reduce any risk of injury to the driver dur­
ing a sudden brake application or in an
acci­

dent, never drive with the backrest tilted
too far back. The airbag system and seat
belts can only provide proper protection
when the backrest is in an upright position
and the driver 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.
- Adjust the head restraint properly so that it
can give maximum protection.
Correct position for the front passenger

The
front seat passenger must sit at least 25 cm
away from the dash panel so that the airbag has
enough room to inflate and give maximum pro­
tection in an accident.
For your own safety and to reduce the risk of in­
jury in the event of
an
accident, we recommend
adjusting the front passenger's seat as follows:

•
Adjust the backrest to an upright position so
that your back remains in contact with the up­
holstery.

•
Adjust the head restraint so that the top of the
head restraint is level with the top of your
265

Safe driving

head.
If this is not possible, try to adjust the
head restraint as near as possible to this
posi­

tion.

•
Keep both feet in the footwell in front of the
seat.

•
Fasten your seat belt correctly
^>page
277.
In exceptional cases you can disable the front
passenger's airbag via the key-operated switch*

^>page
288.
For detailed information on how to adjust the
front passenger's seat, see
^page
58, Front
seats.
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.
