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.

•
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

•
Keep both feet in the footwell so that you are in
full controL of the vehicle at all times.

driver's seat, see

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
