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

•
Fasten your seat belt correctly
^>page

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.

front passenger's seat, move the front passen­
ger's backrest forward until it makes contact

A in Child seat categories on
page 269 and the instructions provided by
the child seat manufacturer.
- Never install
a
rearward-facing child seat on
the front passenger's seat unless the front
passenger's airbag has been deactivated -
this can result in potentially fatal injuries to
the
child.

Pedal area
Pedals

The
pedals must always be free to move and
must never be obstructed by floor mats or any
objects in the footwell.

•
Make sure that none of the pedals is obstructed
and all of the pedals can be pressed all the way
down to the floor.

•
Make sure that all pedals are able to return
freely to their original positions.
Only use floor mats which Leave the pedal area
free and can be securely fastened in the footwell.
If one of the brake circuits should
fail,
increased
brake pedal travel will be required to bring the
vehicle safely to a stop.
A WARNING
Any obstructions that restrict pedal travel can
cause loss of vehicLe control and lead to
criti­

cal traffic situations.
- Never place objects in the driver's footwell.
Such objects could move under the pedals
and interfere with their proper function. In
the event of sudden braking or
a
change of

direction,
you would not be able to use the
pedals. This could result in a loss of control
and possibly cause an accident.
Floor mats on the driver's side

Use
only floor mats which can be securely fas­
tened in the footwell and do not obstruct the
pedals.

•
Make sure that floor mats are securely fastened
and cannot interfere with the pedals
o /\.

Use only floor mats that leave the pedal area un­
obstructed and are firmly secured to prevent
them from slipping. You can obtain suitable floor
mats from your dealer or a specialist retailer.

A WARNING

Any obstructions that restrict pedal travel can
cause Loss of vehicle control and increase the
risk of serious personal injury.
- Always make sure that floor mats are prop­
erly secured.
- Never lay or
instaLl
additional floor mats or
other floor coverings over the existing floor

mats;
this would restrict the pedal area and
possibly obstruct the pedals, which could
cause an accident.

Seat belts

•
Pull the belt to check that it is now securely fas­

tened.

The three-point inertia reel belts are tensioned
automatically. The retractor system gives com­
plete freedom of movement, as long as the pull
on the belt is slow. Hard braking locks the belt.
The belt will also lock when you accelerate, drive
up or down a steep hill or corner sharply.
A WARNING
- Always make certain that the belt is
posi­

tioned properly
^>Fig.
220 - risk of injury

<=$page

ries because they allow excessive forward
movement in a crash; the occupant will be
brought to a sudden stop by the belt web­

bing.
