blades are required for a clear view and safe
driving ~
page 50, Replacing windshield
wiper blades.
(Jd) Note
- If there is frost, make sure the windshield
wiper blades are not frozen to the wind
shield. Switching on the windshield wipers
when the blades are frozen to the wind
shield can damage the wiper blades.
- Prior to using a car wash, the windshield
wiper system must be switched off (lever in position 0). This prevents unintentional
switching on and damage to the windshield
wiper system.
(Di Tips
- The windshield wipers switch off when the
ignition is turned off. You can activate the
windshield wipers after the ignition is
switched back on by moving the windshield
wiper lever to any position.
- Worn or dirty windshield wiper blades result
in streaking . This can affect the rain sensor

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 135.
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 seat on the front passenger's
seat. Always follow the information regarding
child safety provided in ¢
page 159, Child safe
ty .
A WARNING
Incorrect seating position of the driver and all
other passengers can result in serious person
al injury.
- Always keep your feet on the floor when the
vehicle is in motion - never put your feet on
top o f the instr ument pane l, o ut of the win
dow o r on top of the sea t cushion. This ap
plies espe cially to the passenge rs.
If your
seat ing pos ition is inco rre ct, you increase
the risk of injury in the case of sudden brak
ing or an accident . If the airbag inf lates and
the seating position is incor rect, this could
result in personal injury or even death.
- It is important for both the driver and front
passenge r to keep a d istance o f at least
10 inches (25 cm) between themselves and
the steering wheel and/or instrument pan el. If you're s itting any closer than this, the
airbag system cannot pro tect you properly.
52
In addition, the front seats and head re
straints must be adjusted to your body
he ight so that they can give you maximum
protection .
- Always try to keep as much distance as pos
sible between yourself and the steer ing
wheel or instrument panel.
- Do not adjust the driver's or front passeng
er's seat while the veh icle 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 a re o ut of po sition.
, Driver's seat
The correct seat position is important for safe
and relaxed driving .
We recommend that you adjust the dr iver's seat
i n the following manner:
.. Adjust the seat in fore and aft direction so that
you can easi ly push the pedals to the floor
while keep ing your knees slightly bent¢
A. in
Why is your seat adjustment so important? on
page 52 .
.. Adjust the bac krest so that whe n you s it w it h
your back agains t the backrest, yo u can s till
gras p the top of the steering wheel.
.. For adj ustab le head rest raints: adj ust the head
restraint so t he upper edge is as even as possi
ble with the top of your head . If that is not pos
sible, try to adjust the head restraint so that it
is as close to this posit io n as poss ible
¢ page 55 . Move the head restraint so that it
is as close to the back of the head as poss ible .
A WARNING
Neve r place a ny objec ts in the dr iver's foo t
well. An objec t could get into the pedal a rea
a nd interfere with pedal func tion. In c ase of
sud den bra king or an accident, you would not
be ab le to b rake or accelerate .

Front passenger's seat
Always move the front passenger seat into the
rearmost position .
To avoid contact with the airbag while it is de
ploying, do not sit any closer to the instrument
panel than necessary and always wear the three
point safety belt provided adjusted correctly. We
recommend that you adjust the passenger's seat
in the following manner:
.. Bring the backrest up to an (almost) upright
posit ion . Do not ride with the seat reclined .
.. For adjustable head restraints: adjust the head
restraint so the upper edge is as even as poss i
ble with the top of your head. If that is not pos
sible, try to adjust the head restraint so that it
is as close to this position as possible
¢ page 55. Mov e the head restraint so that it
is as close to the back of the head as possible.

=
-Never adjust the driver's or front passeng-

do this while the vehicle is moving, you will
be out of position. Always adjust the driver's
or front passenger's seat when the vehicle is
not moving.
- Be careful when adjusting the seat height.
Check to see that no one is in the way, or se
rious injury could result!
- Because the seats can be electrically adjust
ed with the ignition off, never leave children
unattended in the vehicle . Unsupervised use
of the electric seat adjustments may cause
serious injury.
- To reduce the r isk of injury in the case of
sudden braking or accident, front passen
gers must never ride in a moving vehicle
with the backrest reclined. Safety belts and
the airbag system only offer maximum pro
tection when the backrest is upright and the
safety belts are properly positioned on the body. The more the backrest is reclined, the
greater the risk of personal injury from an
incorrect seating position and improperly
positioned safety belts.

greater the risk of pe rsonal inju ry from an
incor rect seating posi tion and imprope rly
positioned safety belts .
