justed with the ignition off, never leave
children unattended in the veh icle. Unsu­
perv ised use of the e lectr ic sea t adj ust­
men ts may cause serious injury.
- To reduce the risk of injury in the case of
sudden b raking or acc iden t, front pas­

hicle with the backrest reclined . Safety
be lts and the airbag system only offer

seating position and improperly pos i­
tioned safety belts .

matically after approximately 10 mi­
nutes.
