Seats
75Seats
Depending on the vehicle's equipment, seat
adjustments can be made either manually/
electrically or electrically*. G
Risk of injury
The seats can still be adjusted when there
is no key in the ignition lock. For this rea-
son, children should never be left unsuper-
vised in the vehicle. They could become
trapped by a seat adjustment movement. G
Risk of accident
Only adjust the driver's seat when the vehi-
cle is stationary. You will otherwise be dis-
tracted from the road and traffic conditions
and you could lose control of the vehicle as
a result of the seat moving. This could
cause an accident. G
Risk of injury
Make sure that nobody can become trap-
ped as you adjust the seat.
Observe the notes concerning the airbag
system.
Secure children as recommended; see the
"Children in the vehicle" section. !
When you move the seats, make sure that
there are no objects in the footwell or
behind the seats. Otherwise, you could
damage the seats and the objects.
i The head restraints in the front seats are
fitted with the NECK-PRO system
(Y page 49). For this reason, it is not pos-
sible to remove the head restraints from
the front seats.
For design reasons, the rear-compartment
head restraints cannot be removed.

adjust the steering wheel either manually or
electrically*.

The electrically adjustable steering
wheel* can be adjusted when the key is
removed from the ignition lock. Therefore,
do not leave children unsupervised in the
vehicle as they could become trapped as

anism is locked in position. You might oth-
erwise drive without the steering wheel

pected movement of the steering wheel
and thereby cause an accident.
