cause sudden loss of control, resulting in
serious personal injury or death.
f Do not adjust seats while the vehicle is in mo-
tion.The backrest locks must be engaged at all
times while the vehicle is in motion.
Safety belts only offer protection when the
backrest is upright and the belts are properly
positioned on the body.
Improperly positioned sa fety belts or safety
belts worn by passengers in an excessively
reclined position can cause serious personal
injury or death in an accident.
f Do not operate the car with the driver or
passenger backrests excessively reclined.
f Please see the chapter “SEAT POSITION” on
page 38.
Danger of injury if pe rsons or animals are in
the movement range of the seat during seat
adjustment.
f Adjust the seat so that no-one is put at risk.
f Do not activate the comf ort memory button if
there is any risk of the seat crushing the
occupant. f
Cancel automatic adjustment by pressing any
of the seat adjustment buttons.
f Do not leave children in the vehicle unattended,

f Adjust the seat so that the s e a t b a c k re s t i s n o t in contact with any other object.
The driver, front, and back passenger seats
provide integrated head restraints in the
backrests. The head restraints are not adjustable. Warning!
All occupants, including the driver, should not
operate a vehicle or sit in a vehicle’s seat until the
head restraints and backrests, respectively, are
placed in their proper posi tions so that the risk of
neck injuries is minimize d in the event of a crash.
For a proper positioning of the head restraint, the
seatback’s inclination should be adjusted such
that the head restraint is in an upright position.
Driver and passengers should be seated upright
and in the center of their seats.
Seat positionAn ergonomically correct sitting position is
important for safe and fatigue-free driving. We
recommend the following procedure for adjusting
the driver’s seat to suit individual requirements:
1. Adjust the seat until, with your left foot on the footrest, your left leg remains at a slight angle.
2. Rest your outstretched arm on the steering wheel. Set the backrest angle and the steering-
wheel position so that your wrist rests on the
outer rim of the steering wheel. At the same
time, the shoulders must still be in noticeable
contact with the backrest.
3. Adjust the seat height to give yourself enough headroom and a good overview of the vehicle.
4. Electrically adjustable seat: Adjust the seat angle until your thighs rest
lightly on the seat cushion.
