risk of injury. The following list includes most
of the safety equipment in your SEAT:
● Three-point seat belts
● Belt tension limiter for the front and rear
side seats
● Belt tensioners for the front seats
● Front airbags
● Side airbags in the front seat backrests,
with chest and head protection
● “ISOFIX” anchor points for “ISOFIX” rear
child seat system
● Height-adjustable front head restraints
● Rear-centre head restraints with in-use po-
sition and non-use position
● Adjustable steering column
The safety equipment mentioned above
works together to provide you and your pas-
sengers with the best possible protection in
the event of an accident. However, these
safety systems can only be effective if you
and your passengers are sitting in a correct
position and use this equipment properly.
Safety is everyone's business! Proper sitting position for
occupants
Correct sitting position for driver Fig. 46
The proper distance between driver
and steering wheel Fig. 47
Correct head restraint position for the
driver. For your own safety and to reduce the risk of
injury in the event of an accident, we recom-mend the following adjustments for the driv-
er:
– Adjust the steering wheel so that there is a
distance of at least 25 cm between the
steering wheel and the centre of your chest
››› Fig. 46 .
– Mo v
e the driver seat forwards or backwards
so that you are able to press the accelera-
tor, brake and clutch pedals to the floor
with your knees still slightly angled ››› .
– Ensure that you can reach the highest point
of the steering wheel.
– Adjust the head restraint so that its upper
edge is at the same level as the top of your
head, or as close as possible to the same
level as the top of your head ››› Fig. 47 .
– Mo v

e the seat backrest to an upright posi-
tion so that your back rests completely
against it.
– Fasten your seat belt securely ››› page 34.
– Keep both feet in the footwell so that you
have the vehicle under control at all times.
Adjustment of the driver seat ››› page 100. WARNING
● An incorrect sitting position of the driver
can lead to severe injuries.
● Adjust the driver seat so that there is at
least 25 cm distance between the centre of 30

Safe driving
the chest and the centre of the steering
wheel
››› Fig. 46. If distance is less than 25
c m, the airb
ag system may not protect you
properly.
● If your physical constitution prevents you
from maintaining the minimum distance of 25
cm, contact a specialised workshop. The
workshop will help you decide if special spe-
cific modifications are necessary.
● When driving, always hold the steering
wheel with both hands on the outside of the
ring at the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock positions.
This reduces the risk of injury when the driver
airbag is triggered.
● Never hold the steering wheel at the 12
o'clock position, or in any other manner (e.g.
in the centre of the steering wheel). In such
cases, if the airbag is triggered, you may sus-
tain injuries to the arms, hands and head.
● To reduce the risk of injury to the driver
during sudden braking manoeuvres or an ac-
cident, never drive with the backrest tilted far
back! The airbag system and seat belts can
only provide optimal protection when the
backrest is in an upright position and the
driver is wearing his or her seat belt correct-
ly.
● Adjust the head restraint properly to ach-
ieve optimal protection. Adjusting the steering wheel position
Read the additional information carefully
›››  page 13
The height and reach of the steering wheel
can be freely adjusted to suit the driver.
– Adjust the driver seat to the correct posi-
tion. WARNING
● Incorrect use of the steering column adjust-
ment function and an incorrect seating posi-
tion can result in serious injury.
● To avoid accidents, the steering column
should be adjusted only when the vehicle is
stationary.
● Adjust the driver seat or steering wheel so
that there is a distance of at least 25 cm be-
tween the steering wheel and your chest
››› Fig. 46. If you fail to observe the minimum
di s

tance, the airbag will not protect you. Risk
of fatal injury.
● If your physical constitution does not allow
you to maintain the minimum distance of
25 cm, contact a Technical Service. The Tech-
nical Service will help you to decide if certain
specific modifications are necessary.
● If you adjust the steering wheel so that it
points towards your face, the driver airbag
will not protect you properly in the event of
an accident. Make sure that the steering
wheel points towards your chest. ●
When driving, always hold the steering
wheel with both hands on the outside of the
ring at the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock positions.
Never hold the steering wheel at the 12
o'clock position, or in any other manner (e.g.
in the centre of the steering wheel, or on the
inside of the rim). In such cases, if the airbag
is triggered, you may sustain injuries to your
arms, hands and head. Correct sitting position for front
passenger
For your own safety and to reduce the risk of
injury in the event of an accident, we recom-
mend the following adjustments for the front
passenger:
– Move the front passenger seat back as far
as possible ››› .
– Move the seat backrest to an upright posi-
tion so that your back rests completely
against it.
– Adjust the head restraint so that its upper
edge is at the same level as the top of your
head, or as close as possible to the same
level as the top of your head ››› page 32.
– Always keep both feet in the footwell in
front of the front passenger seat.
– Fasten your seat belt securely ››› page 34.

Operation
Tyre pressure adjustment
On adjusting tyre pressure or changing one
or more wheels, the ››› Fig. 71 button must be
k ept
pressed down, with the ignition on, until
an acoustic signal is heard.
If the wheels are under excessive load (for ex-
ample, driving with a trailer or heavy load),
the tyre pressure must be increased to the
recommended value for a full load (see the
sticker on the inside of the fuel flap). If the
tyre monitor system button is pressed down,
the new tyre pressures are confirmed.
The tyre pressure control lamp  lights up
If the tyre pressure of a wheel is much lower
than the value set by the driver, then the tyre
pressure control lamp ››› will light up.
WARNING
● When the tyre pressure control lamp lights
up, reduce speed immediately and avoid any
sudden turning or braking manoeuvre. Stop
when possible, and check the tyre pressure
and status.
● The driver is responsible for maintaining
correct tyre pressures. For this reason, tyre
pressure must be regularly checked.
● Under certain circumstances (e.g. when
driving in a sporty manner, in winter condi-
tions or on a dirt track) the tyre control lamp
may light up belatedly or may function incor-
rectly. Note
If the battery is disconnected, the yellow
warning lamp  lights up after turning the
ignition on.
This should turn off after a brief
journey. Speed selector lever lock* 
The brake pedal must be depressed when
this warning lamp lights up. This is necessary
when the automatic gearbox* selector lever
is moved out of the positions

in the tank, and an

Door open display*  This warning lamp lights up if one of the
doors is open.
The warning light
 should go off when all
the doors are closed correctly. Rear lid open*  The warning lamp 
should switch off when
the r

ear lid is fully closed.
Main beam headlights  The warning lamp  lights up when the main
beams are on or when the headlight flasher
is operated.
For further information see
››› page 93.
Electro-hydraulic steering*  The level of steering assistance depends on
the vehicle speed and on the steering wheel
turning speed.
The warning lamp should light up for a few
seconds when the ignition is switched on. It
should go out once the engine is started.
There is a fault in the electro-hydraulic steer-
ing system if the lamp does not go out or
lights up whilst the vehicle is in motion. Take
the vehicle to technical services as soon as
possible.
