word “AIRBAG”.
When the driver and front passenger airbags
are deployed, the covers remain attached to
the steering wheel and dashboard, respec-
tively ››› Fig. 21 ››› Fig. 22.
In conjunction with the seat belts, the front
airbag system gives the front occupants ad-
ditional protection for the head and chest in the event of a severe frontal collision
›››
in
Fr ont
airb
ags on page 79.
Their special design allows the controlled es-
cape of the propellant gas when an occupant
puts pressure on the bag. Thus, the head and
chest are protected by the airbag. After the
collision, the airbag deflates sufficiently to
allow visibility.

identified by the text “AIRBAG” in the upper
region of the backrests.
In conjunction with the seat belts, the side
airbag system provides additional protection
for the upper body in the event of a severe
side collision ››› in Side airbags* on
p ag

.
In a side collision, the side airbags reduce
the risk of injury to passengers to the areas
of the body facing the impact. In addition to
their normal function of protecting the occu-
pants in a collision, the front and rear outer
seat belts also hold the passengers in the
event of a side collision; this is how these air-
bags provide maximum protection.

The seat belt may be used to secure univer-
sal type child seats to the vehicle seats
marked with a U in the table below.
If the front passenger seat lacks a height ad-
justment, child seats cannot be mounted is
this location.
To correctly use a child seat in the back, the
front backrest must be adjusted so that there
is no contact with the child seat in the back
in the case that it goes opposite to the direc-
tion of the car. In the case of front facing re-
straint systems, the front backrest must be adjusted so that there is no contact with the
chil
d's feet.
To adjust the passenger seat to accommo-
date a child's seat and get the seat belt in a
perfect position, adjust the passenger back-
rest as far forward as possible.
Starting with Group 0+ child seats should not
be mounted facing backwards in the passen-
ger seat given that due to the size of some of
them, they can be difficult to install.

What affects driving safety? As a driver, you are responsible for yourself
and
your p
assengers. When your concentra-
tion or driving safety is affected by any cir- cumstance, you endanger yourself as well as
others on the r
oad ››› , for this reason:
– Always pay attention to traffic and do not
g et
di
stracted by passengers or telephone
calls.
– Never drive when your driving ability is im-
paired (e.
g. by medication, alcohol, drugs).
– Observe traffic laws and speed limits.
– Always reduce your speed as appropriate
for ro
ad, traffic and weather conditions.
– When travelling long distances, take
break
s regularly - at least every two hours.
– If possible, avoid driving when you are tired
or stre
ssed. WARNING
When driving safety is impaired during a trip,
the risk of
injury and accidents increases. Safety equipment
Never put your safety or the safety of your
p
a
s
sengers in danger. In the event of an acci-
dent, the safety equipment may reduce the
risk of injury. The following list includes most
of the safety equipment in your SEAT:
● Three-point seat belts
● belt tension limiters for the front and rear
side seats,

Safe driving
● Belt
t
ensioners for the front seats
● Front airbags
● knee airbags,
● Side airbags in the front seat backrests
● Side airbags in the rear seat backrests*
● Head-protection airbags
● “ISOFIX” anchor points for child seats in
the rear s
ide seats with the “ISOFIX” system,
● Height-adjustable front head restraints
● Rear head restraints with in-use position

The safety
equipment mentioned above
works together to provide you and your pas-

dist
ance of at least 25 cm between the
steering wheel and the centre of your chest
››› Fig. 83.
– Move 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 s
t
eering 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. 84.
– Move the seat backrest to an upright posi-
tion so that
your back rests completely
against it.
– Fasten your seat belt securely ›››
page 72.
– Keep both feet in the footwell so that you
have the
vehicle under control at all times.
