Swallowing batteries with a diameter of
20 mm or other lithium batteries can result in
severe or even fatal injuries within a very
short period of time.
• Always keep the vehicle key, key ring w ith
batteries, spare batteries, round cells and
other batteries that are larger than 20 mm out
of the reach of children.

• Call for medical help immediately you sus
pect that someone has swallowed a battery.
A WARNING . .,~
Improper or unsupervised use of the vehicle
key can cause accidents or injuries.
• Always take all vehicle keys with you ev
ery time you leave the vehicle. Children or
unauthorised persons could lock the doors
and tailgate, start the engine or switch on the
ignition and thus operate electrical equip
ment, such as the electric windows.
• Never leave children or people requiring
assistance alone in the vehicle. They could
become trapped in the vehicle in an emergen
cy and may not be able to get themselves to
safety. Depending on the time of year, for ex
ample, locked vehicles can be subjected to
very high or very low temperatures. This can
cause serious injuries and illness or fatali
ties, especially for small children.
• Never remove the vehicle key from the ig
nition Jock when the vehicle is in motion. The
steering Jock may be activated and you will
no longer be able to steer the vehicle.

When removing or fitting head restraints, make
sure that they do not hit the roof or other parts
of the vehicle. The roof and other vehicle parts
could otherwise be damaged.
Fig. 50 Adjusting the steering wheel position me
chanically
r-f"'n First read and observe the i~troductory
~ information and safety warnmgs ~on
page 66.
Adjust the steering wheel position before setting
off
and only when the vehicle is sta tionary.
• Push down the lever =>Fig . 50 G).
• Adjust the steering wheel so that you can hold
it on the outside
of the ring (at the 9 o'cl ock and 3
o'clock positions) with both hands and slightly bent
arms.
• Push the lever up firmly until it lines up with the
steering column
=> ~-
Incorrect use of the steering column position
adjustment and incorrect adjustment of the
steering wheel can cause serious or fatal in
juries.
• After adjusting the steering column, al
ways move lever CD up so that it engages se
curely. This prevents the steering column
from moving spontaneously while the vehicle
is in motion.
• Never adjust the steering wheel when the
vehicle is in motion. If you determine that a
readjustment is necessary, stop the vehicle
safely and adjust the steering wheel to the
correct position.
• The steering wheel must always point to
wards the chest and not towards the face.
This ensures that the driver front airbag pro
vides maximum protection in the event of an
accident.
• While driving, always keep both hands on
the outside of the steering wheel, at the 9
o'clock and 3 o'clock positions. This reduces
the risk of injury if the driver front airbag is
triggered.
• Never hold the steering wheel at the
12 o'clock position, or in any other manner,
e.g .
on the hub of the steering wheel. If the
driver front airbag is triggered, you could re
ceive severe injuries to the arms, hands and
head. ~--------------------------____ _j
