Sitting position
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
Dangers of assuming an incorrect sitting position
Correct sitting posi
Number of seats
The vehicle has a total of five seats: two at the front and three at the rear.
Each seat is equipped with a seat belt.

WARNING
Assuming an incorrect sitting position in the vehicle can increase the risk of severe or fatal injuries
during a sudden driving or braking manoeuvre in the event of a collision or accident or if the airbags
are triggered.
All vehicle occupants must assume a correct sitting position before setting off and maintain this
position throughout the trip. This also applies for the fastening of seat belts.
The number of vehicle occupants must never exceed the number of seats with seat belts in the
vehicle.
Always secure children in the vehicle in an authorised child restraint system which is suitable for
their height and weight Safe transport of childrenand Airbag system
Always keep your feet in the footwell while the vehicle is in motion. Never place your feet on the
seat or dash panel, for example, and never ride with your feet out of the window. The airbag and
seat belt can otherwise not provide optimal protection and can actually increase the risk of injury
during an accident.
Dangers of assuming an incorrect sitting position
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings
If the seat belts are not worn or are worn incorrectly, the risk of severe or fatal injuries increases.
Seat belts can provide optimal protection only if seat belt routing is correct. An incorrect sitting
position considerably impairs the level of protection provided by a seat belt. This could lead to
severe or even fatal injuries. The risk of severe or fatal injuries is especially increased when a

is responsible for all occupants transported in the vehicle, especially children.
The following list contains examples of sitting positions that can be dangerous for all vehicle
occupants.
Whenever the vehicle is in motion:
Never stand in the vehicle.
Never stand on the seats.
Never kneel on the seats.
Never tilt the backrest too far to the rear.
Never lean against the dash panel.
Never lie on the seats in the passenger compartment and on the rear bench seat.
Never sit on the front edge of a seat.
Never sit sideways.
Never lean out of a window.
Never put your feet out of a window.
Never put your feet on the dash panel.
Never place your feet on the seat cushion or seat backrest.
Never travel in a footwell.
Never sit on the armrests.
Never travel on a seat without wearing the seat belt.
Never travel in the luggage compartment.

WARNING
Every incorrect sitting position in the vehicle increases the risk of severe or fatal injuries in the event
of an accident or sudden driving or braking manoeuvre.
All vehicle occupants must maintain a correct sitting position and wear their seat belt properly while
the vehicle is in motion.
Sitting in an incorrect position, not fastening the seat belt, or not leaving adequate space between
the occupants and the airbags could inflict critical or fatal injuries, especially if the airbags deploy
and strike an occupant who has assumed an incorrect sitting position.
Correct sitting position

does not
mean there is a fire in the vehicle.
The fine dust can cause irritation to the skin and eye membranes as well as cause breathing
difficulties, particularly for those people suffering from asthma or other respiratory health problems.
In order to reduce breathing difficulties, get out of the vehicle or open the windows or doors in
order to breathe fresh air.
If you should come into contact with the dust, you should wash your hands and face with a mild
soap and water before eating.
Do not rub the dust into your eyes or into open wounds.
If dust has entered your eyes, rinse them with water.

WARNING
Cleaning agents that contain solvents cause the surface of the airbag modules to become porous. In
an accident that triggers the airbag, loose plastic parts can cause serious injury.
Never clean the dash panel or the airbag covers with cleaning agents that contain solvents.

A door which is not closed properly could open suddenly while the vehicle is in motion. This could
lead to serious injuries.
Stop as soon as possible and close the door.
Make sure that the door is closed properly and that the lock has engaged. The closed door must be
flush with the surrounding body panels.
Doors should be opened or closed only when you are sure that nobody is in their path.

vehicle is on a slope. This could lead to injuries.
Always hold doors by the handle when opening and closing doors.

WARNING
The opening and closing paths of the doors and boot lid are potential danger areas where injury can
occur.
The doors and boot lid should therefore be opened or closed only when you are sure that nobody is
in their path.

WARNING
Careless locking of the doors can cause serious injuries.
If the vehicle is locked from the outside, the doors and electric windows cannot be opened from the
inside.
The central locking system locks all doors. Locking the vehicle from the inside can prevent the doors
from being opened unintentionally and unauthorised persons from entering the vehicle. However,
locked doors can delay assistance to passengers inside the vehicle in the event of an accident or
emergency.
