Adjusting the front seat electrically
WARNING Risk of becoming trapped if the seats are adjusted by children
Children could become trapped if they adjust the seats, particularly when unattended.
When leaving the vehicle, always take the key with you and lock the vehicle.
Never leave children unattended in the vehicle.
You can adjust the seats when the ignition is switched off.
WARNING Risk of becoming trapped during seat adjustment
When you adjust a seat, you or other vehicle occupants could become trapped, e.g. on the seat guide rail.
Make sure when adjusting a seat that no one has any body parts in the sweep of the seat.
Observe the safety notes on "Airbags" and "Children in the vehicle".
WARNING Risk of accident due to adjusting vehicle settings while the vehicle is in motion
You could lose control of the vehicle in the following situations in particular:
If you adjust the driver's seat, the head restraints, the steering wheel or the mirror while the vehicle is in motion.
If you fasten your seat belt while the vehicle is in motion.
Before starting the engine: adjust the driver's seat, the head restraints, the steering wheel and the mirror and fasten your seat belt.
WARNING Risk of becoming trapped if the seat height is adjusted carelessly
If you adjust the seat height carelessly, you or other vehicle occupants could be trapped and thereby injured.
Children in particular could accidentally press the electrical seat adjustment buttons and become trapped.
While moving the seats, make sure that hands or other body parts do not get under the lever assembly of the seat adjustment system.
WARNING Risk of injury due to head restraints not being fitted or being adjusted incorrectly
If head restraints have not been installed or have not been adjusted correctly, there is an increased risk of injury in the head and neck area, e.g. in the event of an accident or when braking.
Always drive with the head restraints fitted.
Before driving off, make sure for every vehicle occupant that the centre of the head restraint supports the back of the head at about eye level.
Do not interchange the head restraints of the front and rear seats. Otherwise, you will not be able to adjust the height and angle of the head restraints correctly.
Adjust the head restraint fore-and-aft position so that it is as close as possible to the back of your head.
WARNING Risk of injury or death due to an incorrect seat position
The seat belt does not offer the intended level of protection if you have not moved the seat backrest to an almost vertical position.
You could slip beneath the seat belt and injure yourself.
Adjust the seat properly before commencing your journey.
Always ensure that the seat backrest is in an almost vertical position and that the shoulder belt is routed across the centre of your shoulder.
