When leaving the vehicle, always take the key with you and lock the vehicle.
Never leave children unattended 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 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.
WARNING Risk of accident due to the driver's seat not being engaged

The driver's seat may move unexpectedly while the vehicle is in motion.

This could cause you to lose control of the vehicle.

Always make sure that the driver's seat is engaged before starting the vehicle.
WARNING Risk of injury or death due to the front seat being positioned too close to the cockpit

The front airbags can also injure the occupants in the front of the vehicle.

Always adjust the front seats so they are as far away as possible from the front airbags.
In addition, observe the notes on correct seat adjustment.
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.
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.

Vehicles with amplifiers under the driver's seat:

The amplifier can become hot during operation.
