Important safety notes

G

WARNING

Children could become trapped if they adjust

the seats, particularly when unattended.

There is a risk of injury.

When leaving the vehicle, always take the

SmartKey with you and lock the vehicle. Never

leave children unsupervised in the vehicle.

G

steering wheel or mirrors

R

fasten the seat belt

There is a risk of an accident.

Adjust the driver's seat, head restraint, steer-

ing wheel and mirror and fasten your seat belt

before starting the engine.

G

WARNING

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 adjust-

ment buttons and become trapped. There is a

risk of injury.

While moving the seats, make sure that your

hands or other body parts do not get under the

lever assembly of the seat adjustment sys-

tem.

G

WARNING

When you adjust a seat, you or other vehicle

occupants could become trapped, e.g. on the

seat guide rail. There is a risk of injury.

Make sure when adjusting a seat that no one

has any body parts in the sweep of the seat.

G

WARNING

If head restraints are not installed and adjus-

ted correctly, they cannot provide protection

as intended. 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 instal-

led. Before driving off, make sure for every

vehicle occupant that the center of the head

restraint supports the back of the head at

about eye level.

G

WARNING

The seat belt does not offer the intended level

of protection if you have not moved the back-

rest to an almost vertical position. When brak-

ing or in the event of an accident, you could

slide underneath the seat belt and sustain

abdomen or neck injuries, for example. This

poses an increased risk of injury or even fatal

injury.

Adjust the seat properly before beginning

your journey. Always ensure that the backrest

is in an almost vertical position and that the

shoulder section of your seat belt is routed

across the center of your shoulder.

G

WARNING
