Adjustment of the driver's seat
WARNING
●
An incorrect sitting position of the driver
can lead to severe injuries.
●
Adjust the driver's seat so that there is at
least 25 cm distance between the centre of
the chest and the centre of the steering
wheel
. If you are sitting closer
than 25 cm, the airbag system cannot pro-
tect you properly.
●
If your physical constitution prevents you
from maintaining the minimum distance of
25 cm, contact a specialised workshop.
The workshop will help you decide if spe-
cial specific modifications are necessary.
●
When driving, always hold the steering
wheel with both hands on the outside of the
ring at the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock posi-
tions. This reduces the risk of injury when
the driver airbag is triggered.
●
Never hold the steering wheel at the 12
o'clock position, or in any other manner
(e.g. in the centre of the steering wheel). In
such cases, if the airbag is triggered, you
may sustain injuries to the arms, hands and
head.
●
To reduce the risk of injury to the driver
during sudden braking manoeuvres or an
accident, never drive with the backrest til-
ted far back! The airbag system and seat
belts can only provide optimal protection
when the backrest is in an upright position
and the driver is wearing his or her seat belt
correctly.
●
Adjust the head restraint properly to ach-
ieve optimal protection.
