efficacy of the safety belt can no longer be en‐
sured. There is a risk of sliding under the safety
belt in an accident. There is a risk of injuries or
danger to life. Adjust the seat prior to starting
the trip. Adjust the backrest so that it is in the
most upright position as possible and do not
adjust again while driving.

cific and optional features offered with the series.
It also describes features that are not necessarily
available in your vehicle, for instance, due to the
selected options or country versions. This also

served.
Warning
Sitting safely
There is a risk of jamming when moving the
seats. There is a risk of injury or risk of damage
to property. Make sure that the area of move‐
ment of the seat is clear prior to any adjust‐
ment.
An ideal seating position that meets the needs of
the occupants can make a vital contribution to
relaxed, fatigue-free driving.
In the event of an accident, the correct seating
position plays an important role. Additionally, fol‐
low the following chapters for safe driving:
Rear seating positions
▷ Seats, refer to page 81.

utility of the rear seats is limited. In order to keep
the risk of an injury during an accident as small
as possible, the top edge of the backrest should
be at least just above eye height.
▷ Safety belts, refer to page 83.
▷ Head restraints, refer to page 85.
▷ Airbags, refer to page 134.
