A WARNING
Never place any objects in the driver's foot-
well. An object could get into the pedal
area and interfere with pedal function. In
case of sudden braking or an accident, you
would not be able to brake or accelerate .
Front passenger's seat
Always move the front passenger seat into
the rearmost position .
To avoid contact with the airbag while it is de-
ploying, do not sit any closer to the instru-
ment panel than necessary and always wear
the three-point safety belt provided adjusted
correctly . We recommend that you adjust the
passenger's seat in the following manner:
• Bring the backrest up to an (almost) upright
position. Do not ride with the seat reclined .
• Applies to vehicles with adjustable head re-
straints: Adjust the head restraint so the up-
per edge is as even as possible with the top
of your head . If that is not possible, try to
adjust the head restraint so that it is as
close to this position as possible
¢ page 56.
• Place your feet on the floor in front of the
passenger's seat.

A WARNING
- -
- Never adjust the driver's or front pas -
senger's seat while the vehicle is moving.
If you do this while the vehicle is moving,
you will be out of position . Always adjust
the driver's or front passenger's seat
when the vehicle is not mov ing.
- Be careful when adjusting the seat
height . Check to see that no one is in the
way, or serious injury could result!
- Because the seats can be electrically ad-
justed with the ignition off or with the
ignition key removed, never leave chil-
dren unattended in the vehicle. Unsuper-
vised use of the electric seat adjust-
ments may cause serious injury.
- To reduce the risk of injury in the case of
sudden braking or accident, front pas -
sengers must never ride in a moving ve-
hicle with the backrest reclined. Safety
belts and the airbag system only offer
maximum protection when the backrest
is upright and the safety belts are prop-
erly positioned on the body. The more
the backrest is reclined, the greater the
risk of personal injury from an incorrect
seating position and improperly posi-
tioned safety belts .
