safety systems can only be effective if you
and your passengers are sitting in a correct
position and use this equipment properly.
Safety is everyone's business!

Correct belt web and headrest positions
The correct sitting positions for the driver
and passengers are shown below.
If your physical constitution prevents you
from maintaining the correct sitting position,
contact a specialised workshop for help with
any special devices. The seat belt and airbag
can only provide optimum protection if a
correct sitting position is adopted. CUPRA
recommends taking your car in for technical
service.
For your own safety and to reduce the risk of
injury in the event of an accident or sudden
braking or manoeuvre, CUPRA recommends
the following positions:
Valid for all vehicle occupants:
●
Adjust the headrest so that its upper edge
is at the same level as the top of your head,
or as close as possible to the same level as
the top of your head and under no circum-
stances below eye level. Keep the back of
your neck as close as possible to the head-
rest

●
Short people must lower the headrest
completely, even if your head is below its up-
per edge.
●
Tall people must raise the headrest com-
pletely.
