Occupant safety
앫 Adjust the driver’s seat as far as possi-
ble rearward, still permitting proper
operation of vehicle controls. The dis-
tance from the center of the driver’s
breastbone to the center of the airbag
cover on the steering wheel must be at
least 10 in (25 cm) or more. You should
be able to accomplish this by a combi-
nation of adjustments to the seat and
steering wheel. If you have any prob-
lems, please see an authorized
Maybach Studio.
앫 Do not lean with your head or chest
close to the steering wheel or dash-
board.
앫 Keep hands on the outside of steering
wheel rim. Placing hands and arms in-
side the rim can increase the risk and
potential severity of hand/arm injury
when driver front airbag inflates.
앫 Adjust the front passenger seat as far
as possible rearward from the dash-
board when the seat is occupied.

앫 Occupants, especially children, should
never lean their heads in the area of
the door where the side airbag in-
flates. This could result in serious inju-
ries or death should the airbag be
triggered. Always sit nearly upright,
properly use the seat belts and appro-
priate size infant or child restraint sys-
tem.
Failure to follow these instructions can re-
sult in severe injuries to you or other occu-
pants.
If you sell your vehicle, it is important that
you make the buyer aware of this safety in-
formation. Be sure to give the buyer this
Operator’s Manual.
Warning! G
Accident research shows that the safest
place for children in an automobile is in
the rear seat.
There is a possibility for a side impact air-
bag related injury if occupants, especially
children, are not properly seated or re-
strained when next to a front side impact
airbag and/or rear side impact airbag
which needs to deploy rapidly in a side im-
pact in order to do its job.
To help avoid the possibility of injury,
please follow these guidelines:
(1) Occupants, especially children, should
never place their bodies or lean their
heads in the area of the door where
the front side impact airbag and/or the
rear side impact airbag inflates. This
could result in serious injuries or death
should the front side impact airbag
and/or the rear side impact airbag be
deployed.
