Information
WARNING
Seat adjustments while driving can lead
to unexpected movements of the seat. Vehicle
control could be lost. There is risk of an acci‐
dent. Only adjust the seat on the driver's side
when the vehicle is stationary.◀

rear, the protective effect of the safety belt
cannot be ensured anymore. There is a danger
of sliding under the safety belt in an accident.
There is a risk of injury or danger to life. Adjust
the seat prior to starting the trip. Adjust the
backrest so that it is in the most upright posi‐
tion as possible and do not adjust again while
driving.◀
WARNING
There is risk of jamming when moving the
seats. There is a risk of injury or risk of property
damage. Make sure that the area of movement
of the seat is clear prior to any adjustment.◀
