The safety equipment mentioned above works
together to provide you and your passengers

equipment properly.
Safety is everybody's business.

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 spe-
cial devices. The seat belt and airbag can only
provide optimum protection if a correct sitting
position is adopted. SEAT 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, SEAT recommend the
following positions:
Valid for all vehicle occupants:
●
Adjust the head restraint so that its upper
edge is, as far as possible, at the same level
as the top of your head, as close to eye level
as possible ›››page123. Keep the back of
your neck as close as possible to the headrest
›››Fig.17.

completely, even if your head is below its upper
edge.

Always keep your feet in the footwell while
the vehicle is in motion.
