Rear head restraints
–
The rear head restraints have 2 positions:
use
and
non-use
.
–
One position for use (head restraint raised)

sengers along with the rear seat belts.

And one position for non-use (head re-
straint lowered).

To fit the head restraints in position for use,
pull on the edges with both hands in the
direction of the arrow.

passengers travel while the head restraints
are in the non-use position. See the warning

Pedal area
Pedals
–
Ensure that you can always press the accel-
erator, brake and clutch pedals unimpaired
to the floor.
–
Ensure that the pedals can return unim-
paired to their initial positions.
–
Ensure that the floor mats are securely fas-
tened during the trip and do not obstruct
the pedals
›››
.
Only use floor mats which leave the pedal
area free and can be secured to prevent them
from slipping. You can obtain suitable floor
mats from a specialised dealership. Fasten-
ers* for floor mats are fitted in the footwells.
If a brake circuit fails, the brake pedal must
be pressed down thoroughly in order to stop
the vehicle.
Wearing suitable shoes
Always wear shoes which support your feet
properly and give you a good feeling for the
pedals.
WARNING
●
Restricting pedal operation can lead to crit-
ical situations while driving.
●
Never lay or fit floor mats or other floor cov-
erings over the original floor mats. This
would reduce the pedal area and could ob-
struct the pedals. Risk of accident.
●
Never place objects in the driver footwell.
An object could move into the pedal area and
impair pedal operation. In the event of a sud-
den driving or braking manoeuvre, you will
not be able to operate the brake, clutch or ac-
celerator pedal. Risk of accident!
