Safe driving
between your knees and the dash panel is at
lea
st 10 cm (4 inches). If your physical consti-
tution prevents you from meeting these re-
quirements, contact a specialised workshop
to make any modifications required.
Never drive with the seat backrest tilted far
back. The further the seat backrests are tilted
to the rear, the greater the risk of injury due
to incorrect positioning of the belt web or to
the incorrect sitting position!
Never drive with the seat backrest tilted
forwards. Should a front airbag deploy, it
could throw the seat backrest backwards and
injure the passengers of the rear seats.
Sit as far away as possible from the steer-
ing wheel and the dash panel.
Keep your back straight and resting com-
pletely against the seat backrest and the
front seats correctly adjusted. Never place
any part of your body in the area of the airbag
or very close to it.
If passengers on the rear seats are not sit-
ting in an upright position, the risk of severe
injury due to incorrect positioning of the belt
web increases.
WARNING
Incorrect seat adjustment may lead to acci-
dents and sev
ere injuries.
Only adjust the seats when the vehicle is
stationary, as the seats could move unex-
pectedly while the vehicle is in motion and
you could lose control of the vehicle. Further-
more, an incorrect position is adopted when
adjus
ting the seat.
Only adjust the height, seat backrest and
forwards or backwards position of the seat
when there is nobody in the seat adjustment
area.
There must be no objects blocking the seat
adjustment area.
Only adjust the height, angle and longitu-
dinal position of the rear seats when nobody
is in the way.
The seat adjustment and lock areas must
be kept clean.
Pedal area
P
ed
a
ls
Do not allow floor mats or other objects to
o
b
s
truct the free passage of the pedals.
Floor mats should leave the pedal area free
and unobstructed and be correctly secured in
the footwell zone.
In the event of failure of a brake circuit, the
brake pedal must be pressed harder than
normal to brake the vehicle.
WARNING
Objects falling into the driver's footwell could
prevent
use of the pedals. This could lead the
driver to lose control of the vehicle, increas-
ing the risk
of a serious accident.
Make sure the pedals can be used at all
times, with no objects rolling underneath
them.
Always secure the mat in the footwell.
Never place other mats or rugs on top of
the original mat supplied by the factory.
Ensure that no objects can fall into the driv-
er's footwell while the vehicle is in motion.
CAUTION
The pedals must always have free and unob-
structed p
assage to the floor. For example, in
case of a fault in the brake circuit, the brake
pedal will need to be pressed further to stop
the vehicle. To press the brake pedal down
further will require more force than usual.
