The safety equipment mentioned above works
together to provide you and your passengers
with the best possible protection in the event
of an accident. However, these safety systems
can only be eective if you and your passen-
gers are sitting in a correct position and use this
equipment properly.
Safety is everybody's business.
Correct sitting position of
vehicle occupants
Correct position on the seat
Fig.21 The corr
ect distance between the
driver and the steering wheel must be at least
25 cm (10 inches).
The correct sitting positions for the driver and
passengers ar
e 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 e
vent of an accident or sudden
braking or manoeuvre, SEAT recommend the
following positions:
Valid for all vehicle occupants:
●
Adjust the headrest so that its upper edge is
at the same level as the top of your head, or as
close as possible to the same level as the top of
your head and under no circumstances below
eye level . Keep the back of your neck as close
as possible to the headrest.
●
Short people must fully lower the headrest
completely, even if your head is below its upper
edge.
●
Tall people must fully raise the headrest.
●
Always keep your feet in the footwell while
the vehicle is in motion.
●
Adjust and fasten your seat belt correctly
›››page46.
The following also applies to the driver:
●
Move the seat backrest to an almost upright
position so that your back rests completely
against it.
●
Adjust the steering wheel so that it is at a
distance of at least 25 cm (10 inches) from the
sternum ›››Fig.21 and can hold it with both
hands on the sides, on the outside, with the
arms slightly flexed.
●
The steering wheel must always point to-
wards the chest and never towards the face.
