WARNING
• You must not adjust the steering wheel when the vehicle is
moving!
• The driver must maintain a distance of at least 25 cm to the
steering wheel ⇒ fig. 128. Not maintaining this minimum distance
will mean that the airbag system will not be able to properly protect
you - hazard!
• For safety reasons the lever must always be firmly pushed up to
avoid the steering wheel altering its position unintentionally when
driving - risk of accident!
• If you adjust the steering wheel further towards the head, you
will reduce the protection offered by the driver airbag in the event
of an accident. Check that the steering wheel is aligned to the
chest.
• When driving, hold the steering wheel with both hands firmly on
the outer edge in the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock position. Never hold
the steering wheel firmly in the 12 o'clock position or in another
