Danger of injuries due to an incor-

Number of seats

has a t
otal of five or seven seats. Each seat is
equipped with a seat belt.

If the seat belts are worn incorrectly or not at
all, the risk of se
v
er
e injuries increases. Seat
belts can provide optimal protection only if
the belt web is properly worn. Being seated in
an incorrect position means the seat belt
cannot offer its full protection. This could re-
sult in severe and even fatal injuries. The risk
of severe or fatal injuries is especially height-
ened when a deploying airbag strikes a vehi-
cle occupant who has assumed an incorrect
sitting position. The driver is responsible for all
passengers in the vehicle, particularly chil-
dren.
The following list shows just some examples
of incorrect sitting positions which can be
dangerous to all vehicle occupants.
Whenever the vehicle is in motion:
●
Never stand in the vehicle.
●
Never stand on the seats.
●
Never kneel on the seats.
●
Never tilt your seat backrest too far to the
rear.
●
Never lean against the dash panel.
●
Never lie on the rear bench.
●
Never sit on the front edge of a seat.
●
Never sit sideways.
●
Never lean out of a window.
●
Never put your feet out of a window.
●
Never put your feet on the dash panel.
●
Never put your feet on the surface of a seat
or seat backrest.
●
Never travel in a footwell.
●
Never sit on the armrests.
●
Never travel on a seat without wearing the
seat belt.
●
Never carry any person in the luggage
compartment.
WARNING
An incorrect sitting position in the vehicle
can lead to se
vere injuries or death in the
event of sudden braking or manoeuvres,
collision or accidents or if the airbag de-
ploys.
●
Before the vehicle moves, assume the
proper sitting position and maintain it
throughout the trip. This also includes fas-
tening the seat belt.
●
Never transport more people than there
are seats with a seat belt available in the
vehicle.
●
Children must always be protected with
an approved child restraint system suited
to their height and weight

●
Always keep your feet in the footwell
while the vehicle is in motion. Never, for ex-
ample, put your feet on the surface of a
seat or on the dash panel and never put
them out of a window. Otherwise the airbag
and seat belt offer insufficient protection
and the risk of injury in the event of an acci-
dent is increased.
WARNING
Before every trip, adjust the seat, the seat
belt and the head restraints and instruct
your passengers t
o fasten their seat belts
properly.
●
Move the front passenger seat back as
far as possible.
