Safe driving
●
Adjust the driver seat so that there is a
dist
ance of at least 25 cm (10 inches) be-
tween the centre of your chest and the hub
of the steering wheel. Adjust the driver seat
so that you are able to press the accelera-
tor, brake and clutch pedals to the floor
with your knees slightly angled and that
the distance between your knees and the
dash panel is at least 10 cm (4 inches). If
your physical constitution prevents you
from meeting these requirements, contact
a specialised workshop to make any modi-
fications 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 in-
jury 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
steering 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 air-
bag or very close to it.
●
If passengers on the rear seats are not
sitting in an upright position, the risk of se-
vere injury due to incorrect positioning of
the belt web increases.
WARNING
Incorrect seat adjustment may lead to ac-
cidents and sever
e 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. Fur-
thermore, an incorrect position is adopted
when adjusting the seat.
●
Only adjust the height, seat backrest and
forwards or backwards position of the seat
when there is nobody in the seat adjust-
ment 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 no-
body is in the way.
●
The seat adjustment and lock areas must
be kept clean.
Pedal area
P
edal
s
Do not allow floor mats or other objects to
obstruct the fr
ee passage of the pedal
s.
Fl
oor 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 pre
vent use of the pedals. This could
lead the driver to lose control of the vehi-
cle, increasing the risk of a serious acci-
dent.
●
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
driver's footwell while the vehicle is in mo-
tion.
CAUTION
The pedals must always have free and un-
obstructed passage to the fl
oor. For exam-
ple, in case of a fault in the brake circuit,
the brake pedal will need to be pressed fur-
ther to stop the vehicle. To press the brake
pedal down further will require more force
than usual.
