el as the top of your head and under no cir-
cumstances below eye level. Keep the back
of your neck as close as possible to the
headrest

●
Short people must lower the head restraint

per edge.
●
Tall people must raise the head restraint
completely.
●
Always keep your feet in the footwell while
the vehicle is in motion.

For the driver, the following applies:
●

right position so that your back rests com-
pletely against it.

Adjust the steering wheel so that it is at a
distance of at least 25 cm (10 inches) from

Fig. 2 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.
●

fully step on the pedals with your knees
slightly bent and there is a distance between
the knee area and the instrument panel of at
least 10 cm (4 inches)

●
Adjust the height of the seat so that you
can reach the top of the steering wheel.
●
Always keep both feet in the footwell so
that you have the vehicle under control at all
times.
For the passenger, the following applies:
●
Move the seat backrest to an almost up-
right position so that your back rests com-
pletely against it.
●
Move the seat as far back as possible (mini-
mum 25 cm between the chest and the in-
strument panel check translation). If you are
sitting closer than 25 cm, the airbag system
cannot protect you properly.
Number of seats
The vehicle has 4 seats, 2 in the fr
ont and 2 in
the r
ear. All seats are equipped with a safety
belt.
WARNING
Sitting in an incorrect position may in-
crease the risk of se
vere or lethal injuries in
the event of sudden braking or manoeu-
vring, in case of collision or accident and if
the airbags deploy.
●
Befor
e starting the car, all passengers
must be sitting in a correct position and
stay like that for the entire journey. This al-
so applies to a correct use of the seat belt.
●
The maximum amount of people in the
vehicle is the same as the amount of seats
with seat belts.
●
For children, always use a certified pro-
tection system, certified and suited for their
weight and height

●
While driving, always keep your feet in
the footwell. Never place them over the
seat or the instrument panel, for example,
or outside the window. Otherwise the air-
bag and seat belt may offer insufficient
protection and also increase the risk of in-
jury in the event of an accident.
Risks due to sitting in an incorrect
position
If seat belts are worn incorrectly or not at all,
the risk of se
v
ere or lethal injuries increases.
Seat belts can provide optimal protection on-
ly if the belt web is properly worn. Incorrect
sitting positions substantially reduce the pro-
tective function of seat belts and, therefore,
increase the risk of severe or even lethal inju-
ries. The risk of severe or fatal injuries is espe-
cially heightened when a deploying airbag
strikes a vehicle occupant who has assumed
an incorrect sitting position. The driver is
