Adjustments
Sitting safely The ideal sitting position can make a vital con- tribution to relaxed, fatigue-free driving. In the interaction with the safety belts, the head restraints and the airbags, the seat position plays an important role in an accident. To ensure that the safety systems operate with optimal efficiency, we strongly urge you to observe the instructions contained in the fol- lowing section. For additional information on transporting chil- dren safely, refer to page 54.
Airbags
Always maintain an adequate distance between yourself and the airbags. Always hold the steering wheel by its rim with hands at the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock positions, to mini- mize the risk of injuries to your hands and arms in the event of airbag deployment. No one and nothing is to come between the air- bags and the seat occupant. Do not use the cover of the front airbag on the front passenger side as a storage area. Make sure that the front passenger is sitting correctly and does not rest feet or legs on the instrument panel, otherwise leg injuries can occur if the front airbag is triggered. Make sure that occupants do not rest their head on the side or head airbag, otherwise injuries can occur if the airbags are triggered.< Even if you adhere to all the instructions, inju- ries resulting from contact with airbags cannot be fully excluded, depending on the circum- stances. The ignition and inflation noise may provoke a mild hearing loss in extremely sensi- tive individuals. This effect is usually only tem- porary. For airbag locations and additional information on airbags, refer to page 94.
Head restraints A correctly adjusted head restraint reduces the risk of spinal injury in the event of an accident.
Adjust the head restraint so that its center is approx. at ear level. Otherwise there is
increased danger of injury in the event of an accident.< Head restraints, refer to page 48.
Safety belts Before every drive, make sure that safety belts are being worn at all of the occupied seats. Air- bags complement the safety belt as an addi- tional safety device, but they do not represent a substitute. Your vehicle is provided with five seats, which are all equipped with a safety belt.
Never allow more than one person to wear a single safety belt. Never allow
infants or small children to ride in a passenger's lap. Make sure that the belt lies low around the hips in the lap area and does not press on the abdomen. The safety belt may not lie across the neck, rub on sharp edges, be routed over solid or breakable objects or be pinched. Wear the safety belt without twisting, snugly across the lap and shoulders, as close to the body as pos- sible. Otherwise the belt can slip over the hips in the lap area in a frontal impact and injure the abdomen. Avoid wearing clothing that prevents the belt from fitting properly and pull the belt in the upper body area periodically to readjust the tension, in order to avoid a reduction in the restraint of the safety belt. Sports Wagon: if the middle safety belt in the rear is used, the larger seatback half must be locked, refer to page 117, otherwise the middle safety belt has no restraining action.< Safety belts, refer to page 49.

Seats
Note before adjusting
Never attempt to adjust your seat while the vehicle is moving. The seat could
respond with unexpected movement, and the ensuing loss of vehicle control could lead to an accident. Also on the passenger side, do not incline the backrest too far to the rear while the vehicle is being driven, otherwise there is a danger in the event of an accident of sliding under the safety belt, eliminating the protection normally pro- vided by the belt.< Please observe the information on damage to safety belts provided on page 50 and the infor- mation on the active front head restraints* on page 49.
