Seats Important safety notes G WARNING The seats can still be adjusted when there is no key in the ignition lock. For this reason, children should never be left unsupervised in the vehicle. They could adjust the seats and become trapped. G WARNING Only adjust the driver's seat when the vehicle is stationary. You will otherwise be distracted from the road and traffic conditions and you could lose control of the vehicle as a result of the seat moving. This could cause an acci- dent. G WARNING If you adjust the seat height carelessly, you or others could be trapped and thereby injured. Children in particular could unintentionally press the buttons to electrically adjust the seats and become trapped. Take care that: Rwhile moving the seats, your hands do not
get under the lever assembly of the seat adjustment system.
Rchildren in the vehicle do not slide their
hands under the levers. G WARNING Make sure that nobody can become trapped when adjusting the seats. Observe the notes on airbags. Secure children as recommended; see the "Children in the vehicle" section. G WARNING Make sure that the back of your head is sup- ported at eye level by the central area of the head restraint. If your head is not supported correctly by the head restraint, you could suf- fer a severe neck injury in the event of an
accident. Never drive if the head restraints are not engaged and set correctly. G WARNING A seat belt can only offer its intended degree of protection when the backrest is almost ver- tical and the occupant is sitting upright. Avoid seat positions that do not allow the seat belt to be routed correctly. Adjust the backrest so that it is as upright as possible. Never travel with the backrest reclined too far backwards. You could otherwise be seriously or even fatally injured in the event of an accident or sudden braking.
! To avoid damage to the seats and the seat heating, observe the following information: Rdo not spill any liquids on the seats. If
liquid is spilled on the seats, dry them as soon as possible.
Rif the seat covers are damp or wet, do not
switch on the seat heating. The seat heating should also not be used to dry the seats.
Rclean the seat covers as recommended;
see "Interior care".
Rdo not transport heavy loads on the
seats. Do not place sharp objects on the seat cushions, e.g. knives, nails or tools. The seats should only be occupied by passengers, if possible.
Rwhen the seat heating is in operation, do not cover the seats with insulating mate- rials, e.g. blankets, coats, bags, seat cov- ers, child seats or booster seats.
! Make sure that there are no objects in the footwell or behind the seats when moving the seat back. There is a risk that the seats and/or the objects could be damaged.
