Safety
Seat belts must be worn on every journey, even on short trips
in town. This applies to the front and rear seats.
To ensure that the seat belts, belt tensioners
and airbags are fully effective, please note
the following points:
Wear the seat belt correctly
Make sure that the shoulder section of
the belt is positioned over the centre of
the shoulder and move the lap section as
far down over the hips as possible. The belts
should always be worn so that they fit tightly
(see illustration).
Children under 12 should travel on the rear seat. They must be protected by a child restraint system
which complies with the European standard ECE-R 44 and is suitable for the child’s height and weight.
The safest place for the child restraint system is behind the front passenger’s seat.
Please follow the instructions in the Owner’s Manual and read
the instructions provided by the child seat manufacturer.
The front seats should not be positioned too close to
the steering wheel or dashboard. Maintain
WARNING!
Up/down
Adjust seat and sit in correct position
a distance of at least 25 cm and sit
in a normal upright position. The top
of the head restraint should be at
eye level or higher. Always keep
your feet in the footwell.
