Steering wheel

Risk of accident

Only adjust the steering wheel when the vehicle is stationary and do not pull away until the steering wheel adjustment mechanism is locked in position. You might otherwise drive without the steering wheel adjustment mechanism being locked in position. As a result you could be distracted from road and traffic conditions by an unexpected movement of the steering wheel and thereby cause an accident.

However, the steerability of the vehicle is not affected.

When you adjust the steering wheel, make sure that:

  • the steering wheel can be reached with your arms slightly bent

  • you can move your legs freely

  • you can see all the displays in the instrument cluster clearly
