Seats

Points to remember

Risk of injury

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 become trapped when adjusting a seat.

Risk of accident

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 accident.

Risk of injury

Make sure that nobody can become trapped when you adjust the seat.

Observe the notes concerning the airbag system.

Secure children as recommended; see "Children in the vehicle" section.

When you move the seats, make sure that there are no objects in the footwell or behind the seats. Otherwise, you could damage the seats and the objects.

The head restraints cannot be removed.

You could seriously injure your neck if your head is not correctly supported by the head restraint in the event of an accident. Never travel without a correctly adjusted and engaged head restraint.

  

Slide the button up or down in the direction of arrow .

The head restraint height is automatically adjusted relative to the seat fore-and-aft adjustment.

When the key is in position 1 or 2 in the ignition lock, the front-passenger seat head restraint is lowered, if:

  • the front-passenger seat belt is not engaged

  • no occupant is detected on the front-passenger seat

  • the vehicle is stationary

When the key is in position 1 or 2 in the ignition lock, the front-passenger seat head restraint moves back to the original position if the front-passenger seat belt is engaged or an occupant is detected on the front-passenger seat.

To ensure the largest possible range of seat settings, certain seat adjustment functions will automatically activate other seat adjustment functions.

Adjusting the front-passenger seat from the driver’s seat

Risk of injury

When adjusting a front-passenger seat that is occupied, make sure that it is as far away from the front-passenger airbag as possible. The front passenger could otherwise sustain serious or fatal injuries in the event of an accident or braking manoeuvre.

Make sure that nobody can become trapped when adjusting the seat.

The front-passenger seat can 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 become trapped if the seats move.

You can use the seat switches on the driver's side to adjust the front-passenger seat.

  • seat adjustment

  • operating the seat heating/ventilation*

Seat release lever

In order to make it convenient for passengers to get in and out of the rear compartment, the front seat:

  • is automatically moved forwards when the backrest is folded forwards

  • is automatically moved backwards when the backrest is folded back

The head restraint is lowered automatically when the seat release lever is pulled.

Risk of injury

Make sure that nobody can become trapped when moving the seat. If there is a risk of someone becoming trapped, press the seat adjustment switch on the door.

Make sure that there are no objects in the footwell or behind the seats when adjusting the seats. You could otherwise damage the seats and the objects.

Rear seats

Head restraints in the rear compartment

Risk of injury
