Steering wheel
Points to remember
Depending on the vehicle equipment, you can adjust the steering wheel either manually or electrically*.
 | Risk of injury |
|
The electrically adjustable steering wheel* can be adjusted when the key is removed from the ignition lock. Therefore, do not leave children unsupervised in the vehicle as they could become trapped as the steering wheel is adjusted.
|
| 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.
The steerability of the vehicle is however 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
Easy-entry/exit feature*
The easy-entry/exit feature makes getting in and out of your vehicle easier.
The steering wheel swings upwards when you:
The steering wheel is moved automatically to the position previously set when the key is inserted into the ignition lock with the driver's door closed.
| Risk of injury |
|
Make sure that nobody can become trapped when you activate the easy-entry/exit feature.
If there is a risk of becoming trapped, stop the adjustment procedure. To halt the procedure:
The steering column stops moving immediately.
Never leave children unsupervised in the vehicle. They could open the driver's door and thereby unintentionally activate the easy-entry feature and become trapped.
|
The most recent position of the steering wheel is stored when you switch off the ignition or when you store a memory position more.
You can activate and deactivate the easy-entry/exit feature via the on-board computer more.
