Adjusting the front seat electrically
WARNING Risk of becoming trapped if the seats are adjusted by children

Children could become trapped if they adjust the seats, particularly when unattended.

When leaving the vehicle, always take the key with you and lock the vehicle.
Never leave children unattended in the vehicle.

The seats can be adjusted when there is no key in the ignition lock.

WARNING Risk of accident due to adjusting vehicle settings while the vehicle is in motion
You could lose control of the vehicle in the following situations in particular:
  • If you adjust the driver's seat, the head restraints, the steering wheel or the mirror while the vehicle is in motion.

  • If you fasten your seat belt while the vehicle is in motion.

Before starting the engine: adjust the driver's seat, the head restraints, the steering wheel and the mirror and fasten your seat belt.
WARNING Risk of becoming trapped during seat adjustment

When you adjust a seat, you or other vehicle occupants could become trapped, e.g. on the seat guide rail.

Make sure when adjusting a seat that no one has any body parts in the sweep of the seat.
WARNING Risk of injury or death due to the front seat being positioned too close to the cockpit

The front airbags can also injure the occupants in the front of the vehicle.

Always adjust the front seats so they are as far away as possible from the front airbags.
In addition, observe the notes on correct seat adjustment.
WARNING Risk of injury or death due to an incorrect seat position

The seat belt does not offer the intended level of protection if you have not moved the seat backrest to an almost vertical position.

You could slip beneath the seat belt and injure yourself.

Adjust the seat properly before commencing your journey.
Always ensure that the seat backrest is in an almost vertical position and that the shoulder belt is routed across the centre of your shoulder.
WARNING Risk of injury due to head restraints not being fitted or being adjusted incorrectly

If head restraints have not been installed or have not been adjusted correctly, there is an increased risk of injury in the head and neck area, e.g. in the event of an accident or when braking.

Always drive with the head restraints fitted.
Before driving off, make sure for every vehicle occupant that the centre of the head restraint supports the back of the head at about eye level.
WARNING Risk of burns from hot amplifiers under the driver's seat

Vehicles with amplifiers under the driver's seat:

The amplifier can become hot during operation.

You could burn yourself if you touch the amplifier.

Do not reach underneath the driver's seat.
Adjust the driver's seat carefully.
NOTE Damage to the seats and the seat heating due to fluids, sharp objects or insulating materials

To avoid damage to the seats or seat heating, take the following steps:

Do not spill any fluids onto the seats. If something does get spilt onto the seats, dry the seats as quickly as possible.
If the seat covers are moist or wet, do not switch the seat heating on. Do not use the seat heating to dry the seats.
Clean the seats as recommended. See the "Cleaning and care" section.
Do not transport any heavy loads on the seats. Do not place any sharp objects such as knives, nails or tools on the seats. Use the seats only for people if possible.
While the seat heating is in operation, do not cover the seats with insulating materials such as blankets, coats, bags, protective covers, child seats or booster seats.
Requirements:
  • The ignition is switched on or the door is open.

Head restraint height adjustment
Seat backrest inclination adjustment

Vehicles with PRE-SAFE®: if PRE-SAFE® intervenes, the front passenger seat will automatically be adjusted from a less favourable position into one which offers better protection. The front passenger seat can be readjusted only after the hazardous situation is over. Information about the system can be found under "PRE-SAFE®" More.

You can save the settings for the seats with the memory function More.
