Controls in detail Seats G Warning! Your seat must be adjusted so that you can correctly fasten your seat belt. Observe the following points: RAdjust the seat backrest until your arms are slightly angled when holding the steering wheel. RAdjust the seat to a comfortable seating position that still allows you to reach the accelerator/brake pedal safely. The position should be as far back as possible with the driver still able to operate the controls properly. RAdjust the head restraint so that it is as close to the head as possible and the center of the head restraint supports the back of the head at eye level. RNever place hands under the seat or near any moving parts while a seat is being adjusted. Failure to do so could result in an accident and/or serious personal injury. G Warning! The power seats can be operated at any time. Therefore, do not leave children unattended in the vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle. A child's unsupervised access to a vehicle could result in an accident and/or serious personal injury. Seat adjustment ! When moving the seats, make sure there are no items in the footwell or behind the seats. Otherwise, you could damage the seats. Power seat G Warning! According to accident statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seating positions than in the front seating position. Thus, we strongly recommend that children be placed in the rear seats whenever possible. Regardless of seating position, children 12 years old and under must be seated and properly secured in an appropriately sized infant restraint, toddler restraint, or booster seat recommended for the size and weight of the child. For additional information, see "Children in the vehicle". A child's risk of serious or fatal injuries is significantly increased if the child restraints are not properly secured in the vehicle and/or the child is not properly secured in the child restraint. 1 Head restraint height 2 Seat cushion tilt 3 Seat height 4 Seat fore and aft adjustment 5 Seat backrest tilt i The memory function (Y page 93) lets you store the settings for the seat position together with the settings for the steering wheel and the exterior rear view mirrors.
