WARNING (continued)
Safety
Adjust the driver seat or steering wheel so that there is a distance of at
least 25 cm between the steering wheel and your breast bone page 127,
Electronic stabilisation programme (ESP)*
fig. 94. If you fail to observe the minimum distance, the airbag will not
protect you. Risk of fatal injury.
ESP helps make driving safer in certain situations.
If your physical constitution prevents you from maintaining the
minimum distance of 25 cm, contact an Authorised Service Centre. The
Authorised Service Centre will help you decide if special specific modifica-
tions are necessary.
If you adjust the steering wheel so that it points towards your face, the
driver airbag will not protect you properly in the event of an accident. Make
sure that the steering wheel points towards your chest.
When driving, always hold the steering wheel with both hands on the
outside of the ring at the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock positions. Never hold the
steering wheel at the 12 o'clock position, or in any other manner (e.g. in
the centre of the steering wheel, or on the inside of the rim). In such cases,
you could receive severe injuries to the arms, hands and head.

The Electronic Stabilisation Program (ESP) contains the electronic differential

conjunction with the ABS. Both warning lamps will light up if the ESP or ABS
