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,

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.
