The driver's seat position must allow the vehicle to be driven safely. The driver's arms must be slightly bent when holding the steering wheel. The driver must maintain a distance from the pedals that allows him to depress these fully. Choose a seat position that is as far as possible from the front airbag but nevertheless allows you to maintain control of the car reliably. Vehicle occupants should always wear their seat belt correctly and posi tion their backrest as close to the vertical as possible. The head re straint should support the back of your head at about eye level. Position the front passenger seat as far back as possible, particularly if children wearing child restraint systems* are secured to it. Excluding the smart baby carrier, do not secure rearward facing child seats on the passenger seat, as doing so will not disable the passenger front airbag. Forward facing child restraint systems may only be fitted to the front passenger seat if it is moved to its rearmost position.
