WARNING  
Incorrect use of the steering wheel adjuster and an incorrect steering wheel adjustment could cause serious or fatal injuries.  
Always push the lever fig. 74  
upward into its locked position after adjusting so that you do not change the steering wheel position unintentionally while  
driving.  
Never adjust the steering wheel while driving. If you find the steering wheel must be adjusted while driving, stop the vehicle safely and adjust the steering  
wheel correctly.  
The steering wheel must always face toward the chest and never toward the face. Otherwise, the protective function of the driver’s front airbag may be  
limited in the event of an accident.  
To reduce the risk of injuries if the driver's front airbag deploys, always hold the outer edge of the steering wheel firmly with both hands in the nine o'clock  
and three o'clock position fig. 75.  
Never hold the steering wheel in the twelve o'clock position or in any other way, such as holding the center of the steering wheel. Otherwise, the arms,  
hands, and head could be seriously injured if the driver’s front airbag deploys.
