Orthopedic Seat Backrest

Some models may be equipped with
orthopedic seats. These seats have
an inflatable air cushion built into
the backrest to provide additional
spinal cord support. The amount of
cushion height and curvature may
be adjusted after turning the key in
steering lock to position "2".

The inflation pressure of the air
cushion may be continuously varied
between position "0" = without
pressure, and position "4" =
maximum pressure, by changing the
pressure regulator (1) setting.
In addition, the cushion height may
be changed to five different settings
between position "A" = lowest
setting, and "E" = highest setting, by
varying the height regulator (2)
adjustment.
If a driving trip is temporarily inter­
rupted, the last cushion setting is
retained in memory, and auto­
matically adjusts the cushion to this
setting when the trip is continued.

Arm Rest (Rear Seat)

An arm rest is provided in the rear
seat which can be pulled out with
the loop.
For the removal of the rear seat
cushion see "Practical Hints".
