Adjustment of Driver's Seat and
Front Passenger Seat
Fore/aft adjustment: lift handle (1);
slide seat to desired position and
allow handle to re-engage.
Height of seat: raise lever (2);
to raise seat, slide seat forward;
to lower seat, slide seat backward;
allow lever to re-engage.
Seat back position: turn handwheel
(3). For full reclining of backrest, seat
should be moved to one of the
forward-most positions and headrest
removed. For driving, return backrest
to upright position and push seat
back. Replace headrest.
Note:
Prior to operating the vehicle, the
driver should adjust the seat height
for proper vision as well as fore/aft
placement and seat back angle to
insure adequate control, reach, oper­
ation, and comfort. Be certain seat is
" locked in" by sliding front/rear until
full engagement is assured.
The headrest should also be adjusted
for proper height so that when the
cushion is tipped completely forward,
it should form a cradle behind the
seat occupant's head. Both the inside
and outside rear view mirrors should
then be adjusted for adequate rear­
ward vision. Fasten seat belts. Chil­
dren under the age of six or under the
weight of 23 kg/50 lb should be
seated in the back seat with an
approved restraint system properly
secured.
All seat, head restraint, and rear view
mirror adjustments as well as fasten­
ing of seat belts should only be
accomplished before the vehicle is
put into motion.
Coupe: For safety, when the doors
are closed the backrests are locked
by means of vacuum. The locks can
be released by pushing button (4).
When the doors are opened the
backrests can be folded forward
without pushing the button (4).
