Adjustment
/!\
Warning!
The seat may move unexpectedly if you at-
tempt to adjust while driving. This could
cause sudden loss of control or personal in-
jury.
[> Do not adjust seats while the vehicle is in mo-
tion.
The backrest locks must be engaged at all
times while the vehicle is in motion.
In the Cabriolet, the windstop may be dam-
aged during seat adjustment and when fold-
ing back the front-seat backrests.

Adjust seat so that the seat backrest does
not touch the windstop.
Safety belts only offer protection when the
backrest is upright and the belts are
properly positioned on the body.
Improperly positioned safety belts can

Seat
position
A correct sitting position is important for safe
and fatigue-free driving.
We recommend the following procedure for
adjusting the driver's seat to suit individual
requirements:
1. Adjust the seat height to give yourself
enough headroom and a good overview of
the vehicle.
2. Adjust the seat until, with the accelerator
pedal fully depressed, your leg is straight but
your entire foot still rests on the accelerator
pedal.
3. Grip the top half of the steering wheel.
Set the backrest angle and steering-wheel
position so that your arms are almost
outstretched. However, your shoulders must
still rest on the backrest.
4. If necessary, correct the seat fore-and-aft
adjustment.
