Power Seats - Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Owner's Manual

Power Seats

The switches are located in each front
door.
Turn key in steering lock to position 1
or 2 (with either door open, the power
seats can also be operated with the key
removed or in steering lock position 0).
Warning!
Do not adjust the driver's seat
while driving. Adjusting the seat
while driving could cause the
driver to lose control of the vehicle.
Adjusting
A Seat cushion
B Backrest
C Head restraint (with shoulder belt
height adjustment)
Adjust the head restraint so that the
upper portion of the shoulder belt is
located as close as possible to the
middle of the shoulder. The head
restraint can be tilted forward by hand.
Note:
To prevent the backrest from touching
the soft top storage compartment cover
when the seat cushion is moved back,
the backrest will automatically move to
a more upright position. When
reclining the backrest, the seat cushion
will automatically move forward to
prevent the backrest from touching the
soft top storage compartment cover.
Warning!
Never ride in a moving vehicle with
the seat back reclined. Sitting in an
excessively reclined position can be
dangerous. You could slide under the
seat belt in a collision, if you slide
under it, the belt would apply force
at the abdomen or neck. That could
cause serious or even fatal injuries.
In a normal seated position the belts
provide the best restraint for the
wearer, as they are only then
properly located on the body.
The rear storage area should never
be occupied by passengers since the
vehicle is a 2 seater.
Furthermore, there is a risk of
injury in the rear by adjusting the
power assisted front seats.
