Front seats

Seat position

{Warning
Only drive with the seat correctly
adjusted.
 Sit with your buttocks as far back
against the backrest as possible.
Adjust the distance between the
seat and the pedals so that your
legs are slightly angled when
tromping the pedals. Slide the
passenger seat as far back as
possible.
 Sit with your shoulders as far
back against the backrest as
possible. Set the backrest angle
so that you can easily reach the
steering wheel with your arms
slightly bent. Maintain contact
between your shoulders and the
backrest when turning the
steering wheel. Do not tilt the
backrest too far back. We
recommend a maximum angle of
approx. 25.
 Adjust the steering wheel. See
MD028
Steering wheel adjustment on
page 87.

head and the headlining. Your
thighs should rest lightly on the
seat without pressing into it.
 Adjust the head restraint. See
Head restraints on page 45.
 Adjust the height of the safety
belt. See "Height adjustment"
under Three-point safety belts on
