Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Adjusting the front seats
Head restraints - adjusting height
Headrests - removing and installing
The driver's seat should be adjusted in such a way that the pedals can be fully
pressed to the floor with slightly bent legs.
The seat backrest on the driver's seat should be adjusted in such a way that
the upper point of the steering wheel can be easily reached with slightly bent
arms.
Correct adjustment of the seats is particularly important for the following:
›
Reaching the controls safely and quickly,
›
A relaxed and fatigue-free body position.
›
Achieving the maximum protection offered by the seat belts and the airbag
system.
WARNING
Only adjust the driver's seat when the vehicle is stationary – risk of acci-
■
dent!
Caution when adjusting the seat! You may suffer injuries or bruises as a
■
result of adjusting the seat without paying proper attention.
Never carry more people than the number of seats in the vehicle.
■
Do not carry any objects on the front passenger seat, except objects de-
■
signed for this purpose (e.g. child seats) – risk of accident!
