Front seats

Seat position

9 Warning
Only drive with the seat correctly
adjusted.
● Sit with buttocks as far back
against the backrest as possible.
Adjust the distance between the
seat and the pedals so that legs
are slightly angled when pressing
the pedals. Slide the front
passenger seat as far back as
possible.
● Sit with shoulders as far back
against the backrest as possible.
Set the backrest rake so that it is
possible to easily reach the
steering wheel with arms slightly
bent. Maintain contact between
shoulders and the backrest when
turning the steering wheel. Do
not angle the backrest too far
back. We recommend a
maximum rake of approx. 25°.
● Adjust the steering wheel 3 97.
● Set seat height high enough to
have a clear field of vision on all
sides and of all display
instruments. There should be at
least one hand of clearance
between head and the roof
frame. Your thighs should rest
lightly on the seat without
pressing into it.
● Adjust the head restraint 3 36.
● Adjust the height of the seat belt
3 51.
● Adjust the thigh support so that
there is a space approx. two
fingers wide between the edge of
the seat and the hollow of the
knee.
● Adjust the lumbar support so that
it supports the natural shape of
the spine.

Seat adjustment

Drive only with engaged seats and
backrests.
9 Danger
Do not sit nearer than 25 cm from
the steering wheel, to permit safe
airbag deployment.
9 Warning
Never adjust seats while driving as
they could move uncontrollably.
