Automatic seat back width adjustment
To make it easier to get in and out of the driver's
seat, the seat back automatically moves to its
widest position before returning to the driving
or memory position.
For both seats, this automatic feature is gov-
erned by the respective front door, as well as by
the ignition in the case of the driver's seat and
the belt buckle in the case of the front passen-
ger's seat.
Adjusting lumbar support
5 Lumbar support
The seat's back contour can be altered to pro-
vide more support to the curved, lumbar section
of the spine.
The upper edge of the pelvis and the spinal col-
umn are supported, to encourage an upright but
relaxed seated position.

Adjusting shoulder support
6 Adjusting angle of shoulder support:
The shoulder support also provides support for
the back at shoulder level. This results in a
relaxed seated position and reduces the load on
the shoulder muscles.
