Seat position
An ergonomically correct sitting position is
important for safe and fatigue-free driving. We
recommend the following procedure for adjusting
the driver's seat to suit individual requirements:
1. Adjust the seat height to give yourself enough
headroom and a good overview of the vehicle.
2. Adjust the seat in fore-and-aft direction so that
your leg is not fully straight and your entire foot
is on the pedal when pressing the pedals fully.
3. Grip the top half of the steering wheel. Set the
backrest angle (backrest angle is not
adjustable at the full bucket seat) and the
steering wheel position so that your arms are
almost outstretched. However, your shoulders
must still rest on the backrest.
4. Adjust the seat fore-and-aft setting if
necessary.
