Adjust the head restraint fore-and-aft position so
that it is as close as possible to the back of your
head.
& WARNING Risk of injury or death due to
incorrect seat position
The seat belt does not offer the intended level
of protection if you have not moved the seat
backrest to an almost vertical position.
When braking or in the event of an accident,
you could slide underneath the seat belt and
sustain abdominal or neck injuries, for exam‐
ple.
Adjust the seat properly before begin‐
#
ning your journey.
Always ensure that the seat backrest is
#
in an almost vertical position and that
the shoulder section of your seat belt is
routed across the centre of your shoul‐
der.
* NOTE Damage to the seats when moving
the seats back
The seats may be damaged by objects when
moving the seats back.
When moving the seats back, make sure
#
that there are no objects in the footwell,
under or behind the seats.

To set the seat suspension: take the weight

to 120 kg) so that the seat suspension works
optimally. If you set a higher weight, the seat
suspension will become firmer. The seat will
then not vibrate as much. If the seat vibrates
often and significantly, you can engage the
seat in the lower area.
To engage vibration limiting: turn lever
#
upwards.
The next time the seat vibrates, it will engage.
To release vibration limiting: turn lever
#
