Seat Adjustment - Mercedes-Benz 560 SL 107 1988 Owner's Manual

Seat Adjustment

Fore/aft adjustment: lift handle (1);
slide seat to the desired position
and release handle to re-engage.
Seat elevation (6 positions): Each
time handle (2) is pulled up, the
seat is raised by one notch. If the
handle is pushed down completely,
the seat will return to its lowest po­
sition. Afterwards, the handle can
be pulled up to engage the seat in
its first position to avoid clicking
noise.
Back rest tilt: turn handwheel (3).
After disengaging the stop by lifting
lever (4), the back rest can be fold­
ed forward.
Warning!
Do not adjust the driver's seat
while driving. Adjusting the seat
while driving could cause the
driver to lose control of the
vehicle.
Never ride in a moving vehicle
with the seat back reclined. The
seat back and seat belts provide
the best restraint, when the
wearer is in an upright position
and the belts are properly posi­
tioned on the body.
Height of Head Restraint:
Pull head restraint slightly forward
and slide up or down.
Inclination of Head Restraint:
The inclination can be adjusted
manually.
Note:
Always adjust head restraint to
support the back of the head
approximately at ear level before
driving. Do not pull up head re­
straint past the stop.
Caution!
Do not remove head restraints
except when mounting seat covers.
For this purpose refer to "Practical
Hints", page 90. Whenever re­
straints have been removed be
sure to reinstall them before
driving.
Important!
Prior to operating the vehicle, the
driver should adjust the seat height
for proper vision as well as fore/aft
placement and seat back angle to
insure adequate control, reach,
operation, and comfort. The head
restraint should also be adjusted
for proper height.
Both the inside and outside rear
view mirrors should be adjusted for
adequate rearward vision. Fasten
seat belts. Infants and small chil­
dren should be seated in a properly
secured restraint system that com­
plies with Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standard 213.
All seat, head restraint, and rear
view mirror adjustments as well as
fastening of seat belts should be
done before the vehicle is put into
motion.
