Operation
WARNING
Incorrect seat adjustment may lead to ac-
cidents and severe injuries.
Only adjust the seats when the vehicle is
●
stationary, as the seats could move unex-
pectedly while the vehicle is in motion and
you could lose control of the vehicle. Fur-
thermore, an incorrect position is adopted
when adjusting the seat.
Adjust the height, position and inclination
●
of the front seats only when their move-
ment area is empty.
Make sure there are no objects in that
●
area.
Make sure that the movement and lock-
●
ing areas of the seats are clean.
WARNING
Incorrectly using upholstery and seat cov-
ers might cause an accidental activation of
the electrical seat adjustment system and
make it move unexpectedly while driving.
This might cause loss of control of the vehi-
cle and thus accidents or injuries. More-
over, the electrical components of the front
seats might be damaged.
Never attach or place seat upholstery or
●
covers on the electric controls.
Never use upholstery or seat covers that
●
have not been explicitly authorised for the
seats of the vehicle.
Headrest
Introduction
The possibilities for the adjustment and disas-
sembly of the headrests are described below.
Always make sure that the seats are correctly
›››
adjusted page 13.
All seats are equipped with a headrest. The
central rear headrest is only intended for the
central seat of the rear bench. Therefore, do
not install it on any other seat.
Correct adjustment of headrest
Adjust the headrest so that its upper edge is
at the same level as the top of your head and
under no circumstances below eye level.
Keep the back of your head always as close
to the headrest as possible.
Adjusting the headrest for short people
Lower the headrest completely, even if your
head is below its upper edge. In the lowest
position, there may be a small distance be-
tween the headrest and the backrest.
Adjusting the headrest for tall people
Push the headrest up as far as it will go.
