SEAT ADJUSTMENTS
SEATING & SAFETY RESTRAINTS
Seats
On delivery of the car, first remove the protective plastic
seat covers, if this has not already been done, and dispose of
safely.
To adjust the fore/aft position of the driver's seat, raise the
lift bar beneath the front of the seat, and slide to the position
required. Ensure that the catch is fully engaged after adjustment
by attempting to slide the seat without touching the lift bar. Note
that the passenger seat position is fixed and cannot be adjusted,
and that the backrest angle of both seats is fixed, and cannot
be reclined.
WARNING:
• Sit as far back from the steering wheel as is comfortable,
whilst ensuring that full control can be maintained. Sit-
ting too close to an airbag can result in serious injury or
death if the airbag inflates.
• Ensure that your chest is at least 10 inches (250mm) from
the steering wheel.
• Do not attempt to adjust the seat position whilst driving
as this could adversely affect your control of the car.
• Ensure that no persons or objects will be trapped when
adjusting the seat.
Lumbar Support (if fitted): On seats equipped with adjustable
lumbar support, an inflator 'bulb' (A) and air release button (B)
