FRONT SEATS

SEAT POSITION
Warning
Only drive with the seat correctly
adjusted.
Sit with your buttocks as far back
Ÿ
against the backrest as possible.
Adjust the distance between the
seat and the pedals so that your legs
are slightly angled when tromping
the pedals. Slide the passenger seat
as far back as possible.
Sit with your shoulders as far back
Ÿ
against the backrest as possible. Set
the backrest angle so that you can
easily reach the steering wheel with
your arms slightly bent. Maintain
contact between your shoulders and
the backrest when turning the
steering wheel. Do not tilt the
backrest too far back. We recom-
mend a maximum angle of approx.
25°.
Ÿ Adjust the steering wheel. See
Steering Wheel Adjustment on
page 4-4.
Set the seat height enough to have a
Ÿ
clear field of vision on all sides and
on all display instruments. There
should be at least one hand of
clearance between your head and
the headlining. Your thighs should
rest lightly on the seat without
pressing into it.
Ÿ Adjust the head restraints. See Head
Restraints Position on page 2-2.
Ÿ Adjust the height of the safety belt.
See Shoulder Belt Height Adjuster on
