Front Seats; Seat Adjustment; Backrest Adjustment; Lumbar Support/Seat Heating System - Porsche 944 Driver Manual

Front seats

The correct seating position is all-important for
safe and fatigue-free driving.
In order to satisfy individual requirements, the
seat has infinitely variable adjustment.
The rocker switches for the height adjustment
are located at the outboard side of the seat.
We recommend the following procedure for
finding the correct position for the driver's
seat:
1. Operate longitudinal adjustment until your
leg is fully stretched with the clutch pedal
depressed while your foot is bent.
2. Adjust desired fore/aft height.
3. Clasp upper portion of steering wheel. Then
adjust backrest inclination so that both
shoulders remain in contact with the
backrest even with your arms fully
stretched.
4. If necessary, correct the longitudinal
adjustment.

Seat Adjustment

The seats permit individual longitudinal
adjustment. After pulling up the locking lever
on the outboard side of the seat, the seat can
be repositioned forward or rearward.
WARNING
Do not adjust seats while the vehicle is in
motion. The seat may move unexpectedly
which could cause sudden loss of vehicle
control or personal injury.
Vehicles with electric backrests and fore-and-
aft adjustment are equipped with rocker
switches with two additional functions.
A Move seat forward
B Move seat rearward
C Move backrest forward
D Move backrest rearward
Seat Heating System
The seat heating system is turned on by
means of the switch (a); it heats the seat pan
and backrest. After appr. 15 minutes, a time
relay shuts off the heating automatically. You
can also turn it off earlier by pushing the
switch downward.

Backrest Adjustment

The backrests can be adjusted forward or
rearward by pulling up the locking lever on the
inboard side of the seat.
WARNING
Front seat passengers should not ride in a
moving vehicle with the backrest reclined.
Safety belts only offer protection when the
backrest is upright and the belts are
properly positioned on the body.
Improperly positioned safety belts can
cause serious personal injury in an
accident.
Lumbar Support
The lumbar support is controlled by the rear
rocker switch (b) and can be
extended/retracted or raised/lowered to any
position to support the spine.
