When driving, always hold the steering
wheel with both hands on the outside
of the ring: 9 o’clock and 3 o’clock posi-
tion.
·
Adjust the driver seat so that there is at
least 25 cm (around 10 in) between the
driver’s rib cage and the hub of the
steering wheel. If your build makes it
impossible to fulfil this requirement
then you must contact a suitably quali-
fied workshop for assistance.
·
Adjust the front passenger seat so that
the distance between the passenger
and the dash panel is as large as possi-
ble.
