Lotus Evora 2011 - 7. Seating & Safety Restraints; Seat Adjustment and Features

7. 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 a front 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 at-
tempting to slide the seat with the lift bar released.
The backrest angle may be adjusted by turning the handwheel
at either side of the backrest base.
For access to the rear of the cabin, a backrest release handle
is provided in the outboard shoulder harness slot. Pulling the
lever will allow the backrest to fold forwards without losing the
original setting, to which the seat may be returned after releas-
ing the lever.
