DRIVER'S SEAT AND HEAD RESTRAINT
Lift the release (A) at the front of the seat frame
to adjust the seat forwards or backwards. Lift
the lever (B) to raise or lower the front of the
seat. Lift the lever (C) to raise or lower the rear of
the seat. Lift the adjuster lever (D) to alter the
seat back angle.
A mechanical lumbar support is fitted which may
be adjusted to suit the individual by rotating the
knob (E). Rotating the knob to the right moves
the lumbar support outwards to support the
back, rotating the knob to the left retracts the
lumbar support. The head restraint should be
adjusted up and down so that the top (F) is
immediately behind the centre of driver’s head.
With assistance, and working from the front of
the seat, the head restraint can be lifted out of
the seat after depressing the spring clips (G) in
the top of the seat back, to the right of each
head restraint pillar hole.
SEAT BELT - DRIVER'S SEAT
Always wear your seat belt and ensure your
passengers wear their seat belts whenever
driving the vehicle. The chances of becoming
injured in an accident and/or the severity of
injury may be greatly reduced if seat belts
are worn and are properly adjusted.
Adjust the driving seat to the required position.
Slowly draw the seat belt out from its retraction
guide (H) on the body pillar, passing it over the
centre of the right shoulder before inserting the
locking tongue (J) into the buckle (K) until a
"click" confirms full engagement.
Ensure the belt is not twisted and position the
lap belt portion low over the hips (never across
the soft parts of the abdomen). Pull the shoulder
portion of the belt back towards the guide on
the body pillar to remove any slack.
Depress the red button on the buckle (K) to
release the belt; the belt will retract
automatically.
WARNING: The seat belt should rest
on the middle of the shoulder - it must
not rest against the neck.
Seat belt care
No modifications or additions should be made to
the seat belt assembly or its fixings.
Regularly inspect the seat belt webbing for any
signs of wear or damage paying particular
attention to the fixing points.
Always keep the belt dry and avoid
contaminating the seat belt webbing with
polishes, oils and chemicals.
Renew any seat belt that has withstood the
strain of a severe impact or shows any sign of
fraying or has been cut. The replaced assembly
must be to the manufacturer’s specification and
may only be fitted by an authorized Dealer.
Clean only with a mild non-detergent soap
solution or luke warm water. Allow the belt to dry
naturally.
