Front seat
When you sit on the seat, make your
hip as close to the backrest as
possible. Adjust the distance between
the seat and the pedal to make your
leg slightly bend when you press the
pedal. The passenger’s seat shall slide
as backward as possible.
Make your shoulders lean on the
backrest as backward as possible. Set
the backrest inclination angle to make
your arm conveniently to reach the
steering wheel while slightly bending
the arm. Keep the shoulders leaning
against the backrest while turning the
steering wheel. The backrest shall not
incline excessively backward. We
suggest that the inclination angle of all
backrests shall not be more than 25
degrees.
The seat height shall be so set that the
occupant can see all directions and
the positions of all display
instruments. The head must be at
least one hand away from the roof
lining. The thighs are right on the seat
without constriction.
WARNING
!
When adjusting your seat, follow
these precautions:
• NEVER adjust the seat while the
vehicle is moving. Unexpected
movements could lead to losing
control of the vehicle and
causing an accident.
• Avoid placing anything under
the front seats. Loose objects in
the driver's foot area might
interfere with the foot pedals
and cause an accident.
• Ensure nothing interferes with
the seatback's normal position
and proper locking.
• Do not place a cigarette lighter
on the floor or seat. Operating
the seat could cause gas to
escape from the lighter and
start a fire.
