Correct adjustment of the front seats is
important:
– in order to be able to reach the controls
rapidly and accurately;
– to keep occupants relaxed and fresh;
– in order to get maximum protection
from the seat belts and the airbag sys-
tem.
Warning
•
For this reason, the front seats
should not be pushed too close to
the steering wheel or the instru-
ment panel.
•
Feet should remain in the
footwell when the vehicle is mov-
ing – never resting on the instru-
ment panel or seats.
The front seats should be adjusted before
putting the seat belts on.
Nothing should be left under these seats,
as adjustment of same may be hindered.
After making any longitudinal or vertical
seat adjustment, jerk the body sharply to
ensure that the seat locking mechanism
has engaged correctly.
1 – To move seat backwards
and forwards
Lift lever and move seat. Then release
lever and move seat further so that the
catch engages.
The driver’s seat should be adjusted so
that the pedals can be fully depressed
with the legs slightly angled.
Warning
For safety reasons the driver’s seat
must only be moved forward or
backward when the vehicle is sta-
tionary.
