ADJUSTMENT OF THE ANGLE OF THE BACK-REST (FIG. G)
- Suppor t the back-rest, pull the lever and position the back-rest to find the desired
position.
If you do not support the back-rest when making adjustments, it swings completely
forwards.
HORIZONTAL SHOCK ABSORBER (FIG. H)
In cer tain conditions (e.g. driving with a trailer) it is advised that a horizontal shock
absorber be used. The driver’s seat is thus better able to absorb jerks in the direction of
travel.
- Position 1: Horizontal shock absorber fitted.
- Position 2: Horizontal shock absorber removed.
LONGITUDINAL ADJUSTMENT (FIG. I)
- Adjust the locking lever until you reach the position required. This then locks and the seat
will not shift into another position.
MAINTENANCE (FIG. J)
Dir t may adversely affect the correct functioning of the seat. For this reason, make sure
your seat is always clean.
- To clean or change the cushions, simply remove them from the seat frame.
A rocking head-rest increases the risk of an accident !
Avoid wetting the cushion fabric when cleaning. Check the resistance of the fabric on a
small hidden area before using any fabric or plastic cleaner.

- Check that seat belt is not twisted.
- Place the seat belt at hip level.

tears, etc.). Repair or replace the seat belt immediately.
