Front seats
Correct seat positioning is imperative for
safe and tireless driving. To enable individual
seating comfort, the seats are adjustable for
and aft and the backrest angle is adjustable.
To find the most suitable seat position, we
suggest the following procedure:
1 Pull the locking lever at the front of the
seat upwards, and slide the seat until your
leg is straight when fully depressing the
clutch pedal. You should not however
have to outstretch your foot to reach this
position. Let the locking lever down, and
ensure that the seat is locked in a ratchet
on the seat slides. Never try to adjust the
seat whilst driving, as a sudden change of
seat position could cause you to lose
control of the vehicle.
2 Grip the top half of the steering wheel.
Then set the backrest angle so that with
fully outstretched arms, your shoulders
still contact the backrest.
Then check the steering wheel position, and
view of the instruments.
For optimum legroom and view of the instru-
ments, the steering wheel and instrument
console can be released, adjusted, and then
re-locked.
The backrests are secured in position to
stop them tipping forward during braking; to
release, press the button on the side of the
backrest.
Similarly, the rear seat backrests can be re-
leased, and tipped forward, thereby giving
more luggage room in the rear.
