How to set your RECARO seat optimally
24
This description is to help you adopt an orthopaedically correct seating posture. Incorrect
sitting posture can cause back pain, reduced concentration and rapid fatigue. Therefore,
please adjust your RECARO seat carefully in the sequence outlined below.
The seat must be positioned so that you can reach the steering wheel, pedals and controls
with ease. You should also have the best possible field of vision in all directions, as well as
an optimum view of the vehicle’s instrument panel and controls.
1. Distance of seat from the pedals
Push your bottom as near as possible
to the backrest. The distance from the
seat to the pedals is adjusted so that
your knee is slightly bent when the
pedals are fully depressed.
2. Angle of backrest
Rest your shoulders as closely as
possible on the backrest. Set the
backrest tilt so that the steering
wheel is easy to reach with slightly
bent elbows. The shoulder contact
must be maintained when the
steering wheel is turned.
