18 Safety
Seats
Both front seats are electrically operated.
On certain models the driver´s seat is
equipped with a memory function.
To facilitate getting into the car, both seats
can be adjusted when either of the front
doors is open.
For safety reasons, if the door is closed, the
seat can only be adjusted when the ignition
is ON.
Note, however, that both seats can be
adjusted for 30 seconds after both doors
have been closed.
The following seat adjustments can be
made to achieve a comfortable driving
position:
• height
• legroom
• backrest rake angle
• lumbar support
3
• head-restraint height
We recommend that adjustments to the
driver’s seat be performed in the following
order:
1 height
2 legroom
3 seat tilt angle
4 backrest rake angle
Lastly, adjust the steering wheel (see
page 114).
Side airbags
(see page 36).
Head restraint
(see page 21).
Height
To raise the seat, lift the lower control
straight up.
To lower the seat, press the lower control
down.
The same control can be used to adjust the
height of the front and rear edges of the seat
independently.
WARNING
The seats are actuated by powerful
motors. Bear this in mind when adjusting
the seat, and make sure that nothing gets
caught and damaged. Ensure that noth-
ing can be trapped when adjusting the
seat.
Bear in mind that children can be injured
if they play with the electrically-operated
seats.
Always remove the ignition key when you
leave the car. This prevents personal
injury caused by the electrically adjust-
able seats, for example, due to children
playing.
WARNING
Never adjust the driver’s seat except
when the car is stationary.
