Front Seats
Seat position
An ergonomically correct sitting position is
important for safe and fatigue-free driving. We
recommend the following procedure for adjusting
the driver’s seat to suit individual requirements:
1.
Adjust the seat height to give yourself enough
headroom and an unobstructed view outside
the vehicle.
2.
Adjust the seat in fore-and-aft direction so that
your leg is not fully straight and your entire foot
is on the pedal when pressing the brake pedal
fully.
3.
Grip the top half of the steering wheel. Set the
backrest angle and the steering wheel position
so that your arms are almost outstretched.
However, your shoulders must still rest on the
backrest.
4.
Adjust the seat fore-and-aft setting if
necessary.
5.
Adjust the height of the headrest so that the
upper edge is at eye level or higher.
Adjusting the seat
The seat may move further than desired if you
attempt to adjust it while driving. You may lose
control of the vehicle.
f
Do not adjust the seat while driving.
If persons or animals are within the range of
movement of the seat, they could become
trapped or crushed when you adjust the seat.
f
Adjust the seat so that no-one is put at risk.
