Caution

Only drive when the seat is correctly adjusted.

Position de siège

  • Sit with your buttocks as far back as possible against the backrest. Adjust the distance between the seat and the pedals so that your legs are slightly bent when fully depressing the pedals. Move the front passenger seat fully back.
  • Sit with your shoulders as far back as possible against the backrest. Adjust the backrest tilt so that the steering wheel can be reached with the arms slightly bent.

    When turning the steering wheel, your shoulders must remain in contact with the backrest. Do not recline the backrest too far. Maximum recommended recline angle approximately 25°.

  • Adjust the steering wheel 80.
  • Adjust the seat height high enough to have a clear view in all directions and of all instruments.

    Keep at least one hand's width of clearance between your head and the roof frame. Your thighs should rest lightly on the seat without sinking into it.

  • Adjust the head restraints 43.
  • Adjusting the seat belt height 52.
  • Adjust the thigh support so that there is a distance of about two finger widths between the edge of the seat and the back of the knee.
  • Adjust the lumbar support so that it follows the natural shape of the spine.
