Operation

Electric driver's seat adjustment

WARNING

●

Incorrect seat adjustment may lead to acci-

dents and severe injuries.

If the electric front seats are used negli-

gently or without paying due attention, it

can cause serious injury.

●

Only adjust the seats when the vehicle is

●

stationary, as the seats could move unex-

pectedly while the vehicle is in motion and

you could lose control of the vehicle. Fur-

thermore, an incorrect position is adopted

when adjusting the seat.

The front seats can also be electrically

adjusted when the ignition is switched off.

Never leave a child or any other person who

may need help in the vehicle.

WARNING

A

Adjust the lumbar support: press the

button according to the desired position.

Incorrectly using upholstery and seat cov-

ers might cause an accidental activation of

the electrical seat adjustment system and

make it move unexpectedly while driving.

This might cause loss of control of the vehi-

cle and thus accidents or injuries. More-

over, the electrical components of the

front seats might be damaged.

Seats and headrests

WARNING

Adjusting the headrests

Headrest

If travelling with the headrests removed or

improperly adjusted, the risk of severe or

fatal injuries in the event of accidents and

sudden braking or manoeuvres increases.

Introduction

The possibilities for the adjustment and dis-

assembly of the headrests are described be-

rectly adjusted page 15 .

›››

●

To decrease the risk of cervical injuries in

the event of an accident, adjust the head-

rest correctly based on your height, always

making sure that its upper edge is at the

same height as the top of the head, but

never below eye level. Keep the back of

your head always as close to the headrest as

possible and centred.

All seats are equipped with a headrest. The

central rear headrest is only intended for the

central seat of the rear bench. Therefore, do

not install it on any other seat.

Fig. 107 Front seat: headrest adjustment.

Correct adjustment of headrest

Adjust the headrest so that its upper edge is

at the same level as the top of your head and

under no circumstances below eye level.

Keep the back of your head always as close

to the headrest as possible.

●

Never adjust the headrest while the vehi-

cle is in motion.

●

Under no circumstances should the rear

passengers travel while the headrests are in

the non-use position.

Adjusting the headrest for short people

CAUTION

Lower the headrest completely, even if your

head is below its upper edge. In the lowest

position, there may be a small distance be-

tween the headrest and the backrest.

When assembling and disassembling the

headrests, do not let them meet the top

lining of the vehicle, the back rest of the

front seat or other parts of the vehicles. If

not, this could damage the vehicle.
