Getting to know your vehicle
► Set seat height high enough to have a clear
field of vision on all sides and of all display
instruments. There should be at least one
hand of clearance between head and the roof
frame. Your thighs should rest lightly on the
seat without pressing into it.
Manual Front Seats
Drive only with engaged seats and backrests.
Longitudinal adjustment
Seats
Front Seat Position
Warning
Do not sit closer than 25 cm to
the steering wheel, to allow safe airbag
deployment.
► Adjust the head restraint so that its upper
edge is at upper head level.
► Sit with shoulders as far back against the
backrest as possible.
Set the backrest rake so that it is possible
to easily reach the steering wheel with
arms slightly bent. Maintain contact between
shoulders and the backrest when turning the
steering wheel. Do not angle the backrest too
far back. We recommend a maximum rake of
approx. 25°.
Warning
For safety reasons, adjustments must only
be made when the vehicle is stationary.
► Adjust seat and steering wheel in a way that
the wrist rests on top of the steering wheel
while the arm is fully extended and shoulders
are on the backrest.
Pull the handle, slide the seat, then release the
handle. Try to move the seat back and forth to
ensure that the seat is locked in place.
Backrest inclination
► Adjust the lumbar support so that it supports
the natural shape of the spine
Warning
Once these adjustments have been made,
check that the instrument panel can be
viewed correctly from your driving position.
Before taking to the road and to make the
most of the ergonomic layout of the instruments
and controls, carry out these adjustments in the
following order:
Warning
Before moving the seat backwards, ensure
that there is no person or object that might
prevent the full travel of the seat.
There is a risk of trapping or pinching
passengers if present in the rear seats, or of
jamming the seat if large objects are placed
on the floor behind the seat.
► Sit with buttocks as far back against the
backrest as possible.
Adjust the distance between the seat and
the pedals so that legs are slightly angled
when pressing the pedals. Slide the front
passenger seat as far back as possible.
Turn handwheel to adjust inclination.
Do not lean on the backrest while adjusting.
