Front seats
The correct seating position is all-
important for safe and fatigue-free driving.
In order to satisfy individual requirements, the
seat has infinitely variable adjustment.
The rocker switches for the height adjustment
are located at the outboard side of the seat.
We recommend the following procedure for
finding the correct position for the driver's
seat:
1. Operate longitudinal adjustment until your leg is fully stretched with the clutch pedal
depressed while your foot is bent.
2.
Adjust desired fore/aft height.
3. Clasp upper portion of steering wheel. Then adjust backrest inclination so that both
shoulders remain in contact with the
backrest even with your arms fully
stretched.
4.
If necessary, correct the longitudinal
adjustment.
Seat Adjustment
The seats permit individual longitudinal
adjustment. After pulling up the locking lever
on the outboard side of the seat, the seat can
be repositioned forward or rearward.
WARNING
Do not adjust seats while the vehicle is in
motion. The seat may move unexpectedly
which could cause sudden loss of vehicle
control or personal injury. Backrest Adjustment
The backrests can be adjusted forward or
rea
rward by pulling up the locking lever on the inboard side of the seat.
WARNING
Front seat passengers should not ride in a
moving vehicle with the backrest reclined.
Safety belts only offer protection when the
backrest is upright and the belts are
properly positioned on the body.
Improperly positioned safety belts can
cause serious personal injury in an
accident.
