ment, once again press the switch in the appropriate direction and
continue with the adjustment of the seat to the end.
Memory for the seat
Memory buttons
Memory for the seat offers the possibility to store the individual seat and
external mirror position. An individual position can be allocated to each of
the three memory buttons ⇒fig. 53 , that is three in total. On pressing
the appropriate memory button the seat and external mirror will auto-
matically move into the position allocated to this button.
ON/OFF switch
If you press switch (raised switch), the memory buttons no longer
operate. You can now adjust the seat electrically without using the
memory buttons . After pressing switch once again, the seat can be
reset with the memory buttons. If you had already started an operation to
retrieve the settings, this operation is not continued.
If the car is used only by one driver, it is not necessary to store particular
settings in this case, we recommend that you press the button (raised
button).
WARNING
•Only adjust the driver seat when the vehicle is stationary - risk
of injury!
•Caution when adjusting the seat! You may suffer injuries or
bruises as a result of adjusting the seat without paying proper
attention.
•In view of the fact that the seats can also be adjusted when the
ignition is switched off (even when ignition key withdrawn), you
should never leave children unattended in the car.
•The backrests must not be angled too far back when driving
otherwise this will affect proper operation of the seat belts and of
the airbag system - risk of injury!
