Driver’s seat
We recommend that you position the driver’s seat as follows:
– Set the driver’s seat forwards/backwards in such a way that the
pedals can be fully depressed with a slightly angled leg.
– Set the backrest in such a way that it is fully against your back
and that you can reach the upper point of the steering wheel with
your arms at a slight angle.
Front passenger seat
We recommend that you position the front passenger seat as
follows:
– Backrest in an upright position.
– Place the feet in the footwell in a comfortable position.
– At the same time push the seat back as far as possible.

By turning the hand-wheel the seatpadding in the lumbar area of
the spine can be made to arch forward slightly. This gives effective
support to the natural curvature of the spine so that the sitting
position is less fatiguing, particularly on long trips.

Take weight off seat cushion and pull up lever. The whole seat
cushion moves upwards. To adjust the seat cushion downwards,
push seat downwards with body weight
⇒ fig. 89.
Coat hanger
You can remove the clothes hook fitted to the head restraint. To do
this you must first remove the head restraint
⇒"Headrestraints"chapter. You can then simply pull the hook off the rods of the head
restraint.
Toy bag
The toy bag, which is in the form of a rucksack, can be hung from
the head restraint of a seat. In this way, your child can always see
and reach his/her toys during the journey. It is thus also possible
to prevent the bag from being flung forwards if you have to brake
suddenly or are involved in an accident.
