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.

Pull lever up and turn seat towards the door.
Before turning you must first lower the seat to the lowest position
and push the seat right back.
On the driver’s seat the backrest must also be folded forward, so
that it does not hit the steering wheel whilst the seat is being
turned.

General notes
• Before starting, move gear lever to neutral (with automatic
gearbox, selector lever in “P P
” or “N N
” position) and apply handbrake
firmly.
• On vehicles with a manual gearbox depress the clutch pedal
when operating starter so that starter only has to turn engine.
• As soon as engine starts, release the ignition key so that starter
can disengage.
• After starting a cold engine it may sound noisy for a moment or
two because the oil pressure has to build up in the hydraulic
tappets first. This is normal and no cause for alarm.

Anti-locking brake system*
The ABS plays a major part in increasing the active safety of the
vehicle. The big advantage when compared with a conventional
brake system is that even when braking hard on a slippery road
surface the best possible steerability is retained for the road
condition because the wheels do not lock. S St

However, one must not expect the ABS system to shorten the
braking distance under all conditions. When driving on gravel or on
fresh snow covering a slippery surface, i.e. when one should be
driving very slowly and carefully, the stopping distance may even
be slightly longer.
Modifications to the vehicle (i.e.: the brake system or the drive-
train) may affect the antilock system operation*, for this reason we
advise you to bear in mind the instructions in the "Accessories"
chapter.H Ho

An automatic check is made when a speed of approx. 6 km/h is
reached. When this happens a pumping noise can be heard.
When the turning speed of a wheel reaches a level which is too low
for the vehicle speed and it tends to lock, the brake pressure to
this wheel is reduced. On the front axle the brake pressure is
regulated for each wheel individually, whereas on the rear axle, the
pressure is regulated for both wheels at the same time. As a result
the braking effect is the same for both rear wheels and the driving
stability is retained as far as possible. T Th
