in the driving position your arms should rest on the rim
of the steering wheel.
Any adjustments should be carried out on-
ly when the vehicle is stationary.

ways check that the seat is locked on the
guides by trying to move it back and forth. If it is
not locked, the seat may move unexpectedly and
make you lose control of the car.

The fabric covers on your vehicle have been
designed to resist normal wear and tear.
Some precautions are however needed.
Avoid prolonged rubbing against clothing acces-
sories, such as metal buckles, bosses, Velcro strips
and the like, which by applying a high pressure on
the fabric in a small area could cause the break-
age of some threads and damage the upholstery.
