Warning Only drive with the seat correctly
adjusted.
■ Sit with your buttocks as far back
against the backrest as possible.
Adjust the distance between the
seat and the pedals so that your
legs are slightly angled when tromping the pedals. Slide the
passenger seat as far back as
possible.
■
Sit with your shoulders as far back against the backrest as possible.
Set the backrest rake so that you
can easily reach the steering wheel
with your arms slightly bent.
Maintain contact between your
shoulders and the backrest when
turning the steering wheel. Do not
angle the backrest too far back. We
recommend a maximum rake of
approx. 25 °.

■ Set seat height high enough to have a clear field of vision on all
sides and of all display instruments.
There should be at least one hand
of clearance between your head
and the headlining. Your thighs
should rest lightly on the seat
without pressing into it.
■ Adjust the head restraint 3 44.

there is a space about two fingers
wide between the edge of the seat

the lumbar support so that it
supports the natural shape of the
spine.
