Warning
If you adjust the driver's seat while the vehicle
is in motion, your attention will be distracted
from the traffic conditions. You could lose
control of the vehicle as a result of sudden
seat movements and, thereby, cause an
accident.
Therefore, only adjust the driver's seat when
the vehicle is

stationary and the parking brake
is applied. G
Warning
Make sure that nobody can become trapped
as you adjust the seat. Never place your
hands under the seat or in the vicinity of
moving parts.
Your seat must

be adjusted in such a way that
you can wear the seat belt correctly.
Observe the following points:
R Position the backrest in an almost vertical
position so that you are sitting virtually
upright.
R Avoid seat positions that prevent the seat
belt from being routed correctly. The
shoulder section of the belt must be routed
over the middle of your shoulder and be
pulled tight against your upper body. The
lap belt must always pass across your lap
as low down as possible, i.e. over your hip
joints. Do not drive or ride with the backrest
reclined too far back.
R Your arms should be slightly bent when you
are holding the steering wheel.
R The distance from the pedals should be
such that you can depress them fully.
R Adjust your head restraint so that its upper
edge is at the same level as the top of your
head.
R Make sure that you hear the seat engage.
Otherwise, the seat is not correctly locked
in place.
Failing to observe these instructions may lead
to injury. Seats

Warning
Do not start the engine unless the driver's and
co-driver's seats are facing in the direction of
travel and are locked in position. Only adjust
the seats when the vehicle is stationary and
the parking brake is applied. You could
otherwise lose control of the vehicle as a
result of sudden seat movements and thereby
cause an accident.
The safety systems only work when the
driver's and co-driver's seats are facing in the
direction of travel.
The driver's seat and co-driver's seat can be
rotated through 180°.
The seats engage when facing in the direction
of travel as well as when facing in the opposite
direction and also engage at an angle of 50°
to the door.
! When rotating the seats, make sure that
there is sufficient space to do so.
Move the seat forward or back first. This
will help to avoid contact with other parts
of the interior.
Push the handbrake lever down to the stop.
The parking brake or handbrake lever could
otherwise be damaged.
i Always slide the co-driver's seat forwards
before rotating it (Y page 64).
X Make sure that the parking brake has been
engaged and that the handbrake lever has
been pushed down to the stop
(Y page 112).
X Adjust the steering wheel to provide the
necessary space to rotate and adjust the
driver's seat ( Y
page 69). G
Warning
When releasing and rotating the seats, make
sure that you do not trap yourself or others.
Never place your hands under the seat or in
the vicinity of moving parts. Seat release (example co-driver's seat)
X
To rotate the seat: push lever 0046 on the
rear of the seat towards the center of the
vehicle and
slightly rotate the seat inwards.
The swiveling mechanism is now released.
X Release lever 0046.
X Rotate the seat inwards to the desired
position. G
Warning
When the seat is facing in the opposite
direction to the direction of travel and has
been moved to the rearmost position, you
could knock against the exposed frame and
be injured.
Therefore, always move the seat to a central
position above the seat base when leaving it
unoccupied. Inform others traveling with you
of this risk.
