Seat position
A ergonomically correct sitting position is important for safe and fatigue-free driving. We recommend the following procedure for adjusting the driver’s seat to suit individual requirements: 1. Adjust the seat height to give yourself enough headroom and a good overview of the vehicle.2. Adjust the seat in fore-and-aft direction so that your leg is not fully straight and your entire foot is on the pedal when pressing the pedals fully.3. Grip the top half of the steering wheel. Set the backrest angle and the steering wheel position so that your arms are almost outstretched. However, your shoulders must still rest on the backrest.4. Adjust the seat fore-and-aft setting if necessary.
Adjusting the seat
The seat may move further than desired if you attempt to adjust it when driving. You may lose control of the vehicle.fDo not adjust the seat when driving.
If persons or animals are within the range of movement of the seat, they could become trapped or crushed when you adjust the seat.fAdjust the seat so that no-one is put at risk.
