It also optimises interior and exterior visibility as well as access to controls.
Sitting comfortably

and shoulders in contact with the seat backrest.
Adjust the height of the seat so that your eyes
are level with the middle of the windscreen.
Your head should be at a distance of at least
10 cm from the roof.
Adjust the longitudinal position of the seat so
that you can fully depress the pedals with your
legs still slightly bent.
Passenger
Sit fully back in the seat with your pelvis, back
and shoulders in contact with the seat backrest.
Adjust the longitudinal position of the seat so
that you are at a distance of at least 25 cm from
the dashboard.
Adjust the head restraint so that its upper edge
is level with the top of your head.
If your vehicle has electric seats, the
ignition must be on to adjust them.
The distance between your knees and the
dashboard should be at least 10 cm, for easy
access to the controls in the dashboard.
Adjust the seat backrest angle to the most
vertical position possible; the backrest must not
be reclined more than 25° from vertical.
Adjust the head restraint so that its upper edge
is level with the top of your head.
Adjust the length of the seat cushion to support
your thighs.
Adjust the lumbar support to fit the shape of
your spine.
Adjust the steering wheel so that it is at
distance of at least 25 cm from your chest
and
you are able to hold it with your arms slightly
bent.
The steering wheel must not obstruct your view
of the instrument panel.
As a safety measure, the seats and
steering wheel must only be adjusted
when stationary.
The presence in the vehicle of certain seat adjustments described in this section depends on the trim level and country of sale.
