Seats, restraints39
● Sit with buttocks as far backagainst the backrest as possible.
Adjust the distance between the
seat and the pedals so that legs
are slightly angled when fully
pressing the pedals. Slide the
front passenger seat as far back
as possible.

sides and of all display
instruments. There should be at
least one hand of clearance
between head and the
headlining. Your thighs should
rest lightly on the seat without

bent. Maintain contact between
shoulders and the backrest when
turning the steering wheel. Do
not tilt the backrest too far back.
We recommend a maximum rake of approx. 25°.
