Driving position
Adopting a good driving position helps improve
your comfort and protection.
It also optimises interior and exterior visibility
as well as access to controls.
Sitting comfortably
Whether or not your vehicle has certain seat
adjustments described in this section depends
on the trim level and country of sale.
Driver’s sideAs a safety precaution, adjust the seats
only when the vehicle is stationary.
If your vehicle has electric seats, the
ignition must be on to adjust them.
Passenger’s side
Before moving off
Adjust the interior and exterior door mirrors to
reduce blind spots.
Fasten your seat belt: place the diagonal belt in
the middle of your shoulder and adjust the lap
belt so that it is tightened across your pelvis.
Ensure that all passengers have fastened their
seat belts correctly.
Follow these recommendations as much as
your height permits...
Sit fully back in the seat with your pelvis, back
and shoulders in contact with the seat backrest.
The seat cushion height should be set so
your eyes are looking at the centre of the
windscreen. Adjust the longitudinal position of the seat so
you can fully press the pedals with legs slightly
flexed.
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 so that it conforms to
the shape of your spine.
Adjust the steering wheel so that your arms are
slightly bent.
The steering wheel should not hide the
instrument panel.
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 10 in (25
cm) from the dashboard.
Adjust the head restraint so that its upper edge
is level with the top of your head.
