Correct installation of the seats ensures:
  • easy access to all controls
  • relaxed and non-tiring driving position
  • maximum efficiency of seat belts and air bags.

Warning: The front seats must not be moved too close to the steering wheel and dashboard. While driving, your feet must be down on the area provided for this purpose - and under no circumstances on the dashboard or seats.

1 - Longitudinal adjustment of the seat


Lift the lever and move the seat. Then release the lever and move the seat until the lock engages.

The driver's seat should be adjusted so that when the pedals are fully depressed, the legs are slightly bent at the knees.

Caution: For safety reasons, do not change the driver's seat adjustment while the vehicle is moving.


2 - Seat back adjustment


Unload the seat back and turn the adjustment knob.

The seat back should be positioned so that the top of the steering wheel can be easily reached without straining with slightly bent arms.



Caution: When driving, the backrest should not be reclined too far back, as this may weaken the effect of the seat belts.


3 - Seat tilt adjustment


If you need to change the seat tilt, pull the lever up and set the desired seat tilt by adjusting it with more or less weight on the backrest.

4 - Seat height adjustment


Unload the seat and pull the lever upwards - this will move the entire seat evenly upwards. If the seat needs to be lowered, you should press it with your weight.

Caution: For safety reasons, the height of the driver's seat should not be adjusted while the vehicle is moving. Be careful when adjusting the height, as careless operation may result in injury.


Electrically adjustable seat


To adjust, press the switch on the outside of the seat.

Caution: Be careful when setting the height, as careless operation may result in injury.


5 - Adjusting the backrest curvature of the anatomical seat


By turning the handwheel, you can change the curvature of the seat back. If the back follows the natural curve of the spine, this makes even prolonged sitting less tiring.
