Correct position of the front seats
The correct position of the front seats is determined by the physique of the driver and front passenger.
There are many options for the position of the front seats and thus their correspondence to the physical characteristics of the driver and front passenger. Proper seat position is important for:
- quick and reliable use of controls;
- relaxed, unfatiguing posture;
- to achieve the maximum protective effect of the belts and the airbag system.
Attention
- Always keep your feet in the footwell while driving – never on the dashboard or seat cushions! This is especially true for passengers. In the event of emergency braking or an accident, you are at increased risk of injury.
- It is important for the driver and front passenger to maintain a minimum distance of 25 cm from the steering wheel/dashboard. Otherwise, the airbag system will not be able to perform its protective function - danger to life! In addition, the front seats and head restraints must always be adjusted to height.
Correct position of the driver's seat
Proper seat position is essential for a safe and fatigue-free seating position.
We recommend that you adjust the driver's seat as follows:
- Adjust the longitudinal position of the driver's seat so that you can fully depress the pedals with slightly bent legs.
- Adjust the angle of the backrest so that the backrest rests completely against the back and it is possible to reach the highest point of the steering wheel with slightly bent arms.
- Slide the head restraints up or down so that the top edge of the head restraint is at least at or above eye level.
Attention
- Position the driver's seat so that the minimum distance between the steering wheel and the sternum is 25 cm. Otherwise, the airbag system will not be able to perform its protective function - risk of injury!
- In the footwell, no object is allowed to be in, because. in case of emergency braking, they can get under the pedals. In this case, you will not be able to brake, squeeze the clutch or press the accelerator pedal!
Correct position of the front passenger seat
Move the front passenger seat as far back as possible.
We recommend that you adjust the front passenger seat as follows:
- Move the front passenger seat as far back as possible.
- So adjust the angle of the backrest so that the backrest takes a straight (vertical) position and its surface is completely adjacent to the back.
- Slide the head restraints up or down so that the top edge of the head restraint is at least at or above eye level.
- Place your feet comfortably in the legroom.
