Adjustment of the front seats
Fig. 90 Front left seat controls
The control elements in fig. 90 are mirrored for the front righthand seat.
1 Adjusting the seat forwards and backwards
– Pull up the grip and move the seat forwards or backwards.
– Then release the grip 1 and move the seat further until the
catch engages.
2 Adjusting the seat height*
– Pull the lever up or push down (several times if necessary) from
its home position. This adjusts the seat height in stages.
3 Adjusting the backrest angle
– Take your weight off the backrest and turn the hand wheel.
4 Adjusting the lumbar support*
– Take your weight off the backrest and turn the hand wheel to
adjust the lumbar support.
The backrest curvature of the cushioned area is determined by the settings made in the lumbar region. This supports the natural curvature of the spine very effectively.
WARNING
• Never adjust the driver or front passenger seat while the vehicle is in
motion. While adjusting your seat, you will assume an incorrect sitting
position. Risk of fatal accidents. Adjust the driver or front passenger seat
only when the vehicle is stationary.
• To reduce the risk of injury to the driver and front passenger during
sudden braking manoeuvres or an accident, never drive with the backrest
tilted far to the rear. The maximum protection of the seat belt can be
achieved only when the backrests are in an upright position and the driver
and front passenger have properly adjusted their seat belts. The further
the backrests are tilted to the rear, the greater the risk of injury due to
improper positioning of the belt web!
• Exercise caution when adjusting the seat height or forwards/backwards
position. Injuries can be caused if the backrest is tilted without due
care and attention.
Heated seats*
The front seat cushions and backrests can be heated electrically.
Fig. 91 Thumb wheel for the front seat heating
– Turn the appropriate thumb wheel fig. 91 to switch on the seat heating. The seat heating is switched off in the 0 position.
The seat heating only works when the ignition is switched on. The left thumb wheel controls the left seat and the right thumb wheel the right seat.
Caution
To avoid damaging the heating elements, please do not kneel on the seat or
apply sharp pressure at a single point to the seat cushion and backrest.
