Lumbar support*
The seat back contour can be altered to provide
more support to the curved, lumbar section of
the spine.
The upper edge of the pelvis and the spinal col-
umn are supported, to encourage an upright but
relaxed seated position.
Turn the wheel to increase or decrease the cur-
vature.
Seat adjustment rear
Do not adjust the rear seats whilst the
vehicle is in motion, otherwise there is a
risk of injury to its occupants.
Make sure that the catches on the rear seats
engage properly after they have been adjusted.
Otherwise the restraining effect of the seat belts
could be impaired in the event of an accident.<

1. Pull the lever up and slide the seat to the
preferred position.
2. Release the lever and move the seat forward
or back slightly so that it engages.

Adjusting the backrest angle, see page 95.
Head restraints

an accident.<

midway line is approximately level with the seat
occupant's ears.
Adjusting height
