Make sure you are sitting comfortably.............
1. Push your bottom as near as possible
to the backrest. The distance from
the seat to the pedals is adjusted so
that your knee is slightly bent when the
clutch pedals is fully depressed.
2. Rest your shoulders as closely as
possible on the backrest. Set the
backrest tilt so that the steering
wheel is easy to reach with slightly bent
elbows. The shoulder contact
must be maintained when the
steering wheel is turned.
3. Set the seat height as high as possible.
This ensures an unobstructed view
to all sides and all displays on the
instrument panel.
4. Set the seat cushion tilt so that it
is easy to fully depress the pedals.
The thighs should rest gently on
the seat cushion without exerting
pressure on it. Check the backrest
tilt before starting the engine.
5. Adjust the extendable seat cushion
so that the thighs rest on it to just
above the knee. A rule of thumb is that
there should be two to three fingers
clearance between the seat edge and the
hollow of the knee.
6. The lumbar support has been
adjusted correctly when the
lumbar part of the back is
supported in its natural shape.
7. The seat‘s side bolsters should fit so
snugly to the body that the upper body
is supported comfortably at the side
without being
restricted.
8. If possible, adjust the upper edge
of the headrest to the same height
as the top of the head. Tilt: The distance
to the head should be approx. 2 cm.
