Ease of use and comfort
Driving position
Adopting a good driving position helps improve
your comfort and protection.
It also optimises interior and exterior visibility
as well as access to controls.
Sitting comfortably
Whether or not your vehicle has certain seat
adjustments described in this section depends
on the trim level and country of sale.
Driver’s side
As a safety precaution, adjust the seats
only when the vehicle is stationary.
If your vehicle has electric seats, the
ignition must be on to adjust them.
Passenger’s side
Sit fully back in the seat with your pelvis, back
and shoulders in contact with the seat backrest.
The cushion height should be set so your eyes
are looking at the centre of the windscreen.
The head room should be at least 4 in (10 cm).
Adjust the longitudinal position of the seat so
you can fully press the pedals with legs slightly
flexed.
The knee room should be at least 4 in
(10 cm) from the dashboard for access to the
dashboard controls.
Adjust the backrest angle to as vertical a
position as possible; never tilt it more than 25°.
Adjust the head restraint so that its upper edge
is level with the top of your head.
Adjust the length of the seat cushion to support
your thighs.
Adjust the lumbar support so that it conforms to
the shape of your spine.
Adjust the steering wheel so that it is at least
10 in (25 cm) from your sternum and your arms
are slightly bent.
The steering wheel should not hide the
instrument panel.
Sit fully back in the seat with your pelvis, back
and shoulders in contact with the seat backrest.
Adjust the longitudinal position of the seat
so that you are at a distance of at least 10 in
(25 cm) from the dashboard.
Adjust the head restraint so that its upper edge
is level with the top of your head.
