Correct seated position for the driver
Correct seated position for the driver is important for safe
and relaxed driving.
For your own safety and to reduce the risk of injury in the event of an acci-
dent, we recommend the following setting.
• Adjust the steering wheel so that the distance between the steering
wheel and your chest is at least 25 cm ⇒ fig. 116.
• Position the driver seat in the forward/back direction so that you are
able to press the pedals with your legs at a slight angle .
• Adjust the backrest so that you are able to reach the highest point of
the steering wheel with your arms at a slight angle.
• Adjust the head restraint so that the top edge of the head restraint is
at the same level as the upper part of your head ⇒ fig. 117.
• Fasten the seat belt correctly ⇒ page 150, “How are seat belts
correctly fastened?”.
Driver seat adjustment ⇒ page 69, “Adjusting the front seats”.
WARNING
• The front seats and the head restraints must always be adjusted
to match the body size of the seat occupant as well as the seat belts
