Front seats
General information
The seat should be set in a position that provides the driver with maximum comfort when operating the pedals, steering wheel and switches on the instrument panel. In addition, a good view through the windshield and reliable fixation of the driver's body with a seat belt should be ensured.
The rear of the central console is equipped with an adjustable folding armrest for the front seats, or an armrest combined with the lid of the console storage compartment.
Seat adjustments must be made before driving.
The use of any additional pillows or other objects placed on the seat cushion or back is not permitted.
Remember that excessively reclining the seat back significantly reduces the effectiveness of the seat belt!
Mechanical seat adjustment drive
The mechanical seat position control elements are located in front under the cushion (seat longitudinal adjustment lever) and from the outside of the cushion/backrest (adjustable pillow and backrest tilt).
Pull the control lever (1) located at the front under the seat cushion towards you and move the seat assembly to the desired position. Once you have finished adjusting, release the lever and make sure the seat is securely locked by moving it back and forth.
The seat cushion tilt is adjusted using the lever (2) - pull the lever up and turn the cushion so that it provides soft support for the thighs.
The backrest tilt is adjusted using a rotary handle (4) mounted in the outer side wall of the backrest.
The height of the head restraint is increased by pulling it upwards from the backrest guides. To lower the head restraint, press the button (4) releasing the guide lock. The tilt of the head restraint is adjusted manually by turning it forward or backward. A description of the procedures for removing and installing the front head restraints is given in Section Interior controls and equipment.
Electric seat adjustment drive
The front seat adjustment switches are located on the outer sides of the seat assemblies. The electric drive can only operate in positions 1 and 2 of the ignition switch (on some models also in position 0 with any of the front doors open).
The design of the electric drive allows adjustment of up to four seat parameters.
In addition, it is possible to enter up to three selected sets of parameters into the on-board processor memory with subsequent quick recall of the saved data.
To enter the seat settings into the processor memory, press the memory access button (5), then, after a delay of no more than 3 seconds, press any of the three function buttons (6).
Note: In parallel with the seat parameters, the parameters for installing the rear-view mirrors are entered into the processor memory (see Section Interior controls and equipment).
The parameters stored in the processor memory are recalled by holding down the corresponding function button.
Note: Before calling up the settings after folding the seat, first bring the seat back to the upright position.
The headrest position is adjusted manually, just like on seats with a mechanical drive (see above).
Multi-bench rear seat
