Adjusting the position of the front seats
There is a risk of injury!
Sitting positions that compromise proper seat belt fit exacerbate risk factors and should therefore be avoided.
The backrest should be set almost vertically. The back should be adjacent to the backrest, and the seat belt should be adjacent to the shoulder area.
Adjust the headrest so that the back of your head rests on it at approximately eye level.
When adjusting the seat position, make sure that no one is trapped.
Also, when leaving the car for a short time, remove the electronic key from the ignition or take the smart card with you.
However, it is possible to adjust the seat position even with one door open.
Therefore, do not leave children unattended in the car.
There is a risk of accident!
For safety reasons, do not change the position of the seat while driving.
Turn the electronic key in the ignition switch to position 1 or 2.
With the driver's door open, the driver's seat position can be adjusted with the electronic key inserted.
The front passenger seat position can also be adjusted with one door open.
Note: When adjusting the seat position from the reclining or far-back position, ensure that the rear vanity mirrors are covered.
The switches are located in the front doors.
We recommend performing the basic adjustment as follows:
- 1 Longitudinal movement of the seat
Move the switch in the direction of the arrow until you comfortably reach the accelerator pedal.
Note: If there are items in the luggage net in the passenger footwell, do not move the front passenger seat all the way forward - luggage items may be damaged.
- 2 Press the E button
Car with memory function
Keep button E pressed until all position adjustments are made.
This step will make it easier for you to adjust the position of the seats. All other positions of the seats, mirrors (driver's seat) and steering wheel (driver's seat) are set automatically depending on the set longitudinal position of the seat. After that, only its fine adjustment should be performed as described below. The outside rear-view mirrors, the inside rear-view mirror and the steering wheel are described in Section Steering wheel, rear view mirrors.
Seat height
Move the switch at the rear in the direction of the arrow until the highest position is reached while maintaining sufficient headroom.
Seat tilt
Move the switch in front in the direction of the arrow until you reach a position that provides light support for your thighs.
Backrest tilt
Move the switch forward or backward until your arms on the steering wheel are slightly bent at the elbows.
Seat cushion contour
Move the switch forward or backward until you reach a position that provides light support for your thighs.
Headrest height
The height of the head restraints is automatically adjusted when the seat position is adjusted so that the back of the head finds support on the head restraint at approximately eye level. If this position is not achieved automatically, adjust the head restraint using the switch.
Adjust the tilt of headrest "1" manually. Pull or push the headrest from the front.
(To store the seat position in memory, refer to Section Seat position memory).
Removal and installation headrests of the driver's seat and front passenger seat
There is a risk of injury!
Drive only with head restraints in place.
Note: To make it easier to remove and install the head restraint, tilt the seat back slightly.
Removal
Move switch "1" upward until the head restraint is fully extended. Pull out the head restraint.
Installation
Move switch "1" up for about 5 seconds.
Press the headrest down until it locks into place.
Lumbar support
The controls are located on the side in front of the driver's seat and front passenger seat and on the side in the rear seats.
The backrest's curvature can be adjusted to support the spine.
Turn the electronic key in the ignition switch to position 2.
Use regulator "1" to set the backrest convexity between positions 0 and 5.
Multi-contour seat back
Driver's seat and front passenger seat: The switch is located on the side at the front of the seat.
To support the spine, the backrest contour can be individually adjusted.
Turn the electronic key in the ignition switch to position 2.
Rear seats
The switch is located on the side of the seat.
It is recommended to perform the basic installation in the following sequence:
- 1 Bulge of the back in the lumbar region
- 2 Bulge in the back area (driver's seat and front passenger seat only)
Switches 1 and 2:
Press the switch from above and hold it down, individual air bags are inflated sequentially from top to bottom. When the desired position is reached, release the switch.
Press the switch at the bottom and hold it down, individual air bags will inflate sequentially from bottom to top. When the desired position is reached, release the switch.
- 3 Side parts of the back
Press the button to the right or left, the lateral support is increased or decreased. Adjust the side parts of the seat back so that good lateral support is provided.
- 4 Dynamic function (PULSE)
To avoid constant muscle tension during long journeys, the multi-contour seat backrest is equipped with a dynamic function.
At the same time, the inflated air cushion in the back rhythmically inflates and then releases pressure.
When the dynamic function is switched on, the control LED on the switch lights up. After about 5 minutes, the dynamic function switches off automatically.
Note: If the topmost air bag is inflated, the middle air bag inflates and the pressure is released.
Heated seats
Turn the electronic key in the ignition switch to position 1 or 2.
Notes:
- If too many electrical consumers are switched on or the battery is not sufficiently charged, the seat heating system may switch off. In this case, one or both control LEDs flash.
- When sufficient voltage is restored, the seat heating system turns on automatically.
The buttons are located on the corresponding door.
