Seat and headrest adjustment

The seats must not be adjusted while the vehicle is in motion.

The design of car seats guarantees maximum comfort for the person sitting in them, while at the same time providing conditions for the most effective performance of their functions by seat belts and airbags. The choice of seat position also has an impact on the safety of the person sitting in it. For example, moving the front seat too far forward increases the risk of injury to the occupant when the airbag deploys, as well as the risk of being thrown through the windshield in a frontal collision.

Increasing the inclination of the seat back will worsen the fixation of the body by the seat belt - the more the back is tilted back, the higher the likelihood of slipping of the body sitting under the lap section of the belt in a strong frontal impact, and the more severe the injuries can be.

Lock the front seat in the position as far as possible from the steering wheel / instrument panel, and at the same time convenient for driving the car, bring the backrest to a vertical position.

Headrests prevent injury to the cervical spine and head in a rear impact. The head restraint should be adjusted in height so that its upper cut is flush with the upper edge of the ear of the seated person.

Adjustment front seats is made by means of an e / drive, controlled by switches located on the outer side of the seat cushion.




The angle of the headrest is manually adjustable.
