Lumbar support*
Shoulder support: the adjustable upper back-
rest also supports the back in the shoulder
region. This provides a relaxed driving position
and helps relieve stress on the shoulder mus-
cles.
Also on the passenger side, do not incline the
backrest too far to the rear while the vehicle is
being driven, otherwise there is a danger in the
event of an accident of sliding under the safety
belt, eliminating the protection normally pro-
vided by the belt.<
Adjusting lumbar support*
Please observe the information on damage to
safety belts provided on page 44 and the infor-
mation on the active front head restraints* on

Seat adjustment

You can also adjust the contour of the backrest

The upper hips and spinal column receive sup-
plementary support to help you maintain a
relaxed, upright sitting position.
