Shoulder support:
Move the switch in the direction of the
arrow to adjust the tilt angle of the
upper backrest section.
You can use the adjustable upper back-
rest for supplementary support in the
shoulder region. This provides a
relaxed sitting position and helps
relieve stress on the shoulder muscles.
For optimum adjustment the following
is recommended:
Driver and front passenger:
1. Adjust the upper backrest section to
its extreme rear position
2. Adjust for the optimal sitting position,
refer to page 42
3. Bring the upper backrest section fur-
ther forward until your shoulders are
well supported.

Front passenger's seat adjusted for
relaxed traveling:
1. Adjust the upper backrest section to
its extreme rear position
2. Tilt the backrest down to a slightly
more horizontal angle
3. Bring the upper backrest section
forward until your shoulders are well
supported.
Make corrections in the forward/
backward adjustment of the seat
to ensure that the safety belt still fits
firmly against your body. If you do not
do this, the protection provided by the
safety belt may be reduced.

tion.
