Seats

Note before adjusting

Never attempt to adjust your seat while
the vehicle is moving. The seat could

respond with unexpected movement, and the
ensuing loss of vehicle control could lead to an
accident.
On the front passenger seat as well, do not
incline the backrest too far to the rear while the
vehicle is being driven; otherwise, there is a dan-
ger in the event of an accident of sliding under
the safety belt, eliminating the protection nor-
mally provided by the belt.

Comply with the instructions on head restraint
height on page

and on damaged safety belts

Lumbar support*

You can also adjust the contour of the backrest

vature.
