Seat adjustment

Front seats

General information

The seat must be installed in a position that provides the driver with maximum comfort when operating the pedals, steering wheel and switches on the instrument panel. In addition, good visibility through the windshield and the safety of fixing the driver's body with a seat belt must be ensured.

In the rear part of the center console is equipped with an adjustable folding armrest of the front seats, or an armrest combined with the lid of the console glove box.

Seats must be adjusted before driving.

Do not use any additional pillows or other items placed on the cushion or seat back.

Please note that excessive seatback inclination significantly reduces the effectiveness of the seat belt!

Mechanical seat adjustment

Elements of a mechanical drive for controlling the position of the seat are located in front under the pillow (seat adjustment lever fore and aft) and on the outside of the cushion/back (cushion and backrest adjustment).

Pull the control lever located in front under the seat (1) and slide the seat assembly to the desired position. After completing the adjustment, release the lever and make sure that the seat is secure by moving it back and forth.

Seat cushion inclination is adjusted using the lever (2), - pull the lever up and rotate the pillow so that it provides gentle support to the hips.

Backrest tilt adjustable with rotary knob (4), mounted in the outer side wall of the backrest.

The height of the head restraint is increased by pulling it up from the backrest guides. Press the button to lower the head restraint (4) release the guide lock. The inclination of the head restraint is adjusted manually by turning it forward or backward. A description of the procedures for removing and installing the front head restraints is given in Section Controls and interior equipment.

Electric seat adjustment

The front seat adjustment switches are located on the outside of the seat assemblies. The operation of the electric drive is possible only in positions 1 and 2 of the ignition switch (on some models also in position 0 with any of the front doors open).

The design of the electric drive allows you to adjust up to four parameters of the seat.

In addition, it is possible to enter up to three selected sets of parameters into the memory of the on-board processor, followed by a quick recall of the stored data.

To enter the seat settings into the processor memory, press the memory access button (5), then, with a delay of no more than 3 seconds, - any of the three function buttons (6).

Note. In parallel with the parameters of the seats, the parameters for installing rear-view mirrors are entered into the memory of the processor (see Section Controls and interior equipment).

The call of the parameters stored in the memory of the processor is carried out by holding down the corresponding of the function buttons.

Note. Before calling up the settings after unfolding the seat, first bring the backrest to the upright position.

The head restraint is adjusted manually, just like on power seats (see above).

Bench rear seat

Note. A description of the procedures for removing and installing the rear seat headrests is given in Section Controls and interior equipment.

In order to increase the volume of the luggage compartment on the considered models of cars, the possibility of sliding and folding the bench rear seat is provided.
