Seats
Seat adjustment
The vehicle may be
equipped with different types of seats depending on the cab and vehicle's
equipment.
Observe the operating instructions issued by the seat
manufacturer.
 | Risk of accident |
|
Adjusting the
driver's seat while driving can distract you from traffic conditions.
Unexpected movements of the seat could cause you to lose control of the vehicle
and cause an accident.
Only adjust the
driver's seat when the vehicle is stationary and the parking brake is
engaged.

 | Risk of injury |

When adjusting the seat, make sure that nobody can become trapped. The seat catches must engage audibly.
Your seat must be adjusted in such a way that you can wear your seat belt correctly.
Observe the following points:
-
Position the backrest as close to the vertical as possible.
-
Your arms should be slightly bent when you are holding the steering wheel.
-
The head restraint should support the back of your head at approximately eye level.
You will then reduce the risk of injury to your head and neck in the event of an accident or similar situation.
-
Seat positions that do not allow you to wear your seat belt correctly are a safety hazard and should therefore be avoided.
Failing to observe these instructions may lead to injury.
Maintain a distance to the pedals that allows you to depress them fully.
Before getting out of the vehicle, lower the seat fully using the vertical adjustment button / easy exit feature. Otherwise, there is a risk that the seat could rebound and trap your legs between the steering wheel and the seat.
