How to set your RECARO seat optimally
This description is to help you adopt an orthopaedically correct seating posture. Incorrect
sitting posture can cause back pain, reduced concentration and rapid fatigue. Therefore,
please adjust your RECARO seat carefully in the sequence outlined below.
The seat must be positioned so that you can reach the steering wheel, pedals and controls
with ease. You should also have the best possible field of vision in all directions, as well as
an optimum view of the vehicle's instrument panel and controls.
1. Distance of seat from the pedals
Sit with buttocks pressed against backrest.
Set the seat distance so that your leg is still slightly bent when
the pedal is fully depressed.
2. Angle of backrest
Sit with buttocks pressed against backrest.
Set the backrest so that you can reach the steering wheel with
the arms bent and shoulders touching the backrest.
Contact of the shoulders with the backrest must not be lost when
turning the steering wheel.
3. Seat height
Set the seat as high as necessary.
You must have the best possible field of vision in all directions,
as well as an optimal view of the vehicle instrument panel and
control elements.
4. Sitting area angle
Adjust the sitting area angle in such a way that you can press the
pedals easily.
Your thighs should lie on the seat cushion lightly and without
pressure.
