To move the seat forward, lift the adjustment lever up. Release the seat and move it back and forth to a comfortable position. Once installed, release the adjustment lever and move the seat slightly forward or backward to lock it in the new position.
Attention! Make sure the seat is secure by moving it forward or backward without using the adjustment lever.

To recline the seatback, lean forward to take your weight off the seatback and pull up on the seatback recline lever located on the outside of the seat. Press the seat back and set it to the desired position. to lock the seatback in its new position, release the backrest adjustment lever.
Attention! To reduce the risk of injury in a traffic accident (accidents) or sudden braking while the vehicle is moving, the driver and front passenger seat backrests should be in a position as close to vertical as possible.
The effectiveness of the protection of seat belts and airbags is greatly reduced when the seatback is reclined. There is a strong possibility that when the seatback is reclined, the driver and front passenger could slide out from under the seat belt, causing serious injury in a vehicle collision during an accident (accidents). The seat belt will not be able to fully protect the occupant when the seat back is reclined.
Adjustable headrests

The head restraints provide protection for the neck area.
To raise the head restraint, pull it up. To lower the head restraint, press it down while pressing the lock. To remove the head restraint, pull it out as far as it will go while pressing the lock.
Attention! To reduce the risk of injury in the event of a collision, adjust the height of the head restraints so that their center is at eye level. If there is a cushion or the like between the back and the seat back, the distance between the head and the head restraint increases and the effectiveness of the head restraints in the event of an accident will be reduced.
Attention! It is dangerous to drive a car with incorrectly adjusted head restraints or without them at all. Be sure to check that the head restraints are properly installed and adjusted. Failure to do so may result in serious neck injury in a traffic accident (accidents).
Attention! Do not adjust the head restraint while the vehicle is in motion.
Tilt headrest forward and backward
Pic. 1.146. Tilt headrest forward and backward
The headrest can be tilted forward to three different positions. To return the head restraint, move it forward to the end position and then release. The head restraint should be positioned so that it properly supports the head and neck.
Automatic headrests (optional equipment)
The self-adjusting head restraints are capable of moving forward and upward in a rear impact. This keeps the driver's and front passenger's heads from being thrown back violently and thus preventing neck injury, which usually occurs even in relatively minor accidents.
Lumbar support adjustment (for driver's seat only) (optional equipment)
Pic. 1.147. Lumbar support adjustment: 1 - weak support; 2 - strong support
To adjust the lumbar support, turn the lumbar adjustment lever located on the inside edge of the driver's seat backrest. To increase the support force, move the lever towards the front of the vehicle. To loosen the support force, move the lumbar support adjustment lever towards the rear of the vehicle.
