The seat adjustment knob can move up and down, left and right, and rotate in both directions. In the middle of the knob there is also a button you can use to change the active adjustment mode.

There are lots of different changes you can make to the seats. To control them all with the adjustment knob, the available changes have been grouped into separate adjustment modes. Each mode is visually represented in the center display to guide you while adjusting the seat.

 Warning

Never adjust the seat while driving. This can cause dangerous distraction and loss of control. Instead, be sure to make all necessary adjustments to the seat before starting a drive.

Adjusting the seat

Start by pressing the button on the adjustment knob.
The seat adjustment view appears in the center display.
To cycle through the different adjustment modes, press the button on the knob repeatedly.
Rotate or move the knob to adjust the seat according to your preference.
The visual guide in the center display indicates which part of the seat you are adjusting.

 Tip

Quick adjustments

You can also customize the seat without visual guidance from the center display. Just move or rotate the seat adjustment knob to start adjusting. Note, however, that only the basic adjustment mode is available this way.

Extending the seat cushion

You can manually extend the seat cushion to better support the full length of your upper legs. Grasp the handle below the front of the cushion and pull the cushion forward.

 Note

Adjustment lock

If you move the adjustment knob in the same direction 10 times within a short time frame, the knob becomes unresponsive for 1 minute. A message also appears in the center display telling you the seat adjustment controls have been disabled. This is to prevent unintentional use of the adjustment knob.

 Important

Once you've finished adjusting the seat to your liking, it's important to make sure other parts of the vehicle are aligned correctly. Your driving posture is important and is affected by factors in addition to your seat adjustments, such as the position of your steering wheel, mirrors and head-up display.
