Lumbar support
You can also adjust the contour of the backrest 
to obtain additional support in the lumbar 
region.
The upper hips and spinal column receive sup-
plementary support to  help you maintain a 
relaxed, upright sitting position.
The illustration shows the MINI Countryman as 
an example.
Turn the wheel to increase or decrease the cur-
vature.
