driver seat adjustment MERCEDES-BENZ SPRINTER 2015 MY15 Operator’s Manual

R
Adjust the head restraint so that it supports
the back of the head at eye level.
R The distance from the pedals should be
such that you can depress them fully.
Observe also the safety notes in the section
on "Air bags" (Y page 47)and "Children in the
vehicle" (Y page 51).
If you swap over the head restraints for the
front and rear seats, you will not be able to
adjust the height and angle of the head
restraints to the correct position.
Use the head restraint pad to adjust the head
restraint so that it is as close as possible to
the back of your head.
Before the journey, make sure the head
restraints have been correctly set for each of the vehicle's passengers (Y page 86).Driver's and co-driver's seat
