ADJUSTMENTS
The shape of the seat and the extensive adjustment possibilities, coupled with the possibility of adjusting the steering wheel, allow the optimum driving position for different "sized" drivers with diverse driving styles.
This is the range of possible adjustments:
Longitudinal adjustment. The sliding guides offer a wide range of travel and are angled by 3° so that the seat lifts as it moves forward.
Height adjustment Vertical travel is 40 mm. The control is carried out by an easy to use ratchet lever which requires little effort to operate.
Adjustment of the backrest angle. It is operated by a rotary handle that allows micrometric adjustment.
Lumbar adjustment (driver's seat on some versions). This is achieved by operating a knob on the backrest which controls a butterfly mechanism which varies the lumbar carrying capacity of the backrest.
