DRIVER'S SEAT ADJUSTMENT
A simple, easy-acting driver's seat adjustment has been provided.
For greatest driving comfort, merely lift the seat-side lever and
slide the seat forward or back to meet your personal requirements
for a relaxed driving posture. Releasing the lever locks, the seat in
position. As the front seat is adjusted forward, it also rises to give
drivers of short stature a good view of the road. On all coupe
models, the seat back swings forward and inward to provide
greater ease of entrance to the rear compartment.
ELECTRICALLY POWERED
SEAT ADJUSTMENT
The forward and backward adjustment of
the front seat is powered by an electrical
mechanism on some models. The control
button is mounted on the front of the seat
valance near the driver's left leg. The seat
rises as it moves forward to provide comfort
and visibility for short persons. If your
car is equipped with the automatic vertical
seat adjustment, the same control button
is used to raise or lower the seat.
