Range Rover Evoque: Sitting in the correct position
The driver
and front seat passenger
must not ride with the seat fully
reclined.
Do not adjust
the seat while the
vehicle is moving.
The seat, head restraint, seat belt and airbags, all contribute to the protection of the user.
Correct use of these components will give you greater protection. Therefore, you should always observe the following points:
1. Sit in an upright position with the base of your spine as far back as possible and the seatback reclined no more than 30 degrees.
2. Do not move the driver's seat too close to the steering wheel. Ideally, a minimum distance of 254mm (10in) is recommended between the breastbone and the steering wheel airbag cover. Hold the steering wheel in the correct position, with your arms slightly bent.
- Adjust the head restraint so that the top of the head restraint is above the centre line of the head.
- Position the seat belt so that it is mid-way between your neck and your shoulder. Fit the strap tightly across your hips, not across your stomach.
- Ensure that your driving position is comfortable and enables you to maintain full control of the vehicle.
