Opel Corsa: Front seats / Seat position

Warning

Only drive with the seat correctly adjusted.

Warning

Never adjust seats while driving as they could move uncontrollably.

Danger

Do not sit closer than 25 cm to the steering wheel, to permit safe airbag deployment.

Warning

Never store any objects under the seats.

• Sit with buttocks as far back against the backrest as possible. Adjust the distance between the seat and the pedals so that legs are slightly angled when pressing the pedals. Slide the front passenger seat as far back as possible.
• Set seat height high enough to have a clear field of vision on all sides and of all display instruments. There should be at least one hand of clearance between head and the roof frame. Your thighs should rest lightly on the seat without pressing into it
• Sit with shoulders as far back against the backrest as possible. Set the backrest rake so that it is possible to easily reach the steering wheel with arms slightly bent. Maintain contact between shoulders and the backrest when turning the steering wheel. Do not angle the backrest too far back. We recommend a maximum rake of approx. 25°.
• Adjust seat and steering wheel in a way that the wrist rests on top of the steering wheel while the arm is fully extended and shoulders are on the backrest.
• Adjust the steering wheel
• Adjust the head restraint
• Adjust the lumbar support so that it supports the natural shape of the spine.
