RECARO Sit training

1. Press the base of your spine back until it is in contact with the back of the seat. The distance from the edge of the seat to the pedals should be adjusted so that your knees are slightly bent when the pedals are fully depressed.

2. Press your shoulders back as firmly as possible against the seat back. The angle of the seat back should be set so that you can reach the steering wheel comfortably with your elbows slightly bent. Shoulder contact must be maintained when turning the steering wheel.

3. Set the seat height as high as possible. This ensures a clear view of the instruments and good all round vision.

4. Adjust the seat cushion tilt so that the pedals can be depressed easily. Your thighs should rest lightly upon the seat cushion, without undue pressure. Check the seat back angle before moving off.

5. Set the length of the seat so that your thighs are supported to just above your knees. Rule of thumb: 2 – 3 fingers' width gap between the edge of the seat and the back of your knees.

6. The RECARO Airmatic System® is correctly adjusted when your lower spine is supported in its natural position.

7. The side bolsters of the seat should be so close that your upper body is supported comfortably at the sides without undue pressure.

8. The top of the head rest should be set to exactly the same height as the top of your head.

Tilt: the distance to the back of your head should be approx. 2 cm.
