Adjusting the front seat position (Opel Frontera B)

Adjust the driver's seat to a position that allows easy operation of the pedals, steering wheel, and instrument panel switches while still providing good visibility.

Warnings:

• Do not adjust the driver's seat position while the vehicle is moving, as full attention should be given to driving the vehicle. The seat may suddenly move, resulting in loss of vehicle control.
• After adjustment, gently rock the seat to ensure it is securely in place.
• No objects are allowed in the footwell, as they may get caught under the pedals in the event of emergency braking. In this case, you will not be able to brake, press the clutch pedal or the accelerator pedal. It is important for the driver and front passenger to maintain a minimum distance of 25 cm from the steering wheel/instrument panel. Otherwise, the airbag system will not be able to perform its protective function, which is life-threatening. In addition, the front seats and headrests should always be installed according to height.
• Adjust the seat position only before starting to move.

Adjusting the longitudinal position of the front seat

Pull up on the seat adjustment lever and move the seat forward or backward to the desired position. After adjustment, release the adjustment lever to lock the seat in the new position.

Warnings:

• To make sure the seat is securely locked, try moving it forward or backward without using the adjustment lever.
• It is important for the driver and front passenger to maintain a minimum distance of 25 cm from the steering wheel/instrument panel. Otherwise, the airbag system will not be able to perform its protective function, which is life-threatening. In addition, the front seats and headrests should always be installed according to height.

Adjusting the angle of the front seat backrest

The angle of the seat back is adjusted after lifting the handle. To tilt the seat back forward, first lean your body away from the back. After releasing the handle, the seat back will lock into place.

Warnings:

• To reduce the risk of injury in the event of a collision or sudden braking, the seatbacks should be kept in a nearly upright position while the vehicle is moving. The effectiveness of seat belts may be significantly reduced if the seat back is reclined. In this case, there is a risk that the passenger will slip out from under the seat belt and as a result will be seriously injured.
• Do not place pillows, etc. between your back and the seat back while traveling in a car. This will reduce the effectiveness of the head restraints in the event of an accident.

To make it easier to get into the back seat

To make it easier to get into the back seat, move the front seat forward. Press the backrest locking lever located on the side of the backrest, which will unlock the seat back and tilt it forward. The backrest is returned to its original position after being lifted up.

After setting the seat to its original position, adjust its position.

Driver's seat height adjustment

To raise or lower the seat, turn the handle in the appropriate direction.
