Getting started Adjusting Seat fore and aft adjustment Press the switch forward or backward in direction of arrow 5. Adjust the seat to a comfortable seating position that still allows you to reach the accelerator/brake pedal safely. The position should be as far to the rear as possible, consistent with ability to properly operate controls. Seat height Press the switch up or down in direction of arrow 3. Seat cushion tilt Press the switch up or down in direction of arrow 2 until your upper legs are lightly supported. Seat backrest tilt Press the switch forward or backward in direction of arrow 4 until your arms are slightly angled when holding the steering wheel. Head restraint height Warning! G ! Do not attempt to remove front seat head restraints. They can only be removed by qualified technicians. We recommend that you have this work carried out by an authorized Mercedes-Benz Light Truck Center. Vehicles with memory function*: Press switch ( page 44) up or down in direction of arrow 1. Vehicles without memory function: Do not drive the vehicle without the seat head restraints. Head restraints are intended to help reduce injuries during an accident. With a third-row seat occupied, make sure to move the respective head restraint up from the lowest non-use position and have the occupant adjust the head restraint properly. For your protection, drive only with properly positioned and engaged head restraints. Adjust the head restraint in such a way that it is as close to the head as possible and the center of the head restraint supports the back of the head at eye level. This will reduce the potential for injury to the head and neck in the event of an accident or similar situation. 1 Head restraint 2 Release button 45
