gas compression spring).

compression spring).
8.1.2 Electric Seat Tilt Adjustment
The electric seat tilt adjustment lets you bring the seat
into a tilted position of up to 22° for pressure relief, for
example. To control the tilting, the joystick is used in the
“additional function” mode. The seat can be continuously
tilted backwards (see fig. 20).
nOTE !
It is helpful to slightly tilt the seat to the rear
when driving down inclines or curbs. Drive
down inclines and across obstacles at re-
duced speed only (max. 3 km/h).
