Jag måste dela med mig av denna vetenskapliga metod att ställa in stolen i en E-39. Ursprunget är en EEE-39 entusiast som dessutom är en expert på E-39. Om du inte sitter perfekt efter detta så har du problem! Lycka till! To establish a new driving position: Adjust the seat, wheel, & mirrors - "in that order". Following are the sequential steps for setting all positions: 1. Seat height. ( First lower entire seat to bottom position - front and back - no tilt ) Keeping it level, raise till your head is 6-7 cm from the roof. The height will aid visibility and provide maximum use of the sun visor. You may moderate this to accommodate elbows on armrests. 2. Seat fore / aft position - distance to pedals & height of seat belt strap. Adjust the “fore / aft” position of the seat bottom, making sure “your bottom” is at the rear of the seat. Move seat forward until your right toes can just touch the floor BEHIND the brake pedal - this allows full movement of the bake pedal. Your LEFT foot should rest firmly on the “dead pedal”, and your thigh should have risen off the seat. This is a safety position & you should always have your left foot positioned there except when clutching. During an emergency manoeuvre it is helpful if you remain behind the wheel, and it is easier to do this by bracing yourself with your left leg, while your right foot still operates the pedals. Now tilt up the front of the seat until it "just" begins to provide support on the back of your thighs, and your left ankle is comfortable. The front of the seat must NOT fully support the legs since the pressure on your thighs reduces blood flow, and your feet may go to sleep. You may not notice this until you go to move them - TOO LATE ! - Play with all this till comfortable. 3. Backrest & Head Restraint. - remaining adjustments should be done with seatbelt fastened. Adjust the upper backrest angle “all the way back”. Then tilt the whole backrest, until it feels “too far back”. Gradually bring forward till you no longer feel “uncomfortable”. Now angle the upper backrest forward until the head-restraint just touches the back of your head. Raise the head-restraint until the top is almost level with the top of your head. Now fine tune the angle of the seatback to achieve the following : - your back and shoulders are partially supported by the seat back - you can just reach the light switches & other dash controls, without having to move your back off the backrest. - your elbows can rest comfortably on the armrests. 4. Steering Wheel position Vertical - Align the upper rim of the wheel with the top of the instrument cluster. All the instruments should be visible through the wheel. Fore / aft - With your hands positioned at 12 o’clock, adjust the distance of the wheel so that your elbows are almost straight. Normal driving position is with hands positioned at 3 & 9 o’clock & arms outstretched, flexed at the elbows & free of the armrests. The armrests should be available for a relaxed hold of the wheel at 4 & 8 o’clock, but must not impede arm movement for rapid turning. After adjusting the distance you should recheck the correct height. - KEEP AS FAR FROM THE WHEEL AS PRACTICAL FOR AIRBAG SAFETY 5. Now mentally review the entire process, making sure later adjustments have not affected the original ones. 6. Mirrors. Interior Mirror - position so that the rear window is centred. Tilt down to see more road than sky. ( position is not held in memory ) Door Mirrors - ( positions are held in memory ) - Up/Down - Adjust to see straight back, then tilt slightly down to see more road than sky. - In/Out - tilt outward, until you have only a small vision overlap with the interior mirror. Passenger side may need to be set in at night to avoid headlights in passengers eyes. Remember, when in reverse, the passenger door mirror “tilts down” to show the curb. When backing any distance, you should keep this mirror at the standard height until you are close to something. Do this by sliding the “mirror selection switch” to the “passenger” position. Reactivate “auto dipping” by returning the switch to the “drivers” position. 7. Memory Now record all settings in memory by pressing the red “M” button on the door, followed by the number ( 1,2,3 ) of your choice. 8. Lumbar support ( not retained in memory ) First make it as hard as possible (uncomfortable), and then use the up/down button to position it at the right height - in the “small of your back”. Now deflate completely, then slowly increase until you can “just feel support”. Increase further only if you experience backache. It is better to start with too little support than too much. Once you have this set you may wish to “fine tune” the angle of the seat back, so that it provides “even support”, along the entire length of your back. Fine Tune - as you make further adjustments that improve your driving position - PUT IN MEMORY. Mvh, Steaman | |
