IMPORTANT The multi-contour seat control valve (41) allows the backrest contour to be adjusted to meet the driver's specific requirements by means of two backrest arch air chambers (10) and two side retention air chambers (7).

Moreover, another air chamber (11) allows the length of the seat cushion to be changed in the front area of the seat cushion.
