Emergency operation when removing electric seat

If the electric operation does not work, the seat can not be adjusted lengthwise so that it is possible to reach the retaining bolts. A tool must then be used to move the seat manually.

1. Raise the seat to its highest position.
2. Remove the seat side panel.
   NOTE: Electrically adjustable seat:  The front bolt has a protector on its tip. Retain this protector as it must be fitted to the bolt to prevent it from chafing against electrical wiring.

   NOTE: Moving the seat will be made easier by pushing the seat backwards or forwards as necessary.
