How to adjust the seats in the Borgward BX5?
2 Answers
Here are the seat adjustment methods for the Borgward BX5: 1. Backrest angle: After getting in the car and sitting down, first adjust the backrest angle in a relatively standard sitting posture. The backrest angle must not be adjusted to a reclined position. The angle between the backrest and seat cushion should be slightly greater than 90 degrees, with the body leaning slightly backward to help relax. 2. Seat height: The seat height should ensure that the view is not blocked by the steering wheel. Raising the seat provides a wider field of vision, allowing you to see more and thereby increasing driving safety. 3. Seat forward/backward position: Adjust the seat forward or backward based on whether you can easily press the pedals all the way down. This distance also ensures that the airbag can deploy effectively in case of an accident.
To adjust the Borgward BX5's seats, I remember it's simple and practical—once seated in the driver's seat, locate the manual lever on the side, pull it forward, and push your body back to slide the seat backward, giving your legs more stretching space. The backrest angle is adjusted by rotating the knob on the side—turning it left reclines the backrest, while turning it right makes it more upright, preventing back fatigue during long drives. The height adjustment lever is usually at the edge of the seat base; a gentle lift or press changes the seat height, ensuring clear visibility without slouching. Don’t forget to check the adjustability of the rear seats—when carrying kids or heavy loads, pull the release latch under the rear seat to fold it down, expanding trunk space. The whole process takes less than a minute. Experiment with different positions while driving to find the most comfortable one, avoiding fatigue for safer and more convenient driving.
