pressed. When the button is released, the seat will
automatically lock in place.

Quick movement
● By double-clicking button 2 (◄), the seat turns towards
the load space.

release the seat lock by lightly pulling the belt at the bottom
of the seat. The lock will remain released and the seat can
be rotated freely for as long as the belt is pulled.

Note: Do not use excessive force to pull the belt to prevent
the brake mechanism from being damaged.
