Early human beings were rather restless creatures. Always on their feet, always on the move. Their intellect was defined by the need
to explore their surroundings, their upright posture became the key feature of moving from A to B. After many thousands of years of
evolution, we raised our heads, lifted our arms off the ground and straightened our knees in order to finally be able to stride through
the world in an upright position. It then only took 200 years of sitting to force half of the human race back into a bent posture.

What exactly makes a car seat a genuine RECARO, a modern, high-tech seat? It is the experience gained over more than 100 years
of company history, the knowledge, the technology and the special philosophy integrated into every RECARO. Our products may
be more exclusive and expensive than others, but in the design and manufacturing process we will not make economies that can
affect safety, ergonomics and the comfort of the seat. Therefore, sitting in a genuine RECARO is a very special feeling.

The new millennium – challenge accepted.
We already know that the physical build of modern man has not been developed primarily for sitting down. But why exactly does
sitting cause so many problems? The main issue is maintaining the supply of fluid to the individual discs in the spine, which is not
ensured when a person is sitting down. In a sitting position, the discs lose more than 70% of the stored fluid in less than 20 minutes.
This results in a lack of nutrients and can cause long term damage. Preventing this from happening is one of our main objectives.
EXCELLENT POSTURE
During the seat development phase, ergonomics, comfort and
majority of cases, are considerably better than standard seat
quality are our top priorities. We can rely on comprehensive
systems. An evaluation of ten criteria for the seat cushion has
expertise from the various different corporate divisions – including
shown that RECARO seats are 60% better than a standard seat

and 45% better with the eleven backrest criteria. In particular,

Push your bottom as near as possible
to the backrest. The distance from the
seat to the pedals is adjusted so that
your knee is slightly bent when the
pedals are fully depressed.
Rest your shoulders as closely as
possible on the backrest. Set the
backrest tilt so that the steering
wheel is easy to reach with slightly
bent elbows. The shoulder contact
must be maintained when the
steering wheel is turned.
3
4
Set the seat height as high
as possible. This ensures an
unobstructed view to all
sides and all displays on the
instrument panel.
Set the seat cushion tilt so that it
is easy to fully depress the pedals.
The thighs should rest gently on
the seat cushion without exerting
pressure on it. Check the backrest
tilt before starting the engine.
5
6
Adjust the extendable seat
cushion so that the thighs
rest on it to just above the
knee. A rule of thumb is that
there should be two to
three fingers clearance
between the seat edge and
the hollow of the knee.
The lumbar support has been
adjusted correctly when the
lumbar part of the back is
supported in its natural shape.
7
8
The seat's side bolsters should fit so
snugly to the body that the upper
body is supported comfortably at
the side without being restricted.
If possible, adjust the upper edge
of the headrest to the same height
as the top of the head.
Tilt: The distance to the head
should be approx. 2 cm.
