This guide shows how to adjust the driver's seat of the Volkswagen Polo Mk5. The controls are located on the outer side of the seat and at the front lower part. The first lever on the side of the seat allows height adjustment relative to the vehicle floor; pulling it upwards raises the seat and vice versa.

At the end of the seat, where it joins the backrest, there is a gear wheel that allows adjustment of the backrest angle; turning it towards the front of the vehicle tilts the backrest forward. At the front, in the right corner of the seat, there is a lever that allows adjustment of the seat distance from the pedals and steering wheel; keep it pulled up to release the slide.
