Driver seat.

[Mr.Cambio]

Hello chaps.
I am having some pain in the back after driving the 4200 for more than one hour. Tried different seat settings but trouble remains.
I am not having that issue when driving the Alfa, which is much stiffer than the 4200 (i have bisltein B14 coilovers on).
Any idea on what can i do? Do Maserati seats get repaired to be orthopaedically correct?

Have you adjusted the lumber?

 

[Mr.Cambio]

What is this Peter?

 

[safrane]

Support for the lower back. If its too far out or not enough you may get lower back pain.

The vertical switch on the side of your seat that tilts the backrest, if you slide it vertically up it increases the lumber slide it down decreases it. I always had mine on max.

 

[Mr.Cambio]

Thanks for explaining. If i put it far up, then the seat comes up, too and then my head is almost at the roof.

What? Sounds like you are lifting the horizontal button, that raises the front or back of the seat as well as backwards and forward, try the other vertical button. Can't take a photo for you unfortunately as I don't have a car to take it of.

 

[Mr.Cambio]

Yes, you're right, seat height is adjusted from the horizontal button.
I did a test last night: When with the mito, my back seats very close to the seat, when in the 4200, there is a small gap between back and seat. This must be the reason for the pain. The problem is that if i adjust it correctly, then the whole driving position is not comfortable.

 

[Mr.Cambio]

Had the seat set in a different setting. Will have to take her out to see if the pain is still there. Thanks both

No problem Nikos, hope it works for you.
