Citroen C1 - C1 Seat Height Adjustment - Foru2

Hi i have recenty bought a 2012 Citroen C1, the advert said that it has a height adjustable seat but all i can find are handles which change the angle of the seat. Can anyone help with this or advise where you adjust the seat height? Thanks

I don't think you can adjust seat height on this model. I think it was introduced on 2014+ models on certain trim levels.

The ad might have relied on standard information. AutoTrader for example does this but there is a disclaimer that it may not be fully accurate. You needed to check the car itself if you wanted to be sure. Hopefully you can find a solution. It may not even be an issue if you can find a comfortable, safe position using any other adjustments it does have.
In practice we never reset the height of our car seats despite a considerable difference in height between my wife and me. It may of course be an issue if you are particularly short or tall or if you cannot adjust the seat belt shoulder mounting height.

The seats from the the 2nd generation C1/108/Aygo can be retro-fitted into the first generation C1/107/Aygo - some 2nd generation seats are height adjustable.
