The adjustable driver’s seat had a lot of travel and with the tilt direction done for a nice and customizable cockpit. The seat back has been fixed, but comfortable, although chances are the next itineration will have a tilt/fit.

The floor ratchet parking brake is now a ratchet pedal with a clearance just below the steering wheel. A Davey safety device mentioned in his presentation also received a préavis-l’ajout of a small raised aluminum function that prevents the middle passenger from inadvertently walking on the gas pedal.
