The seats, apparently, for the similar Renault 9, the floorpan had been engineered in such a way, that conventional seats would not fit, so, the rails were placed closer together, and positioned more toward the centre, rather than in a more conventional outer edge setup. The seat had to be raised on the secondary set of rails, so that you still have enough room under the seats, so that rear passenger feet, would fit under. If you get a moment, search for the 'Renault 11 TXE Electronique (or Electronic) to get an insight into the digitial, talking dashboard option, we had, in Europe.
