Default Lowering the Drivers seat

Guys,

I've been given a 2013 V40 D4 as a rental while my normal car is repaired following an accident...

The driving seat appears to be really high, so much so that I always hit my head getting in and out of the car.

Can anyone advise how to lower the drivers seat?

I've found 3 handles so far, none of which seem to do this.

Bar under seat - moves seat on the runners back and forward.
Handle on the right hand side of the seat - seems to tilt the seat backwards
Handle under the seat on the right hand side - seems to do nothing.

Is there something I'm missing?

Don't you "pump" the handle up or down to raise or lower the seats?

Yes push the handle down and down to lower. That's the long one on the squab by your right thigh/buttock.
