How to Adjust SUV Seating Position for Comfort?

[LeLucas]

Adjust the seat position by first setting the height, then adjusting the forward/backward position. The forward/backward distance should ensure that your knees are bent at approximately a 90-degree angle for optimal comfort. The driver's arms should be positioned so that when fully extended, both wrists naturally rest on the steering wheel, which is the most suitable distance. The seatbelt must fit snugly against the body. A loose seatbelt will reduce its cushioning effect during a safety incident.

As an experienced SUV driver with ten years behind the wheel like me, I know that adjusting the seat starts with making sure your hips are completely against the backrest, leaving about two fingers' space under your thighs to avoid pressure. Adjust the steering wheel height so the dashboard is fully visible—this position keeps your arms slightly bent for minimal effort. Set the lumbar support to fill the gap in your lower back for maximum comfort, and remember to align the headrest center with the back of your head to prevent neck strain on long drives. Finally, don’t forget to adjust the rearview mirror so you can just see the rear window frame when sitting upright. After adjusting, test the brakes to ensure your knees maintain a safe 160-degree bend.
