2 Answers
To adjust the backrest of the front passenger seat: 1. Forward and backward adjustment: Lift the adjustment handle located at the lower right side of the seat to release the locking mechanism, allowing the seat to move forward or backward. Once the desired position is achieved, release the handle to lock the seat in place. 2. Angle adjustment: Rotate the adjustment knob on the left side of the seat to customize the angle according to your body size. Use your back strength to adjust the backrest angle to a comfortable position. Steps to remove the seat backrest: 1. Remove the headrest from the backrest. 2. Take out the plastic clips securing the headrest. 3. Lift the entire seat backrest upward to detach it.
I drive my wife to and from work every day, so adjusting the passenger seat backrest is a common task. The method is super simple: On the side of the seat near the door, there's usually a plastic lever or button. To operate it, pull the lever downward while leaning back or pushing forward to adjust the angle. Manual adjustment is quite common in many car models—just make sure to do it when the car is parked for safety. I've found that setting it comfortably can prevent back pain from long-term poor posture, especially making passengers more relaxed during long trips. Remember not to pull too hard to avoid jamming or damaging the lever, and regularly wipe off dust from the side of the seat. There might be slight differences between car models—for example, mine has the lever on the right side, while my friend's car has a hidden design. In short, you'll get used to it after a few tries, so don't worry.
