How to Adjust the Front and Rear Position of GL8 Seats?
3 Answers
Move the seat position switch forward or backward to adjust the seat's front and rear position. Lift up or press down to raise or lower the seat. Simply press the lumbar support adjustment button to adjust the height of the lumbar support. The seat's lumbar wrapping can be adjusted to prevent excessive driver displacement during aggressive driving. The operation method is the same as the front and rear seat control buttons—just push forward or backward to adjust.
When I used the GL8 for daily commuting, I found the seat adjustment quite convenient. There's a metal lever at the bottom left of the seat - just pull it up with one hand and the seat will slide. Push the seat forward or backward to your comfortable position, then release to lock it. Don't use excessive force during this process to avoid jamming the tracks. After adjustment, test the stability. Proper seat positioning helps prevent back pain during driving, especially on long trips where keeping knees slightly bent is the safest posture. The GL8 offers generous seat space. Regularly clean the lever and slide rails with a damp cloth to prevent rust or sticking - just a few wipes will do. Don't overcomplicate it - personalizing your position takes just minutes.
I've been driving my GL8 for several years and am quite familiar with seat adjustments. You crouch down and usually find a lever handle under the seat cushion. Pull it up firmly without releasing, while moving your body forward or backward to adjust the seat distance. After releasing, make sure it's securely locked. If the sliding isn't smooth, it might be due to dirt buildup, so I recommend using lubricant spray on the track gaps. When adjusting, sitting on the seat allows for more precise positioning, ensuring your knees are bent at about 120 degrees when stepping on the pedals for optimal comfort and safety. The seat design in this car is very user-friendly, and with the spacious interior, adjustments are stress-free. However, for the electric version, it's even simpler—just press the buttons on the door side. Always remember to check after each adjustment to prevent unexpected sliding that could affect driving.
