How to Adjust the Height of Civic Seat Cushion?
2 Answers
The method to adjust the height of the Civic seat cushion is as follows: 1. There is a handle on the left side of the passenger seat. Lifting it up increases the height, while pressing it down lowers the seat. 2. Generally, the car seat adjustment switch is located on the side of the seat. Seat adjustment switches can be manual or automatic, with the same function and principle, only the control method differs. 3. Extension: The adjustment of car seat height should consider various factors such as the driver's height, arm length, and the distance of the steering wheel from the body. There should be at least a fist's distance between the head and the car roof; the height of the hands on the steering wheel should be about 10 cm below the shoulders.
Hey, when I first drove my Civic, I didn’t know how to adjust the seat height either—it took me a while to figure it out. Under the driver’s seat on the left side, there’s a manual lever. You can lift or press it to raise or lower the seat cushion; it’s simple and effortless. My car is a 2020 model with manual seats. When adjusting, sit in the seat, gently pull the lever while moving your body up or down, and find a position where you can clearly see the dashboard and the road ahead. The electric version is even more convenient—just look for the up/down arrow buttons on the door or center console and press them to move the seat height. Remember to test the adjustment afterward to ensure pressing the brake and accelerator isn’t strenuous, so your back won’t ache on long drives. It’s best to adjust while parked to avoid distractions and ensure safety. If it’s a new car, check the manual for diagrams—it’s a safer reference.
