How to Adjust the Height of the Lavida Steering Wheel?
2 Answers
The method to adjust the height of the Lavida steering wheel is as follows: 1. Correctly adjust the driver's seat, locate the lever-like control rod under the steering wheel, pull it downward to unlock, then adjust the steering wheel to the desired position; 2. Push the control rod upward to lock and complete the adjustment. Taking the 2019 Lavida as an example, it belongs to the compact car category with body dimensions of length 4613mm, width 1765mm, height 1460mm, a wheelbase of 2610mm, and a curb weight of 1210kg. The 2019 Lavida features a front MacPherson strut independent suspension and a rear torsion beam non-independent suspension. It is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 112PS, maximum power of 82kW, maximum torque of 145Nm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.
I've been driving a Volkswagen Lavida for several years, and adjusting the steering wheel height is a basic yet important task. Typically, there's a small lever or button under the steering column—that's the unlocking mechanism. Sit in the driver's seat, first ensure a comfortable posture with your arms naturally extended to reach the steering wheel. Then, pull the lever to release the lock, gently push the steering wheel up or down to adjust it to a height where your view isn't obstructed and your arms don't tire—for example, at eye level where you can see the instrument panel clearly. After locking, test its stability. Avoid adjusting while driving, as it can be distracting; also, don't use excessive force, as it may jam. A comfortable position makes long drives easier, and arm fatigue is a common issue. Personally, I readjust it every time someone else drives to maintain safety and ease.
