How to Adjust the Seat for Subject 2?
2 Answers
Subject 2 seat adjustment requires attention to the following key points: 1. Seat Height Adjustment: When adjusting the seat, ensure there is at least a fist's distance between your head and the car roof to avoid hitting your head when the car bumps. 2. Seat Backrest Adjustment: Adjust the angle between the seat and backrest to 100°-110°. A 110° angle means sitting upright with two fists' distance between your lower back and the backrest. 3. Seat Front-Rear Adjustment: While adjusting, hold the steering wheel at the 9 o'clock position with your arms slightly bent. Ensure you can see all the interior views comfortably with the steering wheel. 4. Headrest Adjustment: The headrest position is crucial. If not adjusted properly, inertia may cause your head to hit the headrest. Both excessively high and low headrest positions can cause varying degrees of injury.
When I was learning to drive, my instructor said that adjusting the seat is the key to passing the second subject of the driving test. Press the clutch pedal all the way down with your left foot, then move your hips back and forth until your knees are naturally bent at about 130 degrees, making sure your thighs don’t fully press against the front edge of the seat. Next, adjust the backrest angle—the standard is that when your shoulder blades are against the backrest, your wrists should rest on the top of the steering wheel. Don’t neglect the height adjustment either; your line of sight should extend over the top third of the steering wheel. Shorter individuals can use a cushion. Finally, always fasten your seatbelt and test it—does it feel too tight on your shoulders or waist? Getting this wrong can cause your body to tilt during reverse parking, leading to misalignment. Remember to readjust every time a new driver uses the seat—someone failed their test last time because of this small detail.
