How to Adjust the Seat Height of the Fit?
2 Answers
To adjust the seat height of the Fit, follow these steps: The seat adjustment handle is located on the side of the seat near the door, featuring two movable levers. The front lever adjusts the height, while the rear one adjusts the backrest's tilt. Using a static horizontal line as a reference, pulling the lever upward raises the seat, and pushing it downward lowers the seat. Before driving, ensure the seat position is properly adjusted, followed by the rearview mirror and steering wheel. The ideal seat position is achieved when your right leg is slightly bent naturally while fully depressing the accelerator, brake, or clutch pedal, indicating the correct fore-and-aft distance. The Fit is a compact car produced by GAC Honda, featuring a MacPherson strut front suspension, a torsion beam rear suspension, front ventilated disc brakes, and rear drum brakes.
When I first got my Fit, I also spent quite some time figuring it out. There's a silver or black elongated handle under the driver's seat that you can easily reach by hand. Pulling it upward raises the seat, while pushing it downward lowers it. Adjust the height gradually until it feels right, then release to lock it in place. Remember not to lean your body on the seat while adjusting—lift yourself slightly to allow the seat to move more smoothly. Some older Fit models use a round knob on the side of the seat; turning it clockwise or counterclockwise slowly allows for fine height adjustments. The optimal height is when you can just see the edge of the hood—this position provides good visibility for turning and lane changes, and also makes it easier to see the instrument panel.
