How to adjust the seat height of the Roewe i5?
3 Answers
Roewe i5 adjusts the seat height by operating the seat adjustment keys. The driver's seat adjustment controls are generally located on the left side of the seat, near the door. For manual adjustment, the height adjustment is usually at the corner between the backrest and the seat surface on the left rear side of the seat, with some models using a lever for up and down adjustment. Here are some precautions for seat adjustment: 1. The appropriate height is a prerequisite for obtaining a good driving view, and height adjustment is usually the first step in seat adjustment. 2. During adjustment, ensure there is at least a fist's distance between the head and the car roof.
Adjusting the seat height is something I frequently do in my Roewe i5. For the manual adjustment version, you'll find a small metal lever on the outer side of the seat while sitting in the driver's position. First, adjust to a roughly comfortable position, then lift the lever and push the seat upward to raise or pull downward to lower it until you hear a slight click indicating it's locked in place. The key is to find a height where your eyes are level with the steering wheel, ensuring an unobstructed view of the road ahead while driving. Also, maintain a comfortable distance between your legs and the pedals—avoid overextending or bending your feet too much for safety. For the electric version, it's even simpler: just press and hold the up arrow button next to the center console to raise the seat or the down arrow to lower it. After adjusting the height, don't forget to test the seat's forward/backward sliding and backrest tilt to ensure a comfortable driving posture that won't cause fatigue during long trips. I make it a habit to quickly adjust my seat before refueling to maintain comfort and prevent backaches. Always remember to adjust only when the car is completely stationary—never while driving, as it can be dangerously distracting.
It's been almost a year since I started driving the Roewe i5, and I've long mastered the seat height adjustment. When I first got the car, I spent quite some time testing it in the driver's seat. The manual adjustment lever is located right next to my left leg, super easy to find—just pull it up and push the seat up or down. Pushing it up a bit gives a higher seating position, making it feel like driving an SUV with a much broader view; pulling it down suits shorter people, like my wife when she's in the car. After adjusting, I always move my legs and waist to test if it fits my body properly—never too high to bump my head on the roof or too low to reach the pedals. For the electric version, the button is on the door panel—just press it for smooth automatic adjustment. Getting the seat height right makes driving much more enjoyable, especially on long highway trips where it eases eye strain for distant views. Once, I adjusted too quickly and the lever got stuck—turns out it was due to excessive force or dust under the seat. Now, I regularly clean the seat tracks and add some lubricant. Every time I adjust, I also check the seatbelt and posture to ensure safety comes first.
