How to adjust the seat height of the Tiguan?

The method to adjust the seat height of the Tiguan is: adjust the horizontal rectangular button on the side of the seat, push it up or down to adjust the height, and push it forward or backward to adjust the position. The Tiguan is a compact SUV under Volkswagen. Taking the 2017 Tiguan as an example, its exterior dimensions are: length 4506 mm, width 1809 mm, height 1685 mm, and wheelbase 2684 mm. The 2017 Tiguan is equipped with a 1.8-liter turbocharged engine, with a maximum torque of 250 Nm and a torque range of 1500 to 4500 rpm, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
Last time I drove my friend's Tiguan, I realized how much poorly adjusted seats can affect driving. There's a square adjustment handle on the left side of the driver's seat, located beneath the seat surface near the door. It's very simple to operate: lift the handle upward to raise the seat, and apply body weight downward to lower it. I've noticed that making small adjustments gradually - about three or four minor movements - provides the most comfort. What's the ideal height? I find that keeping a fist's distance between your head and the roof, with thighs fully supported on the seat surface, prevents leg numbness during long drives. Whenever friends of different heights drive my car, I always remind them to adjust the seat first before checking the mirrors. I remember once giving a tall colleague a ride - after he adjusted the seat, he couldn't even see the dashboard and had to readjust.
