How to Adjust the Seat Position?
2 Answers
Seat adjustment can be divided into three aspects: front and rear adjustment, up and down adjustment, and backrest adjustment. The following are the specific instructions: 1. Front and rear adjustment: There is a lever in front of the seat. Hold the lever with your right hand, hold the steering wheel with your left hand, keep your left foot steady, and then you can adjust the seat forward or backward. 2. Up and down adjustment: There is an up and down adjustment lever on the left side of the car seat. Press it up or down to adjust the seat height. 3. Backrest adjustment: The lever for backrest adjustment is located on the left side of the backrest. Move the lever forward or backward to adjust the backrest angle.
I'm quite experienced in adjusting seat positions. The worst thing on long drives is back pain. First, adjust the seat height so your eyes can see the front edge of the hood—this gives the best visibility. Then set the backrest angle—not too reclined nor too upright, about 100 degrees is most comfortable, and make sure there's lumbar support to prevent fatigue. The fore-aft distance is crucial: when pressing the brake pedal fully, your right knee should maintain slight flexion, around 120 degrees for optimal safety and comfort. Don't forget the steering wheel! Your arms should be straight when resting your wrists on top of it. The headrest's center must align with the middle of your head to protect your neck in rear-end collisions. If your car has seat memory, be sure to save these settings—one click restores them after others drive. Follow this sequence: height, angle, fore-aft, steering wheel, headrest—all are essential.
