To adjust the seats in a Cruze: 1. Pull the button located at the lower right side of the seat up and down to adjust the seat height; 2. Pull the button at the lower right side of the seat forward and backward to adjust the seat's front and rear position. Taking the Cruze 2018 Automatic Xuanfeng Urban Edition as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4666mm, width 1807mm, height 1460mm, with a wheelbase of 2700mm. It is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, with a maximum horsepower of 114ps, maximum power of kW, maximum torque of 146Nm, and maximum torque speed ranging from 5200 to 6000rpm.

Manually adjusting the Chevrolet Cruze seats is quite straightforward and easy to operate. First, locate the lever under the seat cushion—lifting it allows you to slide the seat forward or backward to position your legs comfortably for pedal operation. On the side, there's a handle: lift it to raise the seat height or press down to lower it, ensuring a clear view through the windshield. At the back of the seat, there's another lever; pull it to recline the backrest, adjusting the angle for proper back support to reduce driving fatigue. These steps apply to basic models—it's recommended to adjust before starting the car for enhanced comfort and reduced fatigue. Manual seats are also low-maintenance; simply clean the tracks and apply grease annually to prevent stiffness. The whole process takes just a minute or two—making it a safe and convenient habit.

When I first adjusted the Cruze seat while driving, I found it quite simple after some exploration. Just lift the lever under the seat cushion and push or pull forcefully to move the seat forward or backward, adjusting to a position where your feet comfortably reach the pedals. Another handle on the side lifts the seat cushion upward for better visibility, which is great for taller individuals, or presses it downward to lower the seat for shorter people. Pull the lever behind the backrest backward to change the backrest angle. I prefer adjusting it slightly upright to reduce lower back discomfort during long drives. This method is beginner-friendly and requires no professional tools—just a few tries to get the hang of it. After adjustment, don’t forget to test the comfort of the seat belt and ensure it works well with the seat for safety. Regularly check the tracks to prevent rust from affecting usability—it’s economical and hassle-free.

Safe driving starts with proper seat adjustment. Cruze manual seat adjustment: Pull the lever under the seat cushion to slide forward or backward until the accelerator pedal is lightly touched; Raise the side handle to adjust the height for a clear view of the road conditions; Pull the backrest lever to set an appropriate angle for back support to prevent fatigue. After fixing the position, check for no shaking to ensure body stability during emergency braking. After adjustment, sit naturally with elbows slightly bent for accurate steering wheel control. It is recommended to confirm the position before each drive to avoid increased risk of distracted accidents. Proper setup reduces cervical pressure for safer and longer drives.
