How to Adjust the Steering Wheel Most Appropriately?
1 Answers
The adjustment of the steering wheel varies depending on each individual's body type, height, and weight. The goal is to ensure the driver is seated comfortably while also facilitating easy driving. Below are the key points for adjusting the steering wheel: 1. Keep your knees slightly bent so you can easily and freely press the pedals. If your legs are completely straight, it not only affects the flexibility of operation but also increases the risk of leg injuries in the event of a collision. 2. Maintain a slight bend in your elbows; neither too straight nor too bent is ideal. Your arms should naturally extend forward with your wrists just resting on the top edge of the steering wheel, allowing your arms to have some bend while driving for better vehicle control. 3. When seated, straighten your back so it lightly touches the backrest. Adjust the headrest accordingly, ensuring about two fingers' distance between the back of your head and the headrest for optimal cushioning effect. 4. Align the steering wheel. With your arms stretched straight over the top of the steering wheel, your wrists should just rest on the edge of the wheel, indicating the steering wheel is correctly adjusted.
