How to Adjust the Volvo Front Passenger Seat?
2 Answers
There is a lever in front of the seat. Hold the lever with your right hand, grip the steering wheel with your left hand, and keep your left foot steady to adjust the seat forward or backward. For height adjustment, ensure that the driver can see the lower two-thirds of the windshield when looking straight ahead. The height adjustment lever is located on the left side of the seat. For backrest adjustment, adjust until your hands can comfortably grip the steering wheel at the 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock positions. The backrest adjustment lever is located on the left side of the backrest.
When I first bought my Volvo, I also had to figure it out. Adjusting the passenger seat is actually quite intuitive. There's a metal lever under the seat—pull it up to slide the seat forward or backward to find a comfortable position. On the side, there's a round knob or small lever; slowly turning or adjusting it changes the backrest angle, but don't rush to avoid jamming. For electric versions, the buttons are usually on the door panel, labeled with forward/backward arrows and a backrest icon—gentle presses allow precise height or tilt adjustments. Make sure to sit still while adjusting. I also recommend letting passengers adjust it themselves to find the most comfortable position, especially for long trips. Regularly check for loose seat fixtures to extend its lifespan.
