How to Sit Comfortably in the Driving Position

Adjust the distance between the brake, accelerator, legs, and seat to ensure a natural bend between the thigh and calf when fully pressing the brake, clutch, or accelerator. The ideal seat angle is approximately 8 degrees from the vertical, though precise measurement with a protractor isn't necessary—just a general range. Correctly adjust the distance between your arms and the steering wheel by holding it at the 9 and 3 o'clock positions, with the steering wheel positioned downward until your arms are parallel to your shoulders. Adjust the seatbelt height relative to your shoulders—it should never sit below the shoulders and is best positioned 5-10cm above them, passing over the middle of the left collarbone. During normal driving, your head will typically be away from the headrest. The headrest height should be adjusted so that when resting, the middle of the headrest aligns with the middle of your head.
