Comfort, ease of control of the machine and, as a result, traffic safety on the road depend on the correct position of the driver behind the wheel. It is necessary to adjust the driver's seat in accordance with certain rules.
Instructions
Step 1
Sit in the driver's seat. Extend your legs by taking out the pedals. Press down on the clutch pedal with your left foot. The knee angle should be about 120 °.
Step 2
Press down on the seat adjustment knob, located on the side under the seat cushion on the door side. Pull it towards you and move the seat back and forth. Find the best seat position for you. Release the handle. The seat will be secured.
Step 3
Adjust the backrest position. It should not have a large slope, as this impairs the protective properties of the seat belt. To adjust, first place your hands on the steering wheel of the vehicle. Lean your back against the back of the chair. Adjust the inclination of the backrest by turning the handle located at the bottom of the backrest on the side of the door until an angle of about 120 ° is obtained at the elbows.
Step 4
Adjust the seat headrest for tilt and height. In this case, the upper part of the headrest cushion should be flush with the upper edge of the auricle. The headrest can be adjusted with both hands at the same time: to raise it, pull it up. Press the release button to lower it.
Step 5
Adjust the driver's seat cushion for height if you feel that you are positioned too low. Make changes by turning the adjuster located on the left side of the seat cushion base. Some vehicles may be equipped with an electrically adjustable driver's seat. Its switches should be located on the left side of the seat cushion base.
Step 6
Check for correct fit. The spine should fit snugly against the back of the seat. Place your left hand on the steering wheel above its horizontal axis and your right hand on the gear shift lever. In doing so, you should easily reach all switches and levers without being uncomfortable.
Step 7
Relax your legs. Raise your feet - with proper adjustment, you should do this without tension. Step on the pedals, check your feelings - whether it is convenient or comfortable for you to do it. If all the steps to adjust the seat are done correctly, then when driving a car you will not feel fatigue for a long time.
