Adjusting the Seats

Make seat adjustments before driving to ensure the best comfort and safety.
Adjusting the Front Seats
Adjust the driver's seat as far back as possible while
allowing you to maintain full control of the vehicle.
You should be able to sit upright and well back in the
seat, adequately press the pedals without leaning
forward, and grip the steering wheel comfortably.
The passenger's seat should be adjusted in a similar
manner, so that it is as far back from the front airbag
in the dashboard as possible.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Transport Canada
recommend that drivers allow at least 10 inches (25 cm) between the center of the
steering wheel and the chest.
