Car seat position adjustment

Many drivers often neglect to adjust the position of the driver's seat before driving. In fact, the correct driving posture can effectively protect the driver's safety. If the seat position is not appropriate, it will affect the driver's vision and the sensitivity of the control, and even cause traffic accidents, hurting yourself and others.

Therefore, the first thing to do before driving is to adjust the height of the driver's seat. The correct seat height should be adjusted so that the driver's vision will not be blocked by the steering wheel, and all important instruments and street signs can be clearly seen. After adjusting the height of the seat, you must also adjust the front and rear position of the seat. First, you should lean your buttocks as far back as possible, preferably between the cushion and the back of the chair, so that you can sit more steadily and not shake. After sitting firmly, you should pay attention to the position of your hands and feet, and put your left and right hands on the steering wheel at 9 and 3 o'clock respectively. At this time, you cannot let your back leave the back of the chair. If you leave, it means that you are sitting too far back and you must move the seat forward. In addition, the two hands should be slightly bent, so that in the event of an accident, the impact force can be effectively dispersed to avoid the force being concentrated on the joints of the arms.
In addition, the position of the left and right feet must be able to keep the legs bent when the pedal is pressed to the bottom. If your legs are straight when you press the pedal to the bottom, you must pull the seat forward a little. It is worth noting that you should not let your knees hit the steering column, and keep a certain distance, otherwise it will affect the movement of your feet and make the reaction untimely.

The seat belt is a very effective safety facility that can effectively alleviate the forward momentum of a person. The seat belt also has its own way of fastening. Generally, the position where the seat belt is pulled down in the car is usually adjustable. The correct position is to adjust it to a position where it is against the B-pillar and at the same or almost the same height as the eyes when the seat belt is not in use. In this way, when the seat belt is buckled, it will just pass through the chest and clavicle. Once a collision occurs, the impact force will not be too concentrated in a certain position, which will injure the passengers.

Adjustment method
The driver's seat of the car is most protective of the waist when the seat surface and backrest are tilted about 100 degrees. This is because when a person leans on a chair back that is tilted 100 degrees, the body is slightly backward, which just fits the natural curve of our waist slightly bent backward, and at this time, the raised part designed at the waist back of the car seat can best reduce the pressure on the waist.

In life, many novice drivers like to adjust the chair back straight, thinking that sitting upright is more effective in training the waist. But in fact, according to our waist curve, the lumbar spine is straight, and the pressure it bears is also the greatest, which is not good for the waist.

Experts suggest that you might as well check your seat back before driving today. If you are afraid that 100 degrees is difficult to grasp, you can first straighten the chair back, and then let the headrest of the chair back about a fist.
