Adjusting the Front Seats
Always make seat adjustments before driving.
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 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.

ample space between your chest and
