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 recommends that drivers allow at least 10 inches (25 cm) between the center of the steering wheel and the chest.
