part 2(Eight points for correct sitting)

1.Press the base of your spine back until it is in contact with the back of the seat. The distance from the edge of the seat to the pedals should be adjusted so that your knees are slightly bent when the pedals are fully depressed. 

2.Press your shoulders back as firmly as possible against the seat back. The angle of

the seat back should be set so that you can reach the steering wheel comfortably with

your elbows slightly bent. Shoulder contact must be maintained when turning the steering

wheel.

3.Set the seat height as high as possible.This ensures a clear view of the

instruments and good all round vision.

 

4.Adjust the seat cushion tilt so that the pedals can be depressed easily. Your thighs should

rest lightly upon the seat cushion, without undue pressure. Check the seat back angle

before moving off.

5.Set the length of the seat so that your thighs are supported to just above your knees. Rule

of thumb: 2 – 3 fingers' width gap between the edge of the seat and the back of your knees.

 

6.The RECARO Airmatic lumbar system is correctly adjusted when your lower spine is

supported in its natural position.

 

7.The side bolsters of the seat should be so close that your upper body is supported comfortably

at the sides without undue pressure

8.The top of the head rest should be set to exactly the same height as the top of your head.

Tilt: the distance to the back of your head should be approx. 2 cm.

To a certain degrees, there are direct relationships between comfort and vehicle safety. All aspects that contribute to a more comfortable drive also help to reduce accidents. It includes:-

•   Comfortable entry and egress from the vehicle
•  The entrance and seat not too low above the road
•  Good adjustable seat
•  Seat back with lumbar support
•  Seat-belt latches on the seat
•  Height adjustment of the upper anchorage point
•  Vertically and horizontally adjustable steering wheels
