Mazda emphasizes the importance of achieving an ideal driving position to ensure safety, comfort, and driving pleasure. The “ideal driving position” focuses on ergonomics and control to enhance the driving experience. Here’s a breakdown based on Mazda’s recommendations for achieving the ideal driving position:
1. Adjust the Seat
- Seat Height: Adjust the seat height so that you have a clear view of the road and the dashboard. Your hips should be level with or slightly above the height of the steering wheel.
- Seat Position: Position the seat so that you can comfortably reach the pedals with your legs slightly bent. Your knees should be slightly bent with your feet flat on the floor.
- Seat Backrest: Adjust the backrest so that it supports your lower back and maintains a comfortable angle. It should be set at a slight recline to ensure a natural, relaxed posture.
