A vehicle that suits a tall driver may be a poor fit for a short one, and a shared car is usually adjusted by whoever drove it last. Before the household relies on the car, check the driving position for each adult who will drive it, with the seat, steering column, and mirrors set from the start each time.
Start from the model index
Find the model line card in the model index and note which seat, steering, and mirror adjustments that line lists. Then open the model-year library page for the year you are considering, because adjustment ranges and available features can differ from year to year. The card tells you what to look for, and the year page tells you what that line offered in that year.
Set the seat for each driver
Start with the seat fully rearward and lowered if it adjusts that way, then move forward until the driver can reach the pedals with the heel on the floor and the knee still slightly bent. Check that the driver can see the gauges and the road ahead without leaning. Note the track position, the backrest angle, and any height settings, so the next driver can return to a known starting point.
Check the steering wheel and the belt
Adjust the steering wheel reach and height, if the line offers them, and confirm that the hands rest comfortably on the rim with the arms bent. Check the seat belt height adjuster for each driver and confirm that the shoulder belt sits across the shoulder and not against the neck. Confirm that the head restraint can be set to suit each person's head.
Reset the mirrors and any memory settings
Set the mirrors after the seat, because the seat position sets the eye position. If the car has memory settings, save each driver's position under its own key and test that recall returns the right position. Power and memory features differ between lines, so confirm them on the vehicle itself rather than from memory.
Test the setup before the trip
Sit in the car with each adult and work through the list in order. Note any position that needs a compromise, such as a seat that has to sit close to the pedals for a taller driver, and decide whether that compromise is acceptable before the car is needed for a long drive. The owner's manual for the year is the reference for the adjustment ranges.
