First, adjust seating position within comfortable reach of pedals.

How? - see CAR CONTROLS section – Pedals above.

 

Then adjust the steering wheel height for your hands to rest comfortably on its upper half.

 

To adjust the wheel, in a parked car push down the lock release lever, and tilt the steering wheel to the angle where your hands rest comfortably on its upper half with elbows slightly bent when your shoulders are against the back of the seat. With the properly adjusted seat and steering, when you place your wrist on the top of the steering wheel at 12 hours, you still maintain a slight bent in the elbow. Positioning yourself too close to the wheel or too far from it impairs efficiency of steering.

 

Lock the wheel by pushing the lever up to its original position.
Try moving the steering wheel up and down to make sure it has locked securely.
