dangerous. If the steering wheel moves
unexpectedly while driving, you could
lose control of the steering resulting in
an accident.
Lower the lever, move the steering
wheel to the lowest position, and then
push it down and all the way back.
How to move a driver’s seat to its
default position
1. Slide the seat all the way back.
2. Lower the seat to its lowest height.
3. Lower the front edge of the seat bottom to its lowest height.
