How to Adjust the Front Seats in Your Car

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Seat

On almost all car models, the adjustment of the front seats is similar, if not identical. The first adjustment is to raise or lower the seat: to do this, find a lever next to the seat that, when pulled upwards, will raise the seat itself (and vice versa when lowering the lever). Next, there is the adjustment of the backrest angle: for this, you usually find a knob on the other side of the seat, which when turned in one direction will increase the angle and decrease it in the other direction. Finally, under the seat, at the front, there is usually another lever: pulling this will allow you to move the seat closer to or further away from the steering wheel.
