Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Correctly setting up the driving position is a key element for active safety and driver ergonomics, especially in heavy vehicles where many hours are spent at the wheel. When adjusting the seat, both the height and the longitudinal distance to the steering wheel and the pedals must be adjusted. This distance must allow the clutch (or brake) pedal to be pressed fully while keeping the leg slightly bent (without extending it completely) and the steering wheel to be held with the arms slightly bent, to avoid fatigue and ensure full control of the vehicle in any emergency maneuver. By contrast, the distance between the clutch pedal and the brake pedal is an invariable mechanical design value that does not depend on the seat adjustment.
