Once seated and the seat is adjusted, what must the driver do before fastening the seatbelt?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct order for settling into the driving position is crucial for safety and ergonomics. The logical sequence is: Adjust the seat (distance and backrest). Adjust the headrest. Adjust the rear-view mirrors. Fasten the seatbelt. The correct answer is to adjust the rear-view mirrors. This must be done before fastening the seatbelt; otherwise, the restraint of the belt would limit the natural body movements required to correctly adjust the mirrors (especially the right one) and controls. Checking the oil is a maintenance task performed with the engine off and cold, not during the seating phase.
