Also, ensure you can thoroughly see all the warning lights and the instrument cluster after the height adjustment. This will ensure that in case of a collision, the airbag will provide maximum protection and reduce the risk of injury. The steering wheel needs to be pointed towards your chest, not the head. If you have put the lever of the steering wheel column back in place, pull it once more.
Ensure the driving posture is not putting any pressure on the shoulders and arms because the steering wheel is too high or low. It is equally important that you adjust the steering wheel's height to match your own height and driving posture. Whenever you feel the adjustment is made, either push the lever back or move on to adjust the height. Push or pull the steering wheel to change its depth.
Once the lever is down, make the adjustments. Look below the wheel to the steering column and pull the lever there. Whenever you move your hands to correct the wheel position, your arms should bend slightly. The steering wheel needs to be positioned in a manner so that when you are sitting comfortably on the seat with your back fully rested against it, your hands should be resting on top of the wheel.
