How to Adjust Lexus Steering Wheel

When you first purchase your Lexus car, one of the most important things to do is to ensure that your Lexus is adjusted in a way that best suits your physical body, so that the process of operating the car will go as smoothly and comfortably as possible. One of the most important things to adjust is obviously the thing with which you will steer the car: the steering wheel! Once your steering wheel is in the appropriate position, you shouldn’t have a problem operating your vehicle. So, let us tell you about how you may adjust your Lexus steering wheel.

Making Adjustments to Your Seat

Before you even get started on adjusting the steering wheel, you must make the necessary adjustments to the seat. If this is not done, the steering wheel could be too close to your body and the pedals could be too far away.

Operate the lever on the side of the seat to adjust the seat height so that you have a clear view of the road both behind and ahead. Further adjust the seat’s position with a lever or bar at the seat’s bottom. You should have easy access to the car’s pedals.

Adjusting Steering Wheel Depth

The steering wheel must be adjusted such that when you are sitting back, you can comfortably rest your hands on it. Your arms should be slightly bent.

To change the wheel’s depth, use the lever below the steering wheel. When this lever has been activated, you will be able to adjust the depth of the wheel.

Make sure that your hands are kept on the steering wheel. Pull or push to makes changes to the depth. If you find that the wheel is excessively close to your body, push the wheel away from you. If it is too far away, pull the wheel towards your body.

When you find that you are satisfied with the wheel depth, you can get started on making adjustments to the height of the wheel.

Adjusting Steering Wheel Height

It is crucial for you to adjust the steering wheel’s height in a way that suits both your posture and your height. You should not have to tense your arms and shoulders while you are in the process of driving.

Pull the lever under the steering wheel once again to make this adjustment. The steering wheel must be angled in the direction of your chest (at a distance of about 10 inches), and not in the direction of your head. This is so that the airbag can best protect you in the event of an accident.

As the height is being adjusted, ensure that you are still able to see every single one of the warning symbols and lights as well as instrument gauges that are in front of you on the panel. If they are being blocked from view by the steering wheel, move the wheel up or down.

When this is done, put the lever back in its initial position. Ensure that this adjustment is secure by attempting to move the wheel down or up.
