Seats

Using the driving position set up procedure recommended by Mazda allows you to maintain a relaxed posture, drive the vehicle for longer periods without feeling tyred, and make quick operations naturally.

Also, you can be assured of a clear view in the forward direction to drive in safety and comfort.

The adjustments for the driving position recommended by Mazda are done using the following procedures.

1. Moving the steering wheel and seat to their default positions.

2. Adjusting the seatback angle.

3. Adjusting the seat position forward and back.

4. Adjusting the steering wheel position.

Seat Slide

Make sure the lever returns to its original position and the seat is locked in place by attempting to push it forward and backward.

Seat Recline

To change the seatback angle, lean forward slightly while raising the lever. Then lean back to the desired position and release the lever.

Seat adjustment procedure for the driving position recommended by Mazda

Adjusting the seatback angle (reclining)

Adjust the seatback to the angle providing a comfortable seated posture.

1. With your posture slightly slouched, move the seatback forward to the angle where your waist feels slightly cramped.

   

2. Move the seatback backward to a comfortable seated posture without any feeling of cramping in your waist.

   

Adjusting the seat position forward and back (sliding)

Adjust the seat to the position best for operating the accelerator and brake pedals.

1. Place your left foot on the footrest, your right foot between the accelerator and brake pedals, and position your heel to the position allowing easy switching between the pedals.

2. With your heel set on the floor, set your right foot on the brake pedal and move the seat forward as far as possible until you feel a slight cramping in your ankle.

   

3. With your right foot set on the brake pedal, move the seat back until you no longer feel cramping in your ankle.

4. With your heel set on the floor, make sure you can move your foot between the brake pedal and accelerator pedal smoothly.

5. Depress the accelerator pedal completely with your heel set on the floor and make sure that your ankle does not feel over-stretched.

   

Adjusting the steering wheel position

Adjust the steering wheel to the position where it can be operated easily and the gauges can be viewed easily.

1. With your back resting against the seatback, extend both arms, place them on the top of the steering wheel, and pull the steering wheel towards you to the position of your wrists.

   

2. Adjust the steering wheel height so that the gauges can be viewed easily.

3. Raise the lever to securely lock the steering wheel.
