As we age, many of us lose a few inches due to osteoporosis. For those of us already shorter in stature, a few inches can make it more difficult to reach the pedals without being too close to the airbag or see above the steering wheel. A few new features in vehicles help individuals make adjustments necessary to improve their safety and comfort.
..adjustable foot pedals for the brake and accelerator help smaller drivers reach pedals, yet maintain a safe distance from the airbag mounted in the steering wheel hub.
..tilt and telescoping steering wheel helps ensure drivers can be positioned at least 10 inches from the front airbag.
..six-way adjustable seats upward adjustments help drivers obtain a line of sight above the steering wheel. |
