You can learn how to make the best use of a car's safety features in just 20 minutes. Is your driver's seat correctly positioned for the best view and to best operate all of the car's controls? Do you know how to adjust the seat? Is your lap belt properly positioned for comfort and safety in a crash? Is the shoulder belt in the right position for comfort and safety? How far should you sit from the steering wheel for best air bag protection? What is the best angle for the steering wheel? Are you aware that it is adjustable and do you know how to adjust it? What is the best position for the head rest and do you know how to adjust it?

Car Fit is sponsored by the American Association of Retired Persons, American Automobile Association, and American Occupational Therapists Association and staffed by trained volunteer technicians to make driving easier and safer, especially for older drivers.
