Seating question and..

I'm a short person. 5'6. How many of you sit where you are able to see all of the buttons in the middle console particularly the buttons on the passenger side of the command touchpad.

I'm wondering should I be sitting up higher. I can't see the tops of any of those buttons :-)

Sit where you feel comfortable and safe to drive. This is a small car and allows for access to those that are shorter. Not sure which buttons youre referring to / unable to see the top of

I'm 6'1 and don't get a good view of the passenger side buttons. Fortunately, aside from the volume roller, I rarely need to use them.

I'm 5'7". The camera button on the lower dash to the left of the steering wheel is hidden from my view. I have to look left and down to make sure I'm pressing it. However, it is only used at about 1-2 mph while entering my garage or a parking place. I can find the start/stop button and volume control by feel without looking. I feel it is more important to have the seat positioned for safe and comfortable driving. I found this web page helpful in positioning my seat. https://www.wikihow.com/Adjust-Seati...-While-Driving

For me (15 C300) the only buttons on the pass side are the power & favorite. Favorite I know by feel, or use the touchpad button. Never felt the need to sit higher for what I can find by feel.
