Vehicle Ergonomics can be simply defined as the ease and comfort with which the driver and occupants inside the passenger cell can access and use the vehicle controls or features. Ergonomics takes into consideration the ease of operating the vehicle and the comfort levels offered in terms of positioning of the controls and seating comfort as well. The research aimed to find statistically whether the controls and features inside the passenger compartment are within the anthropometric hand reach distance. The research was done by standardizing the driving position using SAE H-point standard document J4004 to fabricate an H-point tool to place each of the test cars seat according to standard dimensions. Therefore, the distances from both shoulder points of driver were taken into consideration.
