    So not the question you might think. I'm wondering if there is anyway to "move" the emergency brake pedal back a little. When I am driving the pedal is pushing on my shin. I know I can move the seat and what not but the most comfortable spot seems to ram my shin into the pedal.

    Ideas?:confused:

    It would seem that if your shin is hitting the parking brake, you must be sitting too close to the steering wheel. Do you have short arms or long legs?

    :lol: I thought I was the only one!

    I have my seat all the way back, and I considered shortening the pedal, but I think I've found a better solution. With my old car I used to put my left foot down beside my right foot resting on the back. Now I just keep my left foot up by the seat, so my leg is basically at a 45degree angle; makes holding the wheel with my left hand far more comfortable.

    Interesting. I am also 5'7", but have long arms and legs for my size.

    One of the problems with the Gen II Prius is the lack of a telescopic steering wheel. I sit a little farther forward than I do with other cars, just to get a comfortable grip on the wheel.

    What seat angle do you use? In your situation I would put the seat all the way up, and move it back a notch.

    what your seat goes up and down?! the only thing i can adjust on my seat is the back rest and moving it closer/further from the steering wheel.
