Toyota Tacoma (2005–2015) Owners Manual: Correct driving posture
Drive in a good posture as follows:
Sit upright and well back in the

Adjust the seatback so that the
controls are easily operable.
Adjust the tilt and telescopic positions
of the steering wheel downward so the airbag is facing your chest.
Lock the head restraint in place
with the center of the head restraint closest to the top of your ears.
Wear the seat belt correctly.
