Seat position before mirrorsThis was the right answer

Set the seat and steering position before adjusting the mirrors, because moving the seat changes your view. Complete all the other preparation checks too, including doors, restraints and controls. Keep the car safely secured throughout; this is not a universal order for every cockpit check.
