FRONT SEAT PRECAUTIONS

WARNING:

Sitting improperly, out

of position or with the seatback reclined
too far can take weight off the seat
cushion and affect the decision of the
passenger sensing system, resulting in
serious injury or death in the event of a
crash. Always sit upright against your
seat back, with your feet on the floor.

WARNING:

Do not recline the seat

backrest too far as this can cause the
occupant to slide under the seatbelt,
resulting in personal injury in the event
of a crash.

WARNING:

Do not place objects

higher than the top of the seat backrest.
Failure to follow this instruction could
result in personal injury or death in the
event of a sudden stop or crash.

WARNING:

Do not adjust the driver

seat or seat backrest when your vehicle
is moving. This may result in sudden seat
movement, causing the loss of control
of your vehicle.

SITTING IN THE CORRECT
POSITION

E68595

When you use them properly, the seat,
head restraint, seatbelt and airbags will
provide optimum protection in the event
of a crash.

We recommend that you follow these
guidelines:
•

Sit in an upright position with the base
of your spine as far back as possible.

•

Do not recline the seat backrest so that
your torso is more than 30 degrees
from the upright position.

•

Adjust the head restraint so that the
top of it is level with the top of your
head and as far forward as possible.
Make sure that you remain
comfortable.

•

Keep sufficient distance between
yourself and the steering wheel. We
recommend a minimum of 10 in
(25 cm) between your breastbone and
the airbag cover.

•

Hold the steering wheel with your arms
slightly bent.

144

Front Seats

•

Bend your legs slightly so that you can
press the pedals fully.

•

Position the shoulder strap of the
seatbelt over the center of your
shoulder and position the lap strap
tightly across your hips.

Make sure that your driving position is
comfortable and that you can maintain full
control of your vehicle.
