Adjusting the Seats

Front Seats

Adjust the driver’s seat as far back as possible
while allowing you to maintain full control of
the vehicle. You should be able to sit upright,
well back in the seat and be able to
adequately press the pedals without leaning
forward, and grip the steering wheel
comfortably. The passenger’s seat should be
adjusted in a similar manner, so that it is as far
back from the front airbag in the dashboard
as possible.

■

Adjusting the front power seats

Adjusting the Seats

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
and Transport Canada recommend that drivers allow
at least 10 inches (25 cm) between the center of the
steering wheel and the chest.

Always make seat adjustments before driving.

WARNING

Sitting too close to a front airbag can result
in serious injury or death if the front
airbags inflate.

Always sit as far back from the front
airbags as possible while maintaining
control of the vehicle.

Move back.

Allow sufficient
space.

Adjust the driver’s seat-back to a comfortable,
upright position, leaving ample space
between your chest and the airbag cover in
the center of the steering wheel.

The front seat passenger should also adjust
their seat-back to a comfortable, upright
position.

Reclining a seat-back so that the shoulder part of the belt no longer rests against the
occupant’s chest reduces the protective capability of the belt. It also increases the
chance of sliding under the belt in a crash and being seriously injured. The farther a
seat-back is reclined, the greater the risk of injury.

■

Adjusting the Seat-Backs

Adjusting the Seat-Backs

Do not put a cushion, or other object, between the
seat-back and your back.

Doing so may interfere with proper seat belt or airbag
operation.

If you cannot get far enough away from the steering
wheel and still reach the controls, we recommend
that you investigate whether some type of adaptive
equipment may help.

WARNING

Reclining the seat-back too far can result in
serious injury or death in a crash.

Adjust the seat-back to an upright position,
and sit well back in the seat.

WARNING

An unsecured seat or seat-back can move
out of position or collapse without warning
if there is sudden acceleration or stop or in

A seat or seat-back that suddenly moves or
collapses can result in severe injury or
death.

Always make sure all seats and seat-backs
are securely locked into position before
driving.

driving. Before center occupant use, make sure the
