is comfortable and that you can  
maintain full control of your vehicle.  
WARNINGS

the vehicle is moving.  
MANUAL SEATS  
Only when you use the seat belt  
properly, can it hold you in a  
position that allows the airbag to  
achieve its optimum effect.  
Moving the seats  
backwards and forwards  
When you use them properly, the  
seat, head restraint, seat belt and  
airbags will provide optimum  
protection in the event of a collision.

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

do not recline the seatback more  
than 30 degrees.
