Make sure that your driving position  
is comfortable and that you can  
maintain full control of your vehicle.  
WARNINGS  
Do not adjust the seats when  
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.  
We recommend that you:  
2
sit in an upright position with the  
base of your spine as far back as  
possible.  
2
do not recline the seatback more  
than 30 degrees.  
1
adjust the head restraint so that  
the top of it is level with the top of  
your head and as far forwards as  
possible, remaining comfortable.
