comfortable.

Do not recline the seat backrest too

far as this can cause the occupant

to slide under the safety belt,

resulting in serious injury in the event of a

crash.

•

Keep sufficient distance between

yourself and the steering wheel. We

recommend a minimum of 10 inches

(25 centimeters) between your

breastbone and the airbag cover.

Sitting improperly, out of position or

with the seat backrest reclined too

far, can result in serious injury or

death in the event of a crash. Always sit

upright against your seat backrest, with

your feet on the floor.

•

Hold the steering wheel with your arms

slightly bent.

Bend your legs slightly so that you can

press the pedals fully.

Position the shoulder strap of the

safety belt over the center of your

shoulder and position the lap strap

tightly across your hips.

Do not place objects higher than the

seat backrest to reduce the risk of

serious injury in the event of a crash

or during heavy braking.

Make sure that your driving position is

comfortable and that you can maintain full

control of your vehicle.

HEAD RESTRAINTS

WARNINGS

Fully adjust the head restraint before

you sit in or operate your vehicle. This

will help minimize the risk of neck

injury in the event of a crash. Do not adjust

the head restraint when your vehicle is

moving.

The adjustable head restraint is a

safety device. Whenever possible it

should be installed and correctly

help minimize the risk of neck injury

in the event of a crash.

Sit in an upright position with the base

of your spine as far back as possible.
