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.

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.

•

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.

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.

HEAD RESTRAINTS

WARNING: 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.

When you use them properly, the seat,

head restraint, seatbelt and airbags will

provide optimum protection in the event

of a crash.
