FRONT SEAT PRECAUTIONS

SITTING IN THE CORRECT

POSITION

WARNING: Sitting improperly, out

of position or with the seatback reclined

too far can take weight off the seat

cushion and affect the decision of the

passenger sensing system, resulting in

serious injury or death in the event of a

crash. Always sit upright against your

seat back, with your feet on the floor.

WARNING: Do not recline the seat

backrest too far as this can cause the

occupant to slide under the seatbelt,

resulting in personal injury in the event

of a crash.

E68595

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.

Do not recline the seat backrest so that

your torso is more than 30 degrees

from the upright position.

•

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.

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.
