POSITION

of your spine as far back as possible.
•
Do not recline the seat backrest so that
your torso is more than 30 degree from
the upright position.
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.

top of it is level with the top of your
head and as far forward as possible.

Hold the steering wheel with your arms
slightly bent.
Bend your legs slightly so that you can
press the pedals fully.

seatbelt over the center of your

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.
WARNING: Raise the rear head
restraints when passengers occupy the
rear seats.
