1Adjusting the Seat-Backs

Adjusting the Seat-Backs

■

Adjust the driver’s seat-back to a comfortable,

upright position, leaving ample space

between your chest and the airbag cover in

the center of the steering wheel.

3

WARNING

Reclining the seat-back too far can result in

serious injury or death in a crash.

Adjust the seat-back to an upright position,

and sit well back in the seat.

The front seat passenger should also adjust

their seat-back to a comfortable, upright

position.

Do not put a cushion, or other object, between the

seat-back and your back.

Reclining a seat-back so that the shoulder part of the belt no longer rests against the

occupant’s chest reduces the protective capability of the belt. It also increases the

chance of sliding under the belt in a crash and being seriously injured. The farther a

seat-back is reclined, the greater the risk of injury.

Doing so may interfere with proper seat belt or airbag

operation.

If you cannot get far enough away from the steering

wheel and still reach the controls, we recommend

that you investigate whether some type of adaptive

equipment may help.

uuSeatsuMaintain a Proper Sitting Position

Maintain a Proper Sitting Position

After all occupants have adjusted their seats and head restraints, and put on their

seat belts, it is very important that they continue to sit upright, well back in their

seats, with their feet on the floor, until the vehicle is safely parked and the power

system is off.

1Maintain a Proper Sitting Position

3

WARNING

Sitting improperly or out of position can

result in serious injury or death in a crash.

Sitting improperly can increase the chance of injury during a crash. For example, if

an occupant slouches, lies down, turns sideways, sits forward, leans forward or

sideways, or puts one or both feet up, the chance of injury during a crash is greatly

increased.

Always sit upright, well back in the seat,

with your feet on the floor.

In addition, an occupant who is out of position in the front seat can be seriously or

fatally injured in a crash by striking interior parts of the vehicle or being struck by an

inflating front airbag.

impact crash injuries when the center of the

back of the occupant’s head rests against the

center of the restraint. The tops of the

Improperly positioning head restraints

reduces their effectiveness and increases

the likelihood of serious injury in a crash.

of the head restraint.

In order for the head restraint system to work
