Safety precautions  
WARNING  
To reduce the risk of serious injury or  
death from an inflating air bag, take the  
following precautions:  
śꢀ Adjust the driver’s seat as far to the  
rear as possible while maintaining  
the ability to control the vehicle.  
Adjusting the seats so that you are sitting  
in a safe and comfortable position plays  
an important role for the safety of the  
driver and passengers, along with seat  
belts and air bags when in an accident.  
WARNING  
śꢀ Adjust the front passenger seat as far  
to the rear as possible.  
Do not use a cushion that reduces  
friction between the seat and the  
passenger. The passenger’s hips may  
slide under the lap portion of the seat  
belt during an accident or a sudden  
stop.  
śꢀ Hold the steering wheel by the rim  
with your hands at the 9 o’clock and  
3 o’clock positions to minimize the  
risk of injuries to your hands and  
arms.  
Serious or fatal internal injuries could  
result because the seat belt cannot  
operate properly.  
śꢀ NEVER place anything or anyone  
between you and the air bag.  
śꢀ Do not allow the front passenger to  
place feet or legs on the dashboard  
to minimize the risk of leg injuries.  
Air bags  
You can take steps to reduce the risk  
of being injured by an inflating air bag.  
Sitting too close to an air bag greatly  
increases the risk of injury in the event  
the air bag inflates.  
The National Highway Traffic Safety  
Administration (NHTSA) recommends  
that drivers allow at least 10 inches  
(25cm) between the center of the  
steering wheel and their chest.  
Seat belts  
Always fasten your seat belt before  
starting any trip. At all times, passengers  
should sit upright and be properly  
restrained. Infants and small children  
must be restrained in appropriate Child  
Restraint Systems. Children who have  
outgrown a booster seat and adults must  
be restrained using the seat belts.  
WARNING  
Take the following precautions when  
adjusting your seat belt:  
śꢀ NEVER use one seat belt for more  
than one occupant.  
śꢀ Always position the seatback upright  
with the lap portion of the seat belt  
snug and low across the hips.  
śꢀ NEVER allow children or small infants  
to ride on a passenger’s lap.  
śꢀ Do not route the seat belt across your  
neck, across sharp edges, or reroute  
the shoulder strap away from your  
body.  
śꢀ Do not allow the seat belt to become  
caught or jammed.

Front seats  
WARNING  
Take the following precautions when  
adjusting your seat:  
śꢀ NEVER attempt to adjust the seat  
while the vehicle is moving. The seat  
could respond with unexpected  
movement and may cause loss  
of vehicle control resulting in an  
accident.  
CAUTION  
To prevent injury:  
śꢀ Do not adjust your seat while  
wearing your seat belt. Moving the  
seat cushion forward may cause  
strong pressure on your abdomen.  
śꢀ Do not allow your hands or fingers to  
get caught in the seat mechanisms  
while the seat is moving.  
śꢀ Do not place anything under the  
front seats. Loose objects in the  
driver’s foot area could interfere  
with the operation of the foot pedals,  
causing an accident.  
śꢀ Do not allow anything to interfere  
with the normal position and proper  
locking of the seatback.  
śꢀ Do not place a cigarette lighter on  
the floor or seat. When you operate  
the seat, gas may exit out of the  
lighter causing a fire.  
śꢀ Use extreme caution when picking  
up small objects trapped under the  
seats or between the seat and the  
center console. Your hands might be  
cut or injured by the sharp edges of  
the seat mechanism.  
śꢀ If there are occupants in the rear  
seats, be careful while adjusting the  
front seat position.  
śꢀ Make sure that the seat is locked in  
place after the adjustment. If not,  
the seat might move unexpectedly  
resulting in an accident.
