WARNINGmargin of safety. This distance is measured from the center of the steering wheel toyour breastbone. If your current driving position places you less than 10 in. (250 mm)
away from the driver airbag, you can change your driving position in several ways:
R Move your seat to the rear as far as possible while still being able to reach the
pedals comfortably.
R Slightly recline the seatback. Although vehicle designs vary, many drivers can
achieve the 10 in. (251 mm) distance, even with the driver seat all the way forward,simply by reclining the seatback somewhat. If reclining the seatback makes it hardto see the road, raise yourself by using a firm, non-slippery cushion, or raise the seat
if your vehicle has that feature.
R If your steering wheel is adjustable, tilt it downward. This points the airbag toward
your chest instead of your head and neck. The seat should be adjusted as recom-
mended by the NHTSA, while still being able to control the vehicle with the pedals and steering wheel, and maintaining your view of the instrument panel controls.
