SITTING IN THE CORRECT
POSITION
WARNINGS
Do not adjust the seats when the
vehicle is moving.
Only when you use the seat belt
properly, can it hold you in a position
that allows the airbag to achieve its
optimum effect. When you use them properly, the seat,
head restraint, seat belt and airbags will
provide optimum protection in the event
of a collision. We recommend that you:
•
sit in an upright position with the base
of your spine as far back as possible.
• do not recline the seatback more than
30 degrees.
• adjust the head restraint so that the
top of it is level with the top of your
head and as far forwards as possible,
remaining comfortable.
• keep sufficient distance between
yourself and the steering wheel. We
recommend a minimum of 250
millimetres (10 inches) between your
breastbone and the airbag cover. •
hold the steering wheel with your arms
slightly bent.
• bend your legs slightly so that you can
press the pedals fully.
• position the shoulder strap of the seat
belt over the centre of your shoulder
and position the lap strap tightly
across your hips.
Make sure that your driving position is
comfortable and that you can maintain full
control of your vehicle.
HEAD RESTRAINTS
Adjusting the head restraint WARNINGS
Raise the rear head restraint when
the rear seat is occupied by a
passenger.
When using a forward facing child
restraint on a rear seat, always
remove the head restraint from that
seat. Adjust the head restraint so that the top
of it is level with the top of your head.
Removing the head restraint
Press the locking buttons and remove the
head restraint.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Disc brakes
Wet brake discs result in reduced braking
efficiency. Dab the brake pedal when
driving from a car wash to remove the film
of water.
ABS
WARNING
The ABS does not relieve you of
your responsibility to drive with due
care and attention.
The ABS helps you to maintain full steering
and directional stability when you brake
heavily in an emergency, by preventing
the road wheels from locking.
HINTS ON DRIVING WITH
ABS
When the ABS is operating, the brake
pedal will pulse. This is normal. Maintain
pressure on the brake pedal.
The ABS will not eliminate the dangers
inherent when:
•
you drive too close to the vehicle in
front of you.
• the vehicle is aquaplaning.
• you take corners too fast.
• the road surface is poor. PARKING BRAKE

driven through water to a maximum depth
of 200 mm and at a maximum speed of
10 km/h (6 mph). Extra caution should be
exercised when driving through flowing
