Safety precautions
Adjusting the seats so that you are
sitting in a safe, comfortable position
plays an important role in driver and
passenger safety together with the
seat belts and air bags in an accident.
WARNING
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. Serious or fatal
internal injuries could result
because the seat belt cannot oper-
ate properly.
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. Move
your seat as far back as possible from
front air bags, whilst still maintaining
control of the vehicle.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury
or death from an inflating air bag,
take the following precautions:
‡ Adjust the driver’s seat as far to
the rear as possible whilst main-
taining the ability to maintain full
control of the vehicle.
‡ Adjust the front passenger seat
as far to the rear as possible.
‡ Hold the steering wheel by the
rim with hands at the 9 o’clock
and 3 o’clock positions to mini-
mise the risk of injuries to your
hands and arms.
‡ NEVER place anything or anyone
between the air bag.
‡ Do not allow the front passenger
to place feet or legs on the dash-
board to minimise the risk of leg
injuries.

Safety system
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:
‡ NEVER use one seat belt for
more than one occupant.
‡ Always position the seatback
upright with the lap portion of
the seat belt snug and low across
the hips.
‡ NEVER allow children or small
infants to ride in a passenger’s
lap.
‡ Do not route the seat belt across
your neck, across sharp edges,
or reroute the shoulder strap
away from your body.
‡ Do not allow the seat belt to
become caught or jammed.
Front seats
The front seat can be adjusted by
using the control lever or switches
located on the outside of the seat
cushion. Before driving, adjust the
seat to the proper position so that you
can easily control the steering wheel,
foot pedals and controls on the instru-
ment panel.
WARNING
Take the following precautions
when adjusting your seat:
‡ NEVER attempt to adjust the seat
whilst the vehicle is moving. The
seat could respond with unex-
pected movement and may
cause loss of vehicle control
resulting in an accident.
‡ 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.
‡ Do not allow anything to inter-
fere with the normal position and
proper locking of the seatback.
‡ 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.
‡ Use extreme caution when pick-
ing small objects trapped under
the seats or between the seat
and the centre console. Your
hands might be cut or injured by
the sharp edges of the seat
mechanism.
