Seats

SITTING IN THE CORRECT POSITION
The seat, head restraint, seat belt and airbags,
all contribute to the protection of the user.
Correct use of these components will give you
greater protection, therefore you should
observe the following points:
1. Sit in an upright position with the base of
your spine as far back as possible and the
seatback reclined no more than 30
degrees.
2. Do not move the driver's seat too close to
the steering wheel. Ideally, a minimum
distance of 254 mm (10 inches) is
recommended betwee n the breastbone
and the steering wheel airbag cover. Hold
the steering wheel in the correct position
with your arms slightly bent.
• Adjust the head restraint so that its highest
point is level with the top of your head. •
Position the seat belt so that it is mid-way
between your neck an d your shoulder. Fit
the strap tightly across your hips, not
across your stomach.
• Ensure that your driving position is
comfortable and enables you to maintain
full control of the vehicle.
WARNING
Do not adjust the seat while the
vehicle is moving. Doing so could
cause loss of vehicle control and
personal injury.
