 Always drive and ride with yourseatback upright and the lap por-
tion of the safety belt, or lap belt,
snug and low across the hips.
This position puts your safety
belts in the best position to pro-
tect you in case of an accident.
 In order to avoid unnecessary air bag injuries including the possi-
bility of severe injury or death,
always sit as far back as possible
from the steering wheel while still
being able to maintain comfort-
able control of your vehicle.
 The Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (CMVSS) rec-
ommends that the driver sit at
least 250 mm (10 inches) away
from the steering wheel to avoid
the risk of serious injury or death
due to the deployment of the dri-
ver’s air bag.
