SITTING IN THE CORRECT POSITION
WARNING:Sitting improperly out of position or with the
seatback reclined too far can take off weight from the seat
cushion and affect the passenger sensing system, resulting in serious
injury or death in a crash. Always sit upright against your seatback,
with your feet on the floor.
WARNING: Do not recline the seatback as this can cause the
occupant to slide under the seat’s safety belt, resulting in severe
personal injury in the event of a crash.
WARNING: Do not place objects higher than the seatbacks to
reduce the risk of injury in a crash or during heavy braking or
when stopping suddenly.
When you use them properly, the
seat, head restraint, safety belt and
airbags will provide optimum
protection in the event of a crash.
We recommend that you follow
these guidelines:
• Do not recline the seatback more than 30 degrees from vertical.
• Sit in an upright position with the base of your spine as far back as
possible.
• Adjust the head restraint so that the top of it is level with the top of
your head and as far forward as possible, remaining comfortable.
• Keep sufficient distance between yourself and the steering wheel. We
recommend a minimum of 10 inches (25 centimeters) 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 safety belt over the center 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
WARNING:Fully adjust the head restraint before you sit in or
operate your vehicle. This will help minimize the risk of neck
injury in the event of a crash. Do not adjust the head restraint when
your vehicle is moving.
WARNING: The adjustable head restraint is a safety device.
Whenever possible, it should be installed and properly adjusted
when the seat is occupied. Failure to adjust the head restraint properly
could reduce its effectiveness during certain impacts.
WARNING: Install the head restraint properly to minimize the
risk of neck injury in the event of a crash.
Note: Adjust the seatback to an upright driving position before adjusting
any head restraint. Properly adjust the head restraint so that the top of
the head restraint is even with the top of your head and positioned as
close as possible to the back of your head. For occupants of extremely
tall stature, adjust the head restraint to its full up position.
Front Seat Head Restraints
The head restraints consist of :
A. An energy absorbing head restraint.
B. Two steel stems.
C. Guide sleeve adjust and release button.

POWER SEATS
WARNING: Before returning the seatback to its original position,
make sure that cargo or any objects are not trapped behind the
seatback.
WARNING: Never adjust the driver seat or seatback when the
vehicle is moving. This may result in sudden seat movement,
causing loss of control of your vehicle.
The control is located on the
outboard side of the seat. Move the
switch in the direction of the arrow
to raise or lower the seat cushion or
to move the seat forward, backward,
up or down.
