²Relying on the airbags alone could lead to more
severe injuries in a collision. The airbags work

ment panel during airbag deployment could cause
serious injury. Airbags need room to inflate. Sit
back, comfortably extending your arms to reach
the steering wheel or instrument panel.
²The left and right side curtain airbags need room
to inflate. Do not lean against the door or window.
Sit upright in the center of the seat.

ments available:

2.5 inches (60 mm) if the starting position of the seat is
greater than or equal to 2.67 inches (68 mm) forward of
the rear seat stop when the key is removed from the
ignition switch. The seat will then move forwardapproximately 2.5 inches (60 mm) when the key is
placed into the ignition and turned out of the LOCK
position.
²The seat shall move to the position located 0.3 inches
(8 mm) forward of the rear stop if the starting position
is between 0.9 inches to 2.67 inches (23 mm to 68 mm)
forward of the rear stop when the key is removed from
the ignition switch. The seat will move forward to the
memory/driving position when the key is placed into
the ignition, and turned out of the LOCK position
toward the RUN position.
