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.

HEAD RESTRAINTS
For information on adjusting power-operated
head restraints, refer to the Electric seats
section. SeeELECTRIC SEATS (page 42).
Whiplash protection
Both front seats are equi pped with Active Head
Restraints (AHR), which reduce the risk of neck
and spinal injury (whiplash) in the event of a
rear impact. See WHIPLASH PROTECTION
(page 57).
Head restraint tilt adjustment
To adjust the angle of the head restraint, press
the locking button on the side of the restraint
(solid arrow) and move the restraint to the
desired position. Release the button to lock in
place.
The head restraint should be tilted so that it is
in close proximity to the back of the head, when
seated in the normal driving position.
WARNINGS
Head restraints are designed to
support the head, not the back of the
neck. The restraint must be
positioned correctly to restrain rearward
movement of the head in a collision. An
incorrectly adjusted head restraint increases
the risk of death or seri ous injury in the event
of a collision.
Adjust the head restraint so that the
top of the head restraint is above the
centre line of the head. An incorrectly
adjusted head restraint increases the risk of
death or serious injury in the event of a
collision. See SITTING IN THE CORRECT
POSITION (page 41).
On front head restra ints, it is possible
to adjust the tilt of the head restraint
forwards or backwards. For greater
protection in the event of a collision, the head
restraint should be adjust ed so that it is as
close to the back of the head as is practical.
Do not drive, or carry passengers,
with the head restraints removed
from occupied seat s. The absence of
a correctly adjusted head restraint increases
the risk of death or seri ous injury in the event
of a collision.
Never adjust the head restraints while
the vehicle is in motion. An
incorrectly adjusted head restraint
increases the risk of death or serious injury in
the event of a collision.

within the vehicle are secured
properly. Unsecure d items can cause
death or serious injury in the event of an
impact or sudden manoeuvre.
Never allow passengers to travel in
the luggage compartment under any
circumstances. All vehicle occupants
should be seated correct ly, and wear a seat
belt at all times when the vehicle is in motion.
Failure to do so will greatl y increase the risk of
death and serious injury in the event of an
accident or heavy braking.

and labels attached to the rear seats.
The labels give advice on safely
folding and erecting the seats.
