WARNING
●Do not adjust the steering wheel while driv-
ing. You could lose control of your vehicle
and cause an accident.
● Do not adjust the steering wheel any closer
to you than is necessary for proper steering
operation and comfort. The driver’s air bag
inflates with great force. If you are unre-
strained, leaning forward, sitting sideways
or out of position in any way, you are at
greater risk of injury or death in a crash. You
may also receive serious or fatal injuries
from the air bag if you are up against it when
it inflates. Always sit back against the seat-
back and as far away as practical from the
steering wheel. Always use the seat belts.
