Adjusting the Seat Positions
Adjust the driver's seat as far back as possible 
while allowing you to maintain full control of 
the vehicle. You should be able to sit upright, 
well back in the seat and be able to 
adequately press the pedals without leaning 
forward, and grip the steering wheel 
comfortably. The passenger's seat should be 
adjusted in a similar manner, so that it is as far 
back from the front airbag in the dashboard 
as possible.
■Adjusting the driver’s power seat*

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration 
and Transport Cana da recommend that drivers allow 
at least 10 inches (25 cm)  between the center of the 
steering wheel and the chest.
Always make seat adjustments before driving.
3WARNING
Sitting too close to a front airbag can result 
in serious injury or death if the front 
airbags inflate.

Adjust the driver's sea t-back to a comfortable, 
upright position, leaving ample space 
between your chest and  the airbag cover in 
the center of the steering wheel.
The front seat passenger should also adjust 
their seat-back to a  comfortable, upright 
position.
Reclining a seat-back so that the shoulder pa rt of the belt no longer rests against the 
occupant's chest reduces the protective capa bility of the belt. It also increases the 
chance of sliding under the belt in a crash and being seriously injured. The farther a 
seat-back is reclined, the gr eater the risk of injury.
■Adjusting the Seat-Backs1Adjusting the Seat-Backs
Do not put a cushion, or  other object, between the 
seat-back and your back.
Doing so may interfere with proper seat belt or airbag 
operation.
If you cannot get far e nough away from the steering 
wheel and still reach th e controls, we recommend 
that you investigate whether some type of adaptive 
equipment may help.
3WARNING
Reclining the seat-back  too far can result in 
serious injury or death in a crash.
Adjust the seat-back to  an upright position, 
and sit well back in the seat.

Your vehicle is equipped with head restraints 
in all seating positions.
Head restraints are most effective for 
protection against whiplash and other rear-
impact crash injuries when the center of the 
back of the occupant's head rests against the 
center of the restraint. The tops of the 
occupant's ears should be level with the 
center height of the restraint.
■Adjusting the fro nt head restraint positions
To raise the head restraint:  Pull it upward.
To lower the head restraint:  Push it down 
while pressing the release button.
■Adjusting the Head Restraints1 Adjusting the Head Restraints
In order for the head restraint system to work 
properly:
•Do not hang any items on  the head restraints, or 
from the restraint legs.
•Do not place any objects between an occupant and 
the seat-back.
•Install each restraint in its proper location.
3WARNING
Improperly positioning head restraints 
reduces their effectiveness and increases 
the likelihood of serious injury in a crash.
Make sure head restraints are in place and 
positioned properly before driving.
Position head in the center 
of the head restraint.
