Adjusting the Seats
Make seat adjustments before driving to ensure the best comfort and safety.
Adjusting the Front Seats
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 and
well back in the seat, adequately press the pedals
without leaning forward, and grip the steering
wheel comfortably. The passenger’s seat should
be adjusted so that it is as far back from the front
airbag in the dashboard as possible.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Transport Canada
recommend that drivers allow at least 10 inches (25 cm) between the center of
the steering wheel and the chest.
Sitting too close to a front airbag can result in serious injury or death if the
front airbags inflate.
Always sit as far back from the front airbags as possible while maintaining
control of the vehicle.
WARNING
Allow sufficient
space. Move
back.
Do not use the wipers when the windshield is dry. The windshield will get scratched,
or the rubber blades will get damaged.
In cold weather, the blades may freeze to the windshield, becoming stuck.
Operating the wipers in this condition may damage the wipers. Use the defroster to
warm the windshield, then turn the wipers on.
NOTICE
Rear WiperWhen you shift to Reverse (R) and the front wipers are activated, the rear wiper
activates even if the switch is off.
