Safety precautions
Adjusting the seats so that you are sit-
ting in a safe, comfortable position
plays an important role in driver and
passenger safety together with theseat belts and air bags in an accident.
Air bags
You can take steps to reduce the risk
of being injured by an inflating air
bag. Sitting too close to an air bag
greatly increases the risk of injury in
the event the air bag inflates.The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) recommends
that drivers allow at least 10 inches
(25 cm) between the center of the
steering wheel and their chest.
Seat belts
Always fasten your seat belt before
starting any trip. At all times, passen-
gers should sit upright and be proper-
ly restrained. Infants and small chil-
dren must be restrained in appropri-
ate child restraint systems. Children
who have outgrown a booster seat
and adults must be restrained using
the seat belts.
Do not use a cushion that reduces friction between the seat
and the passenger. The passen-
ger's hips may slide under the
lap portion of the seat belt during
an accident or a sudden stop.Serious or fatal internal injuriescould result because the seat
belt cannot operate normally.
WARNING To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death from an inflating
air bag, take the following pre-cautions:
•Adjust the driver’s seat as far to
the rear as possible while main-taining the ability to maintain
full control of the vehicle.
Adjust the front passenger seat
as far to the rear as possible.
Hold the steering wheel by the
rim with hands at the 9 o’clock
and 3 o’clock positions to mini-
mize the risk of injuries to yourhands and arms.
NEVER place anything or any- one between the steering wheel
and the air bag.
Do not allow the front passen-
ger to place feet or legs on the
dashboard to minimize the riskof leg injuries.

the seat belt snug and low
across the hips.
NEVER allow children or small
infants to ride in a passenger’s lap.

when adjusting your seat:
NEVER attempt to adjust the
seat while the vehicle is mov-
ing. The seat could respond
with unexpected movement
and may cause loss of vehicle
control resulting in an acci-dent.
Do not place anything under
the front seats. Loose objects
in the driver’s foot area could
interfere with the operation of
the foot pedals, causing anaccident.
Do not allow anything to inter-
fere with the normal position

back.

the vehicle is in motion can be dan-
gerous. Even when buckled up, the
protection of your restraint system

reduced by reclining your seatback.

neck or other injuries.
The more the seatback is reclined,
the greater chance the passenger’ships will slide under the lap belt or
the passenger’s neck will strike theshoulder belt.

seatback when the vehicle is
moving.
Riding with a reclined seatback
increases your chance of seri-
ous or fatal injuries in the event
of a collision or sudden stop.
Drivers and passengers should
ALWAYS sit well back in their
seats, properly belted, and with
the seatbacks upright.
