uuAdjusting the Seats uFront Seats
170
Controls
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. Do ing 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.

uuAdjusting the Seats uMaintain a Proper Sitting Position
Controls
Maintain a Proper Sitting Position
After all occupants have adjusted their s eats and head restraints, and put on their 
seat belts, it is very important that they  continue to sit upright, well back in their 
seats, with their feet on the floor, until  the vehicle is safely parked and the power 
system is off.
Sitting improperly can increase the chance of  injury during a crash. For example, if 
an occupant slouches, lies down, turns si deways, sits forward, leans forward or 
sideways, or puts one or both feet up, the chance of injury during a crash is greatly 
increased.
In addition, an occupant who is out of posi tion in the front seat can be seriously or 
fatally injured in a crash by striking interior parts of the vehicle or being struck by an 
inflating front airbag.1 Maintain a Proper Sitting Position
3WARNING
Sitting improperly or  out of position can 
result in serious injury or death in a crash.
Always sit upright, well back in the seat, 
with your feet on the floor.
