215uu Adjusting the Seats u Maintain a Proper Sitting Position
Controls
Maintain a Proper Sitting Position After all occupants have adjusted their s eats and head restrain ts, and put on their
seat belts, it is very important that they continue to sit uprigh t, well back in their
seats, with their feet on the floor, until the vehicle is safely parked and the power
mode 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
