Adjusting the Seats
Front Seats
Adjust the driver’s seat as far back as possible 
while allowing you to ma intain 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 fro nt power seats*
1Adjusting the Seats
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.
Always sit as far back from the front 
airbags as possible  while maintaining 
control of the vehicle.
Move back.

uuAdjusting the Seats uFront Seats
Controls
Adjust the driver’s seat -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 part 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.
