positions.
How to move the steering wheel to its
default position
WARNING
Never adjust the steering wheel while
the vehicle is moving:
Adjusting the steering wheel while the
vehicle is moving is dangerous. Moving
it can very easily cause the driver to
abruptly turn to the left or right. This
can lead to loss of control or an
accident.
After adjusting the steering wheel
position, make sure it is securely
locked by trying to move it up and
down:
Driving with the steering wheel not
securely locked in position is
dangerous. If the steering wheel moves
unexpectedly while driving, you could
lose control of the steering resulting in
an accident.
Lower the lever, move the steering
wheel to the lowest position, and then
push it down and all the way back.
How to move a driver’s seat to its
default position
1. Slide the seat all the way back.
2. Lower the seat to its lowest height.
3. Lower the front edge of the seat
bottom to its lowest height.
4. Sit squarely in the seat and rest your
back against the seatback.
