uuAdjusting the Seats uMaintain a Proper Sitting Position
Controls
Maintain a Proper Sitting Position
After all occupants have adjusted  their seats and head restraints*1, 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 engine 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 position 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.

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.
