that your arms bend slightly at
the elbow when gripping the
steering wheel. ( P. 141, 149)
Lock the head restraint in place with the center of the head restraint
closest to the top of your ears. ( P. 1 4 5 )
Wear the seat belt correctly. ( P. 2 6 )
Make sure that all occupants are wearing their seat belts before driv-
ing the vehicle. ( P. 2 6 )

WARNING
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
● Do not adjust the position of the driver’s seat while driving.
Doing so could cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
● Do not place a cushion between the driver or passenger and the seatback.
A cushion may prevent correct posture from being achieved, and reduce
the effectiveness of the seat belt and head restraint.
● Do not place anything under the front seats.
Objects placed under the front seats may become jammed in the s eat
tracks and stop the seat from locking in place. This may lead t o an acci-
dent and the adjustment mechanism may also be damaged.
● Always observe the legal speed limit when driving on public roads.
● When driving over long distances, take regular breaks before yo u start to
feel tired.
Also, if you feel tired or sleepy while driving, do not force y ourself to con-
tinue driving and take a break immediately.
