For safe driving
Adjust  the  angle  of  the 
seatback so that you are sitting 
straight  up  and  so  that  you  do 
not  have  to  lean  forward  to 
steer. ( P.   2 6 2 ) 
Adjust the seat so that you can 
depress the pedals fully and so 
that  your  arms  bend  slightly  at 
the  elbow  when  gripping  the
steering wheel. ( P. 262, 270) 
Lock the head restraint in place with the center of the head re straint 
closest to the top of your ears. ( P.   2 6 6 ) 
Wear the seat belt correctly. ( P.   3 6 ) 
Make sure that all occupants are wearing their seat belts befor e driv- 
ing the vehicle. ( P.   3 6 ) 
Use  a  child  restraint  system  appropriate  for  the  child  until  th e  child 
becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat belt.  
( P. 59)
For  safe  driving,  adjust  the  seat  and  mirror  to  an  appropriate 
position before driving.

WARNING
■SRS airbag precautions 
Observe the following precautions regarding the SRS airbags.  
Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury. 
● The  driver  and  all  passengers  in  the  vehicle  must  wear  their  seat  belts 
properly.
The SRS airbags are supplemental devices to be used with the se at belts. 
● The  SRS  driver  airbag  deploys  with  considerable  force,  and  can cause 
death or serious injury especially if the driver is very close  to the airbag. 
Since the risk zone for the driver’s airbag is the first 50 - 7 5 mm (2 - 3 in.) 
of  inflation,  placing  yourself  250  mm  (10  in.)  from  your  driver   airbag  pro- 
vides  you  with  a  clear  margin  of  safety.  This  distance  is  measu red  from 
the  center  of  the  steering  wheel  to  your  breastbone.  If  you  sit   less  than 
250  mm  (10  in.)  away  now,  you  can  change  your  driving  position  in sev- 
eral ways: 
• Move your seat to the rear as far as you can while still reach ing the ped- 
als comfortably. 
• Slightly  recline  the  back  of  the  seat.  Although  vehicle  design s  vary, 
many  drivers  can  achieve  the  250  mm  (10  in.)  distance,  even  wit h  the 
driver seat all the way forward, simply by reclining  the  back o f the seat 
somewhat.  If  reclining  the  back  of  your  seat  makes  it  hard  to  s ee  the 
road,  raise  yourself  by  using  a  firm,  non-slippery  cushion,  or  raise  the 
seat if your vehicle has that feature. 
• If  your  steering  wheel  is  adjustable,  tilt  it  downward.  This  p oints  the 
airbag toward your chest instead of your head and neck.
The seat should be adjusted as recommended above, while still m aintain- 
ing control of the foot pedals, steering wheel, and your view o f the instru- 
ment panel controls.
