For safe driving
Adjust the angle of the seat- 
back so that you are sitting 
straight up and so that you do 
not have to lean forward to 
steer. ( P. 170) 
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. 170) 
Vehicles with adjustable type head restraint: Lock the head restraint 
in place with the center of the head restraint closest to the top of 
your ears. ( P. 175) 
Wear the seat belt correctly. ( P.  4 0 ) 
Make sure that all occupants are wearing their seat belts before driv- 
ing the vehicle. ( P.  4 0 ) 
Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child until the child 
becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat belt.  
( P.  6 5 )
For safe driving, adjust the seat and mirror to an appropriate 
position before driving.

For safety and security
The main SRS airbag system components are shown above. The 
SRS airbag system is controlled by the airbag sensor assembly. As 
the airbags deploy, a chemical reaction in the inflators quickly fills the 
airbags with non-toxic gas to help restrain the motion of the occu- 
pants.
WARNING
 Q SRS airbag precautions 
Observe the following precautions regarding the SRS airbags.  
Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury. 
 O The driver and all passengers in the vehicle must wear their seat belts 
properly. 
The SRS airbags are supplemental devic es to be used with the seat belts. 
 O 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 - 75 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 measured 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 reaching the ped- 
als comfortably. 
• Slightly recline the back of the seat. Although vehicle designs vary, 
many drivers can achieve the 250 mm (10 in.) distance, even with the
driver seat all the way forward, simply by reclining the back of the seat 
somewhat. If reclining the back of your seat makes it hard to see 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 points the air- 
bag toward your chest instead of your head and neck.
The seat should be adjusted as recommended above, while still maintain- 
ing control of the foot pedals, steering wheel, and your view of the instru- 
ment panel controls.
