SITTING IN THE
CORRECT POSITION
WARNING
Do not adjust the seats when the
l
vehicle is moving.
Only when you use the seat belt
l
properly, can it hold you in a
position that allows the airbag to
achieve its optimum effect.
When you use them properly, the seat,
head restraint, seat belt and airbags will
provide optimum protection in the event
of a collision. We recommend that you:
sit in an upright position with the base
l
of your spine as far back as possible.
do not recline the seatback more than
l
30 degrees.
adjust the head restraint so that the top
l
of it is level with the top of your head
and as far forwards as possible,
remaining comfortable.
keep sufficient distance between
l
yourself and the steering wheel. We
recommend a minimum of 250
millimetres (10 inches) between your
breastbone and the airbag cover.
hold the steering wheel with your arms
l
slightly bent.
bend your legs slightly so that you can
l
press the pedals fully.
position the shoulder strap of the seat
l
belt over the centre of your shoulder
and position the lap strap tightly across
your hips.
Make sure that your driving position is
comfortable and that you can maintain full
control of your vehicle.
