5.1.1 Sitting in the Correct Position
Follow the tips below for a comfortable and safe journey;
• Sit in an upright position with the base of your spine pressed against the seat
back
• Adjust the head restraint as close as possible to the above specified position, with
the top of the head restraint even with the top of your head
• Maintain sufficient distance between yourself and the steering wheel. Maintain at
least a ten inch (10") distance from the centre of the steering wheel to your chest
• The top curve of the steering wheel should align with your chin for ideal road
visibility
• Adjust your seat and seat back angle such that your wrists rest on top of the
steering wheel freely

5.1.2 Front Seat Slide
Move the seat forward or backward by lifting the adjustment lever located under the
seat front and release once the desired position is reached.
Never adjust the driver's seat while the vehicle is in motion. The seat may
unexpectedly move and cause the driver to unintentionally operate the
accelerator or brake, or turn the steering wheel, causing loss of control of the
vehicle, an accident or serious personal injury. Adjust the driver's seat only
when the vehicle is not in motion.
Never put objects under the seats. They may interfere with the seat-lock
mechanism or unexpectedly activate the seat position adjusting lever, causing
the seat to suddenly move, resulting in loss of control of the vehicle, an accident
or serious personal injury.
While adjusting the seat, do not put your hands under the seat or near the
moving parts. This may lead to injuries.
