SEATS & RESTRAINTS
Seats
Correct Seating Position
To avoid the risk of loss of control and
personal injury, DO NOT adjust the seats
while the car is moving.
Take care when adjusting the height of the
driver's seat - the feet of the rear passenger
could become trapped when the seat is
lowered.
DO NOT allow front seat occupants to
travel with the seat backs reclined steeply
rearwards.
Optimum benefit is obtained
from the seat belt with the backrest angle
set to approximately 25° from the upright
(vertical).

The driver and front passenger seats should be positioned
as far rearward as practical. A properly adjusted seat
helps reduce the risk of injury from sitting too close to
an inflating airbag.
Ideally the seat should be positioned so that the steering
wheel can be held with the arms slightly bent and the seat
back in a nearly upright position. Make sure your driving
position is comfortable and enables you to maintain full
control of the vehicle.
