5.1 Front Seats

5.1.1 Sitting in 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
• The driver and front passenger seat head restraint has 5
positions. Adjust it 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 the steering wheel
• Ensure your legs are in bent position while fully depressing the
clutch pedal.
The seat should be adjusted while still maintaining control of the
foot pedals (able to fully depress the clutch pedal), steering
wheel (rest the wrists on the steering wheel) and your view of
the instrument panel controls.
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.
