Seat and seat belts
WARNING
!
● IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO BE PROPERLY
SEATED.
A driver or front passenger too close to the steering
wheel or instrument panel during air bag deploy-
ment can be killed or seriously injured.
Air bags inflate very fast, and with great force.
If the driver and front passenger are not properly
seated and restrained, the air bags may not protect
2
you properly, and could cause serious or fatal inju-
ries when it inflates.
• Before driving, adjust the driver's seat as far back
as possible while still maintaining complete control
of the vehicle.
• Before driving, adjust the front passenger seat as
far back as possible.
• Make sure all occupants in the vehicle are properly
restrained at all times, using the available seat
belts.
• With seat belts properly fastened, the driver and
passenger should sit well back and upright without
leaning against the window or door.

panel.

restraint system.

dren.
