Safety features of your vehicle
WARNING
Driver responsibility for front seat
passenger
ODEEV058002NR
Riding in a vehicle with a front seat -
back reclined could lead to serious or
fatal injury in an accident. If a front
seat is reclined during an accident,
the occupant's hips may slide under
the lap portion of the seat belt
applying great force to the unpro -
tected abdomen. Serious or fatal
internal injuries could result. The
driver must advise the front pas -
senger to keep the seatback in an
upright position whenever the vehi -
cle is in motion.
WARNING
Do not use a sitting cushion that
reduces friction between the seat
and passenger. The passenger's hips
may slide under the lap portion of
the seat belt during an accident or a
sudden stop. Serious or fatal inter -
3 4
nal injuries could result because the
seat belt can't operate normally.
WARNING
Driver's seat
Never attempt to adjust seat
whilst the vehicle is moving. This
could result in loss of control, and
an accident causing death, serious
injury, or property damage.
Do not allow anything to interfere
with the normal position of the
seatback. Storing items against a
seatback or in any other way
interfering with proper locking of
a seatback could result in serious
or fatal injury in a sudden stop or
collision.
Always drive and ride with your
seatback upright and the lap por -
tion of the seat belt snug and low
across the hips. This is the best
position to protect you in case of
an accident.
In order to avoid unnecessary and
perhaps severe air bag injuries,
always sit as far back as possible
from the steering wheel whilst
maintaining comfortable control
of the vehicle. It is recommended
that your chest is at least 250
mm (10 inches) away from the
steering wheel.
