Correct Seat Position
To avoid the risk of loss of control and

driver's seat - the feet of the rear passenger
could become trapped when the seat is

DO NOT allow front seat occupants to
travel with the seat backs reclined steeply
rearwards.

set to approximately 25° from the upright
(vertical).

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. A properly
adjusted seat helps reduce the risk of injury from sitting
too close to an inflating airbag.
