WARNING
Improper use of the steering wheel adjustment
feature can result in serious personal injury and
even death.
·
Always pull the lever →
after adjusting the steering wheel so that the
steering wheel does not change position sud-
denly while the vehicle is moving.
·
Never adjust the steering wheel while the vehi-
cle is moving. If you find that you need to adjust
the steering wheel while driving, stop the vehi-
cle in a safe place and make the proper adjust-
ment.
·
Never adjust the steering wheel so that it points
toward your face. Always make sure that the
steering wheel points toward your chest. Other-
wise, the airbag system cannot protect you
properly in the event of a crash.
·
Always hold the steering wheel on the outside
of the steering wheel rim with your hands at the
9 o'clock and 3 o'clock positions →
help reduce the risk of serious personal injury if
the driver's airbag inflates.
·
Never hold the steering wheel at the 12 o'clock
position or with your hands anywhere inside the
steering wheel or on the steering wheel hub.
Holding the steering wheel the wrong way in-
creases the risk of severe injury to the arms,
hands, and head if the driver airbag deploys.
