Seating And Safety Restraints - Ford Focus 2004 Owner's Manual

SEATS
Sitting in the correct position
The seats, head restraints, seat
belts, and air bags all contribute to
the protection of the occupants.
Optimal use of these components
will give you added protection if
you observe the following points:
•
Sit in an upright position with the
base of your spine as far back as
possible and with the seatback
reclined no more than 30 degrees.
•
Adjust the head restraints so that
the top is level with the top of your
head.
•
Do not move the front seat too
close to the instrument panel. The
driver should hold the steering
wheel in the '10 to 2 o' clock'
position with arms slightly bent.
The legs should also be slightly bent
so that the pedals can be pressed
fully to the floor.
•
The seat belt should cross the
centre of the shoulder; the lap strap
should fit tightly across the hips,
not the stomach.
Do not use any accessory
seat covers that are not
specifically designed for seats
with side air bags. These seat
covers must be fitted by properly
trained technicians.
