Steering wheel
General informa
Make sure that:
~The distance between your upper body and the
steering wheel is at least 10 inches (25 cm).
~Your arms are bent slightly at the elbows.
~You have a sufficient view of the area around
the vehicle and you have a clear view of the in-
strument cluster and head-up display'.
~You are always holding the steering wheel with
both hands on the outer edge at the sides (9:00
and 3:00 position) when driving.
—To reduce the risk of an accident, make sure
the steering wheel is adjusted correctly and
cannot be moved out of position before you
start to drive.
— If you are too close to the steering wheel,
the driver's airbag cannot provide optimal
protection, which increases the risk of injury
or fatality.
— Never hold the steering wheel in the 12:00
position or in any other way, such as holding
the center of the steering wheel. Otherwise,
your arms, hands, and head could be injured
in the event that the driver's airbag deploys.
