Adjusting the Seat-Backs
■
TOC
Reclining a seat-back so that the shoulder part of the belt no longer rests against
the occupant's chest reduces the protective capability of the belt. It also increases
the chance of sliding under the belt in a crash and being seriously injured. The
farther a seat-back is reclined, the greater the risk of injury.

Adjusting the Seat Position
Adjust the driver's seat-back to a comfortable,
upright position, leaving ample space between
your chest and the airbag cover in the center
of the steering wheel.
The passenger should also adjust their seat-
back to a comfortable, upright position.
Adjusting the Seat-Backs
Reclining the seat-back too far can
result in serious injury or death in a
crash.
Adjust the seat-back to an upright
position, and sit well back in the seat.
Do not put a cushion, or other object, between the
seat-back and your back.
Doing so may interfere with proper seat belt or
airbag operation.
If you cannot get far enough away from the
steering wheel and still reach the controls, we
recommend that you investigate whether some
type of adaptive equipment may help.
