Sitting in Correct Position

It is recommended to seat in an upright
position with base of the spine away from
the steering wheel. Always maintain a
back-rest inclination of 30°. Adjust the
head restraint so that the top of the
restraint is at the same height as the top
of the occupant's head. This position
reduces the chances of a neck injury in a
crash.
CAUTION
Do not adjust the driver seat while
driving, it may divert attention of the
driver and lead to an accident.
Adjust the driver seat only when the
vehicle is stationary.
