� WARNING
•
To help prevent loss of vehicle
control and an accident, adjust the
steering wheel only when the ve­
hicle is not moving.
•
The front seats must not be ad­
justed too close to the steering
wheal or to the instrument panel.
Never sit closer than 10 inches
(25 em) to the steering wheel to
give the airbag room to inflate and
help reduce the risk of injury when
the airbag deploys.
•
If you cannot sit more than
1 0
inches
(25
em) from the steer­
ing wheel, we recommend that
you investigate whether adaptive
equipment may be available to
help you reach the pedals and in­
crease your seating distance from
the steering wheel.

Pointing the steering wheel to­
ward your face decreases the abil­

bag to protect you in an accident.
•
Always hold the steering wheel
on the outside of the steering
wheel rim with your hands at the
g o'clock and 3 o'clock positions

injury if the driver's airbag in­
flates.

Never hold the steering wheel at
the

o'clock position or with
your hands at other positions in­
side the steering wheel rim or on
the steering wheel hub.

Holding the steering wheel the
wrong way can causa serious inju­
ries to the hands, arms and head if
the driver's airbag inflates.
