Seats
SITTING IN THE CORRECT
POSITION
WARNINGS
Do not adjust the seats when the
vehicle is moving.
Only when you use the seat
belt properly, can it hold you in a
position that allows the airbag to achieve
its optimum effect.
When you use them properly, the seat,
head restraint, seat belt and airbags will
provide optimum protection in the event
of a collision. We recommend that you:
• Sit in an upright position with the
base of your spine as far back as
possible.
• Do not recline the seatback more
than 30 degrees.
• Adjust the head restraint so that
the top of it is level with the top of
your head and as far forwards as
possible, remaining comfortable.
• Keep sufficient distance between
yourself and the steering wheel.
We recommend a minimum of
250 millimetres between your
breastbone and the airbag cover.

• Hold the steering wheel with your
arms slightly bent.
• Bend your legs slightly so that you
can press the pedals fully.
• Position the shoulder strap of the
seatbelt over the centre of your
shoulder and position the lap strap
tightly across your hips.
Make sure that your driving position is
comfortable and that you can maintain
full control of your vehicle.
