SITTING IN THE CORRECT
POSITION
WARNINGS
Do not recline the seatback too far
as this can cause the occupant to
slide under the seatbelt, resulting in
serious injury in the event of a collision.
Always sit upright against your
seatback with your feet on the floor.
Do not place objects higher than the
top of the seat backrest. Failure to
follow this instruction could result in
personal injury or death in the event of a
sudden stop or crash.
E68595
When you use them properly, the seat,
head restraint, seatbelt and airbags will
provide optimum protection in the event
of a crash.
We recommend that you follow these
guidelines:
•
Sit in an upright position with the base
of your spine as far back as possible.
•
Do not recline the seat backrest more
than 30°.
•
Adjust the head restraint so that the
top of it is level with the top of your
head and as far forward as possible.
Make sure that you remain
comfortable.
•
Keep sufficient distance between
yourself and the steering wheel. We
recommend a minimum of 25 cm
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 center 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.
HEAD RESTRAINTS
WARNINGS
Raise the rear head restraints when
passengers occupy the rear seats.
Do not remove the head restraint
from an occupied seat.
Adjusting the Head Restraints
Adjust the head restraint so that the top
of it is level with the top of your head.
Raising the Head Restraints
Pull the head restraint upward. Make sure
the head restraint locks into place.
Lowering the Head Restraints
Press the locking button and push the head
restraint downward. Make sure the head
restraint locks into place.
