1–28 SEATS AND OCCUPANT PROTECTION SYSTEMS
• Tilt the seat belt slightly and do not
lean forward.
Tilt the seatback slightly, and sit
with your back against the back of
the seat. Do not lean or otherwise
position your body close - within
15 cm (6 inch) - to the air bag mod-
ule. Do not rest any part of your
body on or near the plastic trim cov-
ering the air bag module (the hub of
the steering wheel or the passenger
side of the instrument panel above
the glove box). Try to keep your
head and body more than 25 to
30 cm (10 to 12 inches) away from
the air bag. More distance is safer.
Occupants who are not properly
wearing their safety belts may be
thrown forward by braking before
impact, placing their bodies near or
against the air bag modules. This can
cause severe injury from the force of
air bag’s deployment.
• Move the back of the seat rearward
as far back as is comfortable and
safe.
Positioning your seat farther away
from the air bag module will not de-
crease the effectiveness of the air
bag. Greater distance from the mod-
ule means greater protection from the
air bag’s forceful and sudden deploy-
ment. Never move the driver’s
seatback so far as to impair the
driver’s ability to comfortably reach
the steering wheel, pedals and other
instrument and controls.
Proper positioning of adults and teen-
agers.
Adults and teenagers seated in the front
driver and passenger seats can also im-
prove their safety and the effectiveness
of the air bags by using proper seating
positions.
For the best seating position of adults
and teenagers:
• Wear the three-point safety belts at
all times.
All occupants, including the driver,
should always wear their safety belts
whether or not an air bag is also pro-
vided at their seating position to
minimize the risk of severe injury or
death in the event of a crash.
Air bags do not deploy in rear and
side-impact collisions. Occupants not
wearing their safety belts will not be
protected by any restraint system, re-
sulting in severe injuries or death in
these types of collisions.
