SITTING IN THE CORRECT POSITION
WARNING:
Sitting improperly out of position or with the seat
back reclined too far can take off weight from the seat cushion
and affect the decision of the passenger sensing system, resulting in
serious injury or death in a crash. Always sit upright against your seat
back, with your feet on the floor.
WARNING:
Do not recline the seat back as this can cause the
occupant to slide under the seat’s safety belt, resulting in severe
personal injury in the event of a crash.
WARNING:
Do not place objects higher than the seat backs to
reduce the risk of injury in a crash or during heavy braking or
when stopping suddenly.
When you use them properly, the
seat, head restraint, safety belt and
airbags will provide optimum
protection in the event of a crash.
We recommend that you follow these guidelines:
•
Do not recline the seat back more than 30 degrees from vertical.
•
Sit in an upright position with the base of your spine as far back as
possible.
•
Adjust the head restraint so that the top of it is level with the top of
your head and as far forward as possible, remaining comfortable.
