Seats

During driving, all vehicle occupants
should have the seatback upright, sit
well back in the seat and use seat belts
provided correctly.

WARNING

y

Do not drive the vehicle unless

the occupants are properly
seated. Never let passengers
to ride in the cargo area or on
top of a folded–down seatback,
Persons not properly seated and/
or not properly restrained by seat
belts can be seriously injured in
the event of emergency braking
or a crash. During driving,
Passengers should not stand up
or change seats while the vehicle
is moving. Otherwise, severe

injuries can occur in the event of
emergency braking or a crash.

Front seats precautions

Driver seat

WARNING

y

Sitting too close to a front driver

airbag can result in serious injury
or death if the front airbags
inflate. The National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration
“NHTSA” advises: Since the risk
zone for driver airbag is the first
50–75 mm (2–3 in.) of inflation,
placing yourself 250 mm (10 in.)
from your diver airbag provides
you with a clear margin of safety.
This distance is measured from
the center of the steering wheel

to your breastbone. If you sit less
than 250 mm (10 in.) away now,
you can change your driving
position in several ways: _ Move
your seat to the rear as far as you
can while still reaching the pedals
comfortably. Slightly recline the
back of the seat. Although vehicle
designs vary, many drivers can
achieve the 250 mm (10 in.)
distance, even with the driver
seat all the way forward, simply
by reclining the back of the seat
somewhat. If reclining the back
of your seat makes it hard to see
the road, raise yourself by using
a firm, non–slippery cushion, or
raise the seat if your vehicle has
that feature.

y

If your steering wheel is

adjustable, tilt it downward. This

points the airbag toward your chest
instead of your head and neck.
The seat should be adjusted as
recommended by NHTSA above,
while still maintaining control of the
foot pedals, steering wheel, and
your view of the instrument panel
controls.

Front passenger seat

WARNING

y

Sitting too close to a front

passenger airbag can result
in serious injury or death if the
front airbags inflate. The front
passenger seat should be as far
from the airbag as possible with
the seatback adjusted, so the front
passenger sits upright.

Seat adjustment precautions

WARNING

y

Once a seat is adjusted correctly ,

rock it back and forth to make
sure it is locked in position.

y

Do not adjust the seat in

driving vehicle as the seat may
unexpectedly move and cause
the driver to lose control of the
vehicle.

y

Be careful that the seat does not

hit a passenger or luggage.

y

After adjusting the seatback,

push your body back against the
seat to make sure the seat is
locked in position.

y

Do not put objects under the

seats.
Otherwise, the objects may
interfere with the seat–lock

mechanism or unexpectedly push
up the seat position adjusting
lever and the seat may suddenly
move, causing the driver to lose
control of the vehicle.

y

While adjusting the seat, do

not put your hands under the
seat or near the moving parts.
Otherwise, your hands or fingers
may be caught and injured.
