FRONT SEAT SAFETY
Make sure to read and fully understand the relevant warnings before using the features in this section. Failure to observe warnings and cautions may result in vehicle damage, injury, or DEATH in the event of an accident.
WARNING
Never adjust the driver’s seat while the vehicle is moving. Any sudden or unexpected movement of the seat could cause a loss of vehicle control, resulting in an accident or personal injury.
Never adjust the driver’s seat while the vehicle is moving. Any sudden or unexpected movement of the seat could cause a loss of vehicle control, resulting in an accident or personal injury.
WARNING
Take care when retrieving items that have fallen down the side, back, front or underneath the seat. Sharp objects may be present in these areas, which could present a risk of injury. Always stop the vehicle before retrieving items.
WARNING
Riding with a reclined seatback increases the chance of serious or fatal injuries in the event of a collision or sudden stop. Reclining the seat greatly reduces the protection of the restraint system, i.e., the seat belts and air bags. Seat belts must be snug against the hips and chest to work properly. The more the seatback is reclined, the greater the chance of an occupant’s hips sliding under the lap section of the seat belt. The occupant’s neck could also strike the shoulder belt. Drivers and passengers should always sit well back in the seat, be properly belted, and have the seatbacks in an upright position.

SITTING IN THE CORRECT POSITION
WARNING
Make sure that you have read and fully understood the relevant warnings before using any of the features in this section. See FRONT SEAT SAFETY.
The seat, head restraint, seat belt, and air bags all contribute to the protection of the user. Correct use of these components gives greater protection. Therefore, always observe the following points:
- Sit in an upright position, with the base of the spine as far back as possible. To achieve optimum benefit of the seat belt in the event of an accident, do not recline the seat excessively.
- Do not move the driver’s seat too close to the steering wheel. Ideally, a minimum distance of 10 in (254 mm) is recommended between the breastbone and the air bag cover of the steering wheel. Hold the steering wheel in the correct position, with arms slightly bent.
- Adjust the head restraint so that the top of the head restraint is above the centerline of the head.
- Position the seat belt so that it is midway between the neck and shoulder. Fit the strap tightly across the hips, not across the stomach.
Make sure that the driving position is comfortable, enabling full control of the vehicle.
FOLDING ARMREST
Use the adjuster wheel (1) to set the required height for the armrest. The folding armrest can be stored by moving it to the vertical position.
