General information
Why is your seat adjustment so important?
The safety belts and the airbag system can only
provide
maximum protection if the front seats
are correctly adjusted.
There are various ways of adjusting the front
seats to provide safe and comfortable support
for the dr iver and the front passenger . Adjust
your seat properly so that:
- you can easily and quickly reach all the switches
and controls in the instrument panel
- your body is properly supported thus reducing
physical
stress and fatigue
- the safety belts and airbag system can offer
maximum protection ¢ page 188.
In the following sections, you will see exact ly
how you can
best adjust your seats.
There are spec i al regulat i ons and i nstr u ctions for
installing a child
seat on the front passenger's
seat. Always follow the information regarding
child
safety provided in ¢ page 212 , Child safe-
ty.
A WARNING
Incorrect seating position of the driver and all
other passengers can result in serious person-
al injury.
- Always keep
your feet on the floor when the
vehicle is in motion - never put your feet on
top of the instr u ment panel, out of the win-
dow or
on top of the sea t cushion. This ap-
plies espec ially t o the passenge rs. If your
seat ing position is incorrect, you increase
the risk of injury in the case of sudden brak-
ing
or an accident . If the airbag infl ates and
the seating position is incorrect, this could
result in personal injury or even death.
- It is important for both the driver and front
passenge r to keep a di stance of at least
10 in (25 cm) between themselves and the
stee ring wheel and/or i nstrument panel. If
you're sitting any closer than th is, the air-
bag system cannot protect you properly. In
44
addit ion, the front seats and head restraints
mu st be adjusted to your body height so
that they can give you maximum protection.
- Always try to keep as much distance as pos-
sible
between yourself and the steer ing
wheel or i nstrument pane l.
- Do not adjust the driver's or front passeng-
er 's seat while the vehicle is moving. Your
seat may move unexpectedly, causing sud-
den loss of vehicle contro l and personal in-
jury. If you adj ust your seat while the vehicle
is moving, you are out of posi tio n.
