Safety system
To reduce the risk of serious injury or
death from an inflating airbag:
• Adjust the driver's seat as far to the rear
as possible while maintaining your
ability to control the vehicle.
• Adjust the front passenger seat as far to
the rear as possible.
• Hold the steering wheel by the rim with
your hands at the 9 o'clock and 3
o'clock positions to minimize the risk of
injuries to your hands and arms.
• Never place anything or anyone
between you and the airbag.
• Do not allow the front passenger to
place feet or legs on the dashboard to
minimize the risk of leg injuries.
Seat belts
Always fasten your seat belt before
starting any trip. At all times, passengers
should sit upright and be properly
restrained with a seat belt. Infants and
small children must be restrained in
appropriate Child Restraint Systems.
Children who have outgrown a booster
seat and adults must be restrained using
the seat belts.
To prevent serious injury or death:
• NEVER use one seat belt for more than
one occupant.
• Always position the seatback upright
with the lap portion of the seat belt
snug and low across the hips.
• NEVER allow children or small infants to
ride on a passenger's lap.
• Do not route the seat belt across your
neck, across sharp edges, or reroute
the shoulder strap away from your
body.
• Do not allow the seat belt to become
caught or jammed.
Front seats
The front seat can be adjusted by using
the control switches located on the
outside of the seat cushion. Before
driving, adjust the seat to the proper
position so that you can easily control the
steering wheel, foot pedals and controls
on the instrument panel.
Take the following precautions when
adjusting your seat:
• NEVER attempt to adjust the seat while
the vehicle is moving. The seat could
respond with unexpected movement
and may cause loss of vehicle control
resulting in an accident.
• Do not place anything under the front
seats. Loose objects in the driver's foot
area could interfere with the operation
of the foot pedals, causing an accident.
• Do not allow anything to interfere with
the normal position and proper locking
of the seatback.
• Do not place a cigarette lighter on the
floor or seat. When you operate the
seat, gas may exit out of the lighter
causing a fire.
• Use extreme caution when picking up
small objects trapped under the seats
or between the seat and the center
console. Your hands might be cut or
injured by the sharp edges of the seat
mechanism.
• If there are occupants in the rear seats,
be careful while adjusting the front seat
position.
• Make sure that the seat is locked in
place after the adjustment. If not, the
seat might move unexpectedly, and
could result in an accident.
