INEOS GRENADIER 2023 - Introduction; Sitting Properly

INTRODUCTION
Where you sit, how you sit, and how you are restrained can aect
the risk of injury and death, particularly in crashes. This section
provides information about how to reduce those risks.
NOTE: Throughout this manual, the term “adult” refers to
any person who is large enough to sit comfortably,
properly, and safely in one of the Grenadier’s seats and
seat belts with both feet on the oor. People over age 12
are usually able to do so. See https://www.nhtsa.gov/
sites/nhtsa.gov/les/nhtsacarseatrecommendations.pdf.
The use of the term “adult” refers to occupant size, not
legal status or calendar age.
SITTING PROPERLY
Sitting properly in a vehicle is crucial for the eective operation of
all of your Grenadier’s safety features.
All occupants must:
Be the sole occupant of one of the ve
designated
seating
positions
(driver, front passenger, left rear,
center rear, or right rear).
All adult occupants in a front seat must:
Adjust and lock the seat so that it is no closer to the air
bag than necessary.
Adjust and lock the front seat back so that it is relatively
upright and not greatly reclined.
The driver must also:
Position and lock the driver's seat horizontally (forward
and rearward) and
vertically (up and down) so that the
pedals, the steering wheel, and the controls are within
easy reach and the chest is at least 10 inches (25 cm)
from the steering wheel.
Hold the steering wheel at 9 and 3 o'clock and keep the
arms slightly bent.
This promotes steering wheel
operation and reduces the risk of injury from air bag
deployment.
All Occupants of all seats must:
Adjust the head restraint so that the center of the head
restraint is as
close as possible to the center of the back
of the head.
Sit centered, upright, and with the buttocks against the
seat back, not slouched.
Keep both feet on the oor.
Avoid leaning to one side or another.
All children (occupants
smaller than an adult-sized person) must
be in a rear seat position whenever possible. Never, under any
