Safety Precautions
Adjusting the seats so that you are sitting
in a safe, comfortable position plays an
important role in driver and passenger
safety, together with seat belts and
airbags, in an accident.
WARNING
Do not use a cushion that reduces
friction between the seat and the
passenger. The passenger’s hips may
slide under the lap portion of the seat
belt during an accident or a sudden stop.
Serious or fatal internal injuries could
result because the seat belt cannot
operate properly.
Airbags
You can take steps to reduce the risk
of being injured by an inflating airbag.
Sitting too close to an airbag greatly
increases the risk of injury in the event
the airbag inflates.
The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) recommends
that drivers allow at least 10 inches (25
cm) between the center of the steering
wheel and their chest.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury or
death from an inflating airbag, take the
following precautions:
ś Adjust the driver’s seat as far to the
rear as possible maintaining the ability
to control the vehicle.
ś Adjust the front passenger seat as far
to the rear as possible.
ś Hold the steering wheel by the rim
with hands at the 9 o’clock and 3
o’clock positions to minimize the risk
of injuries to your hands and arms.
ś NEVER place anything or anyone
between you and the airbag.
ś 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. 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.
WARNING
Take the following precautions when
adjusting your seat belt:
ś NEVER use one seat belt for more
than one occupant.
ś Always position the seatback upright
with the lap portion of the seat belt
snug and low across the hips.
ś NEVER allow children or small infants
to ride on a passenger’s lap.
ś Do not route the seat belt across your
neck, across sharp edges, or reroute
the shoulder strap away from your
body.
ś Do not allow the seat belt to become
caught or jammed.
