low the upper edge of the head restraint.

⇒Steering wheel . When adjusting the proper distance to the
steering wheel, grasp the top of the steering wheel with your elbows slightly bent.
Always hold the steering wheel on the outside of the steering wheel rim with your hands at the
9o'clock and 3o'clock positions to help reduce the risk of personal injury if the driver's airbag
inflates.
Never hold the steering wheel at the 12o'clock position or with your hands at other places inside
the steering wheel rim or on the steering wheel hub. Holding the steering wheel the wrong way
can cause serious injuries to the hands, arms, and head if the driver's airbag inflates.

face. Pointing the steering wheel toward your face decreases the ability of the driver's airbag to
help protect you in a collision.
Adjust the driver's seat so that you can easily push the pedals all the way to the floor while keep‐
ing your knee(s) slightly bent. The distance to the instrument panel in the knee area must be at
least 4inches (10cm) ⇒Fig.19
