To reduce the chance of injury, wear
your seat belt properly, sit upright
with your back against the seat, and
move the seat as far back as possible
from
the
steering wheel while still
maintaining full control of the car.
Also make sure your passenger
moves the seat as far to
the
rear as
possible.
Sitting too close to an airbag
can
result
in
serious injury or
death it the airbags
inflate.
Always
sit as tar back from the
airbags as
possible.
Most shorter drivers can get far
enough away from the steering
wheel and still reach the pedals.
However, if you are concerned about
sitting too close, we recommend that
you investigate whether some type
of adaptive equipment may help.
Once your seat is adjusted correctly,
rock it back and forth to make sure
the seat is locked in position.
See page
68
for how to adjust the
seats.
3.Adjust
the
Seat-Backs
Adjust the driver's seat-back to a
comfortable, upright position,
leaving ample space between your
chest and the airbag cover in the
center of the steering wheel.
If
you
sit too close to the steering wheel,
you could be injured
if
the airbag
inflates.
Protecting Adults
A passenger should also adjust the
seat-back to an upright position, but
as far from
the
dashboard as
possible. A passenger who sits too
close to the dashboard could be
injured if the airbag inflates.
