• Keep sufficient distance between yourself and the steering wheel. We

recommend a minimum of 10 inches (250 millimeters) between your
breastbone and the airbag cover.

• Hold the steering wheel with your arms slightly bent.
• Bend your legs slightly so that you can press the pedals fully.
• Position the shoulder strap of the safety belt over the center of your

shoulder and position the lap strap tightly across your hips.

Make sure that your driving position is comfortable and that you can
maintain full control of your vehicle.

HEAD RESTRAINTS

WARNING: To minimize the risk of neck injury in the event of a
crash, the driver and passenger occupants should not sit in

and/or operate the vehicle, until the head restraint is placed in its
proper position. The driver should never adjust the head restraint while
the vehicle is in motion.

WARNING: The adjustable head restraint is a safety device.
Whenever possible it should be installed and properly adjusted

when the seat is occupied.

WARNING: Install the head restraint properly to minimize the
