Knowing your vehicle
16 3
(Continued)
• In order to avoid unnecessary air
bag injuries including the possi-
bility of severe injury or death,
always sit as far back as possible
from the steering wheel so that
your chest is at least 250 mm (10
inches) away from the steering
wheel.
WARNING - Loose objects
Loose objects in the driver’s foot
area could interfere with the opera-
tion of the foot pedals, possibly
causing an accident. Do not place
anything under the front seats.
WARNING - Driver’s seat
• Never attempt to adjust seat while
the vehicle is moving. This could
result in loss of control, and an
accident causing death, serious
injury, or property damage.
• Do not allow anything to interfere
with the normal position of the
seatback. Storing items against a
seatback or in any other way
interfering with proper locking of
a seatback could result in serious
or fatal injury in a sudden stop or
collision.
• Always drive and ride with your
seatback upright and the lap por-
tion of the safety belt snug and
low across the hips. This is the
best position to protect you in
case of an accident.

bag injuries including the possibili-
ty of severe injury or death, always

ing the seat far back, while still
maintaining good vehicle control.
Serious injury or death may be
caused due to the deployment of
the passenger’s air bag.
