Adjusting the Seat-Backs Adjusting 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.
The front seat passenger should also adjust
their seat-back to a comfortable, upright
position.
Reclining a seat-back so that the shoulder part of the belt no longer rests against
the occupant's chest reduces the protective capability of the belt. It also increases
the chance of sliding under the belt in a crash and being seriously injured. The
farther a seat-back is reclined, the greater the risk of injury.
WARNING
Reclining the seat-back too far can result
in serious injury or death in a crash.
Adjust the seat-back to an upright
position, and sit well back in the seat.
Do not put a cushion, or other object, between the
seat-back and your back.
Doing so may interfere with proper seat belt or
airbag operation.
If you cannot get far enough away from the steering
wheel and still reach the controls, we recommend
that you investigate whether some type of adaptive
equipment may help.
