Adjusting the seat forward and back-
ward

Push the control button forward or
backward to move the seat to the
desired position. Release the knob
and the seat will lock in the selected
position.

Adjust the seat before driving, and
make sure the seat is locked secure-

knob. If the seat moves, it is not
locked properly.

(Continued)
• Always drive and ride with

your seatback upright and the
lap portion of the safety belt,
or lap belt, snug and low
across the hips. This position
puts your safety belts in the
best position to protect you in
case of an accident.

• In order to avoid unnecessary

airbag injuries including the
possibility of severe injury or
death, always sit as far back
as possible from the steering
wheel while still being able to
maintain comfortable control
of your vehicle.

• The Canadian Motor Vehicle

Safety Standards (CMVSS)
recommends that the driver
sit at least 10 inches (250 mm)
away from the steering wheel
to avoid the risk of serious
injury or death due to the
deployment of the driver’s
airbag.
