Protecting Adults

2. Adjust the Front Seats

Any driver who sits too close to the

steering wheel is at risk of being
seriously injured or killed by striking

the steering wheel, or from being

struck by an inflating airbag during a
crash.

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 front seat

passenger moves the seat as far to
the rear 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

for how to adjust the

front seats.

Driver and Passenger Safety

Sitting too close to an airbag
can result in serious injury or
death if the airbags inflate.

Always sit as far back from the
airbags as possible.
