Safe Sitting Position

Chapter 4 · Manual page 157

To avoid personal injuries due to the loss of vehicle control, do not adjust the seats while the car is moving.

An ideal position of the seat should make sure your driving position is comfortable, which allows you to hold the steering wheel with your arms and legs slightly bent and control all the devices. Do not recline the front seat backrest excessively. Optimum benefit is obtained from the seat belt with the backrest angle set to approximately 25° from the upright position (vertical). To mitigate the danger possibly caused by airbag triggering, the driver and front passenger seats should be positioned as rearward as practical. Take care when adjusting the height of the front seat: the feet of the rear passenger could be trapped when the seat is lowered.
