To adjust

Safe seating position

For driving that is relaxed and less likely

to cause fatigue, you should select a

sitting position that reflects your per-

sonal requirements. In combination

with the safety belts and airbags, the

correct seating position also plays an

important role in enhancing occupant

safety in the event of an accident. To

ensure that the vehicle's safety systems

provide you with optimal protection, we

request that you direct your careful

attention to the following section.

For supplementary information on

transporting children, refer to page 58.

Airbags

Always maintain an adequate dis-

tance between yourself and the

airbags. Always hold the steering wheel

by the rim to keep any chance of injury

to hands or arms to an absolute mini-

mum should the airbag be deployed.

Never allow any objects, individuals or

animals to obstruct the areas between

passengers and airbags. Never use the

front airbag's cover as a storage tray or

support for objects of any kind. Never

allow front passengers to rest their feet

or legs on the airbag cover.<

For airbag locations and additional

information on airbags, refer to

page 55.

Safety belt

Your vehicle is equipped with four

seats, each of which is provided with a

safety belt.

Never allow more than one person

to wear a single safety belt. Never

allow infants or small children to ride in

a passenger's lap. Avoid twisting the

belt while routing it firmly across the

pelvis and shoulder, wear it as snugly

against your body as possible. Do not

allow the belt to rest against hard or

fragile objects in your pockets. Do not

route the belt across your neck, or run it

across sharp edges. Be sure that the

belt does not become caught or

jammed. Avoid wearing bulky clothing

and pull on the lap belt periodically to

retension it over your shoulders. In the

event of a frontal impact, a loose lap

belt could slide over the hips, leading to

abdominal injury. In addition, the safety

belt's restraint effectiveness is reduced

if the belt is worn loosely. Expectant

mothers should always wear their

safety belts, taking care to position the

lap belt against the lower hips, where it

will not exert pressure against the

abdominal area.<

For information on using the safety

belts, refer to page 50.
