Seats
Front Seats
Adjust the driver’s seat as far back as possible while allowing you to maintain full control of the vehicle. You should be able to sit upright, well back in the seat, and be able to adequately press the pedals without leaning forward and grip the steering wheel comfortably. The passenger seat should be adjusted in a similar manner so that it is as far back from the front airbag in the dashboard as possible.
Adjusting the Seat Positions
Adjusting the front power seats
Always make seat adjustments before driving.
WARNING
Sitting too close to a front airbag can result in serious injury or death if the front airbags inflate.
Always sit as far back from the front airbags as possible while maintaining control of the vehicle.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Transport Canada recommend that drivers allow at least 10 inches (25 cm) between the center of the steering wheel and the chest.
Adjusting the front manual seats
Once a seat is adjusted correctly, rock it back and forth to make sure it is locked in position.
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 another object, between the seat-back and your back. Doing so may interfere with the 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.
Rear Seats
Folding Down the Rear Seats
The rear seats can be folded down separately to allow for additional storage space.
Pull the release lever and fold down the seat back.
The rear seat-back(s) can be folded down to accommodate bulkier items in the cargo area. To lock a seat-back upright, push it backwards until it locks, so that the red tabs in the release lever go down. When returning the seat-back to its original position, push it firmly back. Make sure that the folded seat-back does not press against the front passenger seat, as this can cause the weight sensors in the front passenger seat to work improperly. Passenger Airbag Off Indicator P. 70
Make sure all items in the cargo area or items extending to the rear seats are properly secured. Loose items can fly forward if you have to brake hard.
The front seat(s) must be far enough forward so they do not interfere with the rear seats as they fold down.
