Prior to operating the vehicle, the driv-
er should check and adjust the seat 
height, seat position fore and aft, and 
seat backrest angle if necessary, to en-
sure adequate control, reach and com-
fort. The head restraint should also be 
adjusted for proper height. Also see air-
bag section (

page 53) for proper seat 

positioning.

In addition, adjust the steering wheel to 
ensure adequate control, reach, opera-
tion and comfort. Both the inside and 
outside rear view mirrors should be ad-
justed for adequate rear vision.

Fasten seat belts. Infants and small 
children should be seated in a properly 
secured restraint system that complies 
with U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety 
Standard 213 and Canadian Motor Ve-
hicle Safety Standard 213.

control of the vehicle.
