We recommend that you follow these guidelines:

    Sit in an upright position with the base of your spine as far back as possible.
    Do not recline the seat backrest so that your torso is more than 30° from the upright position.
    Adjust the head restraint so that the top of it is level with the top of your head and as far forward as possible. Make sure that you remain comfortable.
    Keep sufficient distance between yourself and the steering wheel. We recommend a minimum of 10 in

(25 cm) between your breastbone and the airbag cover.

    Hold the steering wheel with your arms slightly bent.
    Bend your legs slightly so that you can press the pedals fully.
    Position the shoulder strap of the seatbelt over the center of your shoulder and position the lap strap tightly across your hips.

Note: You can only recall a preset memory position when you switch the ignition off, or when the transmission is in park (P) or neutral (N) if the ignition is on and the vehicle is not moving.

You can also recall a preset memory position by:

    Pressing the unlock button on your intelligent access key fob if it is linked to a preset position.

    Place heavy objects on the seat.
    Operate the heated seat if water or any other liquid is spilled on the seat. Allow the seat to dry thoroughly.
