Are you seated safely?
Safety features such as head restraints, seatbelts and airbags help protect you from injury. However for the best protection you need to make the necessary adjustments and ensure both you and your passengers are seated in a safe position.
Everyone is different, so whether you’re the driver or a passenger, you need to do your own "safety check" every time you get into the car.
- Before turning on the ignition, adjust your seat, mirrors, seat belt and head restraint
- The top of your head restraint should be at least as high as eye-level
- Drivers must have a clear view of the road and be able to reach the controls easily without being cramped
- Keep at least 30cm distance between you and the steering wheel
- Passengers should never put their feet or knees on or against the dashboard
