It improves the interior compartment cleanliness. It protects the climate control components from particle deposits. You can locate the cabin air filter behind the glove box. Note: Make sure you have a cabin air filter installed at all times. This prevents foreign objects from entering the system. Running the system without a filter in place could result in degradation or damage to the system. Replace the filter at regular intervals. See Scheduled Maintenance (page 486).

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 safety belt over the center of your shoulder and position the lap strap tightly across your hips. Make sure that your driving position is comfortable and that you can maintain full control of your vehicle. HEAD RESTRAINTS WARNINGS Fully adjust the head restraint before you sit in or operate your vehicle. This will help minimize the risk of neck injury in the event of a crash. Do not adjust the head restraint when your vehicle is moving. The head restraint is a safety device. Whenever possible it should be installed and properly adjusted when the seat is occupied. SITTING IN THE CORRECT POSITION WARNINGS Sitting improperly, out of position or with the seatback reclined too far can take weight off the seat cushion and affect the decision of the passenger sensing system, resulting in serious injury or death in the event of a crash. Always sit upright against your seat back, with your feet on the floor. Do not recline the seatback as this can cause the occupant to slide under the safety belt, resulting in serious injury in the event of a crash. Do not place objects higher than the seatback to reduce the risk of serious injury in the event of a crash or during heavy braking. When you use them properly, the seat, head restraint, safety belt and airbags will provide optimum protection in the event of a crash. 140 Explorer (TUB), enUSA, First Printing E68595Seats WARNINGS Install the head restraint properly to help minimize the risk of neck injury in the event of a crash.
