The strength with which the driver's and front passenger airbags are triggered depends on the position of the driver's and front passenger seats.

To maintain the accuracy of this function over the long-term, calibrate the front seats when a corresponding message appears on the Control Display.

3. Readjust the seat to the desired position.

The calibration procedure is completed when the message on the Control Display disappears.
