hicle
occupants should have the seatback
upright, sit well back in the seat and prop-
erly wear the seat belts provided.
CAUTION
Do not drive with the vehicle occu- pants not properly seated, such as
sitting on top of a folded-down seatback, or in the luggage
compartment. Persons not proper-
ly seated and restrained by seat
belts can be severely injured in the event of emergency braking or a collision.
During driving, do not let passen- gers stand up or move around be-
tween seats. Balance can be un-
steady and severe injuries can oc-
cur in the event of emergency brak-
ing or a collision.! Adjust the driver's seat so that the foot
pedals, steering wheel and instrument
panel
controls are within easy reach of the
driver.CAUTION
Adjustments should not be made
while the vehicle is moving, as the
seat may unexpectedly move and
cause the driver to lose control of
the vehicle.
When adjusting the seat, be carefulnot to hit the seat against a passen-
ger, luggage or rear seat.
After adjusting the seat position, try sliding it forward and backward
to make sure it is locked in posi- tion.
After adjusting the seatback, exert
body pressure to make sure it is
locked in position.
Do not put objects under the seats
as they may interfere with the seat-
lock mechanism or unexpectedly
push up the seat position adjusting

CAUTION!
To reduce the risk of sliding under
the lap belt during a collision, avoid

maximum protection when the driv-
er and the passenger are sitting up
straight and well back in the seats.
If you are reclined, the lap belt may
slide past your hips and apply re-
straint forces directly to the abdo-
men. Therefore, in the event of a
frontal collision, the risk of personal
injury may increase with increasing
recline of the seatback.
