CAUTION
To reduce the risk of sliding under the lap belt during a
collision, avoid reclining the seatback any more than needed.
The seat belts provide maximum protection in a frontal or rear
collision when the driver 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 restraint forces
directly to the abdomen. Therefore, in the event of a frontal
collision, the risk of personal injury may increase with
increasing recline of the seatback.

DRIVING POSITION MEMORY
SYSTEM
The micro computer can memorize the position of the driver’s seat,
the height of the shoulder belt anchor of the driver’s seat belt, and the
positions of the tilt and telescopic steering, and outside rear view
mirrors. Two different driving position profiles can be entered into
the computer’s memory.
Recording a driving position in the computer’s memory can only be
done when the ignition key is in the ”ON” position and the shift lever
is in the ”P” position.

telescopic steering and outside rear view mirrors to the desired
position.
2. While pushing the ”SET” button, push button ”1” or ”2” until
the signal beeps.
