erly wear the seat belts provided.
CAUTION
Do not drive the vehicle unless the
occupants are not properly seated.

ries can occur in the event of emer-
gency braking or a collision.

the vehicle.
When adjusting the seat, be careful
not to hit the seat against luggage.
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.

ly push up the seat position adjust-
ing lever; the seat may suddenly
