the vehicle quickly and safely;
so that you can drive or ride relaxed and
help reduce fatigue;
and for maximum protection of­
fered by the safety belts and air­
bag system.
Therefore, always adjust the position of the
seat as described on the following pages.

hicle is moving. Your seat may
move unexpectedly, causing sud·
den loss of vehicle control and
personal injury.

�W ARNING
• Always keep both feet on the
floor in front of the seat.
• Never place your feet on the in­
strument panel or on the seat. If
the airbag inflates and your feet
are on the instrument panel or on
the seat, you could receive serious
personal injuries to the legs, hips
and even the head if the airbag in­
flates.

ARNING
• To reduce the risk of personal in­
jury in an accident, front seat pas­
sengers must never ride in a mov­
ing vehicle with the seatback re­
clined. Safety belts offer protec­
tion only when the seatback is up­
right and belts are properly posi­
tioned on the body. The more the
seatback is reclined, the greater
the risk of perso nal injury from an
out-of -position safety belt.
• Never store items under the
seats. Loose objects can interfere
with the seat latching mechanism
and can also cause personal injury
in an accident. Seat

The front seat adjustment control switches
are located on the outboard side of each
