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

fore fastening the safety belts.
