Seats
Note before adjusting
Never attempt to adjust your seat while
the vehicle is moving. The seat could
respond with unexpected movement, and the
ensuing loss of vehicle control could lead to an
accident.
On the front passenger seat as well, do not
incline the backrest too far to the rear while the
vehicle is being driven, as otherwise there is a
danger in the event of an accident of sliding
under the safety belt, eliminating the protection
normally provided by the belt.<
Comply with the instructions on head restraint
height on page40, and on damaged safety
belts on page43.

page39 to ensure the best possible per-

position.
After releasing the lever, move the seat gently
forward or back to make sure it engages prop-
erly.

plementary support to help you maintain a
relaxed, upright sitting position.
