deploys with considerable force, and
can cause death or serious injury es-
pecially if the front passenger is very
close to the airbag. The front passen-
ger seat should be as far from the
airbag as possible with the seatback
adjusted, so the front passenger sits
upright.

vehicle is moving as the seat may
unexpectedly move and cause the
driver to lose control of the vehicle.

lease the lever and try sliding the
seat forward and backward to make
sure it is locked in position.

your body back against the seat to
make sure the seat is locked in
position.

tion adjusting lever and the seat
may suddenly move, causing the
driver to lose control of the vehicle.
While adjusting the seat, do not put
your hands under the seat or near
the moving parts. Otherwise, your
hands or fingers may be caught and
injured.
