WARNING - Drivers
 Never adjust the driver’s seat
or seatback when the vehicle
is moving. Doing so could
cause loss of control, and
serious personal injury or
death.
 Do not allow packages or
other objects to interfere with
the normal position of a
seatback. These objects may
prevent the seatback from
locking, which could result in
serious injury or death in the
event of a sudden stop or
collision.
 Always drive and ride with
your seatback upright and
the lap portion of the safety
belt snug and low across the
hips.
 Children can be killed or
injured by the passenger air
bag. The back seat is the
safest place for children 12
and under. Make sure all
children use seat belts or
child seats.

WARNING
To minimize the risk of personal
injury in the event of a collision
or a sudden stop, both the
driver's and passenger's
seatback should remain in an
upright position while the car is
in motion. The protection
provided by the seat belts and
airbags may be reduced signifi-
cantly when the seatbacks are
reclined. There is a greater risk
that the seat occupants will
slide under the belt resulting in
serious injury if a crash occurs
when the seat-backs are
reclined. The seat belt cannot
provide full protection to an
occupant if the seat back is
reclined.
