WARNING -
Driver’s Seat
Adjusting the driver’s seat with
the vehicle in motion could
cause loss of control and a
serious accident.
Do not allow anything to inter-
fere with the normal position of
the seatback. Storing items
against a seatback or in any
other way interfering with prop-
er locking of a seatback could
result in serious or fatal injury
in a sudden stop or collision.
Always drive and ride with your
seatback upright and the lap
portion of the safety belt, or lap
belt, snug and low across the
hips. This position puts your
safety belts in the best position
to protect you in case of an
accident.
