Seat adjustment
E00400300271
Adjust
the driver’s seat so that you are comfortable
and that you can reach the pedals, steering wheel,
switches etc. while retaining a clear field of vision. WARNING
l Do
not attempt to adjust the seat while
driving. This can cause loss of vehicle con-
trol and result in an accident. After ad-
justments are made, ensure the seating is
locked in position by attempting to move
the seat forward and rearward without us-
ing the adjusting mechanism.
l Do not let children or adults ride in areas
of the vehicle that are not equipped with
seats or seat belts. Also, make sure that
all occupants are sitting in their seats and
wearing their seat belts, and that children
are sitting in child restraints.
l To minimize the risk of personal injury
in the event of a collision or sudden brak-
ing, the seatbacks should always be in the
almost upright position while the vehicle
is in motion. The protection provided by
the seat belts may be reduced significant-
ly when the seatback is reclined. There is
greater risk that the passenger will slide
under the seat belt, resulting in serious in-
jury, when the seatback is reclined. CAUTION
l
Make
sure the seat is adjusted by an
adult or with adult supervision for cor-
rect and safe operation.
l Do not place a cushion or the like be-
tween your back and the seatback while
driving. The effectiveness of the head re-
straints will be reduced in the event of an
accident.
l When sliding the seat rearward, be care-
ful not to catch your hand or foot. Front seat
