CAUTION
When adjusting the seat position
Take care when adjusting the seat position to ensure that other passengers
are not injured by the moving seat.
Do not put your hands under the seat or near the moving parts to avoid
injury.
Fingers or hands may become jammed in the seat mechanism.
Seat adjustment
To reduce the risk of sliding under the lap belt during a collision, do not
recline the seat more than necessary.
If the seat is too reclined, the lap belt may slide past the hips and apply
restraint forces directly to the abdomen, or your neck may contact the
shoulder belt, increasing the risk of death or serious injury in the event of
an accident.
Adjustments should not be made while driving as the seat may unexpect-
edly move and cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.

GS350/250_EE (OM30C36E)
CAUTION
Operating the front passenger’s seat from the driver’s seat (if equipped)
Do not operate the front passenger’s seat when a passenger is seated in it. In
addition, do not let anyone sit down in the front passenger’s seat while the
seat is being operated. The front passenger may catch their legs between the
instrument panel and seat, resulting in injury.
When adjusting the seat positions or the calf support (if equipped)
Make sure to leave enough space around the feet so they do not get stuck.
When using the calf support (if equipped)
Do not operate the calf support when the vehicle is moving.
Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury in the event of sudden
braking or a collision.
Do not sit on the calf support of the passenger seat.
Doing so may cause seat belts to be worn improperly, which may lead to
serious injury or death in the event of sudden braking or a collision.
Do not step on the calf support.
Doing so could damage the calf support, or could cause you to seriously
injure yourself by falling over.
Stow the calf support when you get in or out of the vehicle or when the
calf support is not in use to avoid stumbling over it.
Do not allow anyone to put their hands or feet under the passenger seat
when stowing the calf support.
