Safety features of your vehicle
WARNING- Driver’s seat
Never attempt to adjust the
seat while the vehicle is mov-
ing. This could result in loss of
control, and an accident caus-
ing death, serious injury, or
property damage.
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
proper locking of a seatback
could result in serious or fatal
injury in a sudden stop or col-
lision.
Always drive and ride with your
seatback upright and the lap
portion of the seat belt snug
and low across the hips. This
is the best position to protect
you in case of an accident.
(Continued)WARNING- Loose
objects
Loose objects in the driver’s
foot area could interfere with
the operation of the foot pedals,
possibly causing an accident.
Do not place anything under the
front seats.WARNING- Driver
responsibility for passen-
gers
Riding in a vehicle with the
seatback reclined could lead to
serious or fatal injury in an acci-
dent. If a seat is reclined during
an accident, the occupant’s
hips may slide under the lap
portion of the seat belt applying
great force to the unprotected
abdomen. Serious or fatal inter-
nal injuries could result. The
driver must advise the passen-
ger to keep the seatback in an
upright position whenever the
vehicle is in motion.
WARNING - Uprighting
seat
When you return the seatback
to its upright position, hold the
seatback return it slowly and be
sure there are no other occu-
pants around the seat. If the
seatback is returned without
being held and controlled, the
back of the seat could spring
forward resulting in accidental
injury to a person struck by the
seatback.
WARNING
Do not use a sitting cushion that
reduces friction between the
seat and passenger. The passen-
ger's hips may slide under the
lap portion of the seat belt dur-
ing an accident or a sudden
stop. Serious or fatal internal
injuries could result because the
seat belt can't operate normally.
