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 passengers
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
Do not use a aftermarket sitting cushion that reduces frictionbetween the seat and passen-
ger. The passenger's hips may
slide under the lap portion ofthe seat belt during an accident
or a sudden stop. Serious orfatal internal injuries couldresult because the seat belt
can't operate normally.

WARNING
Do not adjust the seat while wearing seat belts. Moving the
seat cushion forward may
cause strong pressure on theabdomen.
Use extreme caution so that hands or other objects are not
caught in the seat mechanisms
while the seat is moving.
Use extreme caution when picking small objects trappedunder the seats or betweenthe seat and the center con-
sole. Your hands might be cut
or injured by the sharp edges
of the seats mechanism.
Do not put a cigarette lighter on the floor or seat. When you
operate the seat, gas maygush out of the lighter and
cause fire.
If there are occupants in the rear seats, be careful while
adjusting the front seat posi-tion.(Continued)
In order to avoid unnecessaryand perhaps severe air bag
injuries, always sit as far back
as possible from the steeringwheel while maintaining com-
fortable control of the vehicle.
We recommend that your chest
be at least 250 mm (10 inches)
away from the steering wheel.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
causing 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 seatbackcould 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.
