steering wheel, switches etc. while retaining a clear field of vision.WARNINGl 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
using the adjusting mechanism.

any area of your vehicle that is not equip- ped with seats and seat belts, and make
sure that everyone travelling in your vehi- cle is in a seat and wearing a seat belt, or
in the case of a child is strapped in a child restraint.

the event of a collision or sudden braking,the seatbacks should always be in the al-
most upright position while the vehicle is in motion. The protection provided by theseat belts may be reduced significantly

under the seat belt, resulting in serious in- jury, when the seatback is reclined.CAUTIONl Make sure the seat is adjusted by an adult or
with adult supervision for correct and safe operation.
