46 Seats and Restraints
{Warning
Make sure not to hit passengers
or luggage when adjusting your
seat. You and others could be
seriously injured.
Driver’s Seat
The driver's seat must be adjusted
so that when you sit well back in the
seat, you can fully press the pedals
without moving your back from the
seatback, and you can operate the
steering wheel easily and freely.
After making adjustments, check
that the seat is completely locked.
Adjusting the seat for a correct
driving posture is a fundamental
part of safe driving. Forward/backward Adjustment
While raising the unlock lever, move
the seat forward or backward.
Release the lever when the seat is
in the desired position. After making
adjustments, try to move the seat
back and forth to check that it is
fully locked.
Reclining Adjustment
{Warning
To reduce the risk of sliding under
the lap belt during a collision, an
occupied reclining seat should not
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
be reclined any more than
needed for comfort. The seatback
and seat belts provide best
restraint only when the rider is
sitting well back and straight up in
the seat. (The lap belt is designed
to spread the force of a collision
over the hipbone. If you are
reclined, the lap belt may slide
past your hips and apply restraint
forces directly to the abdomen.
Therefore, in the event of a
collision, the risk of personal
injury will increase with increasing
recline of the seatback). You and
others could be seriously injured.
{Warning
Do not adjust the reclining
seatback on the driver's seat
while the vehicle is moving. The
seatback could jerk and cause a
loss of control. You and others
could be seriously injured.
