Seat belts
Always fasten your seat belt before
starting any trip.
At all times, passengers should sit
upright and be properly restrained.
Infants and small children must be
restrained in appropriate child restraint
systems. Adults and children who
have outgrown a booster seat must be
restrained using the seat belts.
Front Seats
The front seat can be adjusted by
using the switches located on the
outside of the seat cushion. Before
driving, adjust the seat to the proper
position so that you can easily con-
trol the steering wheel, foot pedals
and controls on the instrument panel.
Take the following precautions
when adjusting your seat belt:
NEVER use one seat belt for more than one occupant.
Always position the seatback upright with the lap portion of
the seat belt snug and low
across the hips.
NEVER allow children or small infants to ride in a pas-
senger's lap.
Do not route the seat belt across your neck, across
sharp edges, or reroute the
shoulder strap away from
your body.
Do not allow the seat belt to become caught or jammed.
WARNINGTake the following precautions
when adjusting your seat:
NEVER attempt to adjust theseat while the vehicle is mov-
ing. The seat could respond
with unexpected movement
and may cause loss of vehicle
control resulting in an acci-
dent.
Do not place anything under the front seats. Loose objects
in the driver's foot area could
interfere with the operation of
the foot pedals, causing an
accident.
Do not allow anything to inter- fere with the normal position
and proper locking of the
seatback.
Do not place a cigarette lighter on the floor or seat.
When you operate the seat,
gas may exit out of the lighter
causing a fire.
Use extreme caution when picking small objects trapped
under the seats or between
the seat and the center con-
sole. Your hands might be cut
or injured by the sharp edges
of the seat mechanism.

Seatback angle
To recline the seatback:
1. Push the control switch forward orrearward.
2. Release the switch once the seat- back reaches the desired position.
Information
The seatback angle adjustment may
be restricted, when the seatback is
reclined to some point. At this time,
release the seatback angle switch and
then re-push the switch rearward. The
front seat will slide forward and the
seatback angle will recline even more. Reclining seatback
Sitting in a reclined position when the
vehicle is in motion can be danger-
ous. Even when buckled up, the pro-
tections of your restraint system
(seat belts and air bags) is greatly
reduced by reclining your seatback.
Seat belts must be snug against your
hips and chest to work properly.
When the seatback is reclined, the
shoulder belt cannot do its job
because it will not be snug against
your chest. Instead, it will be in front
of you. During an accident, you could
be thrown into the seat belt, causing
neck or other injuries.
The more the seatback is reclined,
the greater chance the passenger’s
hips will slide under the lap belt or
the passenger’s neck will strike the
shoulder belt.
i
OHI036004
NEVER ride with a reclined
seatback when the vehicle is
moving.
Riding with a reclined seatback
increases your chance of seri-
ous or fatal injuries in the event
of a collision or sudden stop.
Driver and passengers should
ALWAYS sit well back in their
seats, properly belted, and with
the seatbacks upright.
