their head or hand out of the window when closing the driver’s door window.

fore the window is fully closed. This allows the window to close completely. Therefore be especially careful that no fingers are trap-
ped in the window.
l The safety mechanism is deactivated while
the switch is pulled up. Therefore be espe-
cially careful that fingers are not trapped in the door window opening.NOTEl The safety mechanism can be activated if the

Seat adjustmentE00400302073
Adjust the driver’s seat so that you are com- fortable and that you can reach the pedals,
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.
l Do not let children or adults ride in areas
of the vehicle that are not equipped with seats or seat belts. Also, make sure that all
occupants are sitting in their seats and wearing their seat belts, and that children
are sitting in child restraints.
l To minimize the risk of personal injury in
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
when the seatback is reclined. There is greater risk that the passenger will slide
under the seat belt, resulting in serious in- jury, when the seatback is reclined.WARNINGl Do not place objects under the seats. This
could prevent the seat from locking se-curely, and it could lead to an accident. It
may also cause damage to the seat or oth-
er parts.CAUTIONl Make sure the seat is adjusted by an adult or
with adult supervision for correct and safe operation.
l Do not place a cushion or the like between
your back and the seatback while driving.The effectiveness of the head restraints will
be reduced in the event of an accident.
l When sliding the seat rearward, be careful
not to catch your hand or foot.Front seat
