Seat adjustmentE00400301887
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 It is extremely dangerous to ride in the
cargo area (inside or outside) of a vehicle. Also, the cargo area and rear seats should
never be used as a play area by children. In a collision, people or children ridingunrestrained in these areas are more like- ly to be seriously injured or killed.
l Do not allow people or children to ride in
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.WARNINGl 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 the seat 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.
l 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 The reclining mechanism of the front man-
ual seat’s seatback is spring loaded, causing
it to fold the seatback forward when the lock lever is operated. When using the lever, sit close to the seatback or hold it with yourhand to control its return motion.
l When sliding the seats, be careful not to
catch your hand or foot.CAUTIONl If your vehicle is equipped with the rear
seat, when sliding or reclining the seat rear- ward, pay careful attention to the rear seat
passengers. (Club cab and Double cab)Front seats
