2017 RENAULT ALASKAN driver seat adjustment

WARNING
• Do not drive and/or ride in the vehicle with
the seatback reclined. This can be danger-
ous. The shoulder belt will not be properly
against the body. In an accident, you and your
passengers could be thrown into the shoul-
der belt and receive neck or other serious
injuries. You and your passengers could also
slide under the lap belt and receive serious
injuries.
• For the most effective protection while the
vehicle is in motion, the seatback should be
upright. Always sit well back and upright in
the seat and adjust the seat properly. (See
“Manual seat adjustment (where fitted)” later
in this section.)
• To help avoid risk of injury or death through
unintended operation of the vehicle and/or its
systems, do not leave children, people who
require the assistance of others, or pets unat- tended in your vehicle. Additionally, the tem-
perature inside
aclosed vehicle on awarm
day can quickly become high enough to cause
as ignificant risk of injury or death to people
and pets.
CAUTION
When adjusting the seat positions, be sure not to
contact any moving parts to avoid possible inju-
ries and/or damages.

belts” later in this section.)
The seatback may be reclined to allow occupants to
rest when the vehicle is parked. WARNING
The seatback should not be reclined any more
than needed for comfort. Seat belts are most

straight up in the seat. If the seatback is reclined,
the risk of sliding under the lap belt and being
injured is increased. Seat lifter:

adjust the seat height until the desired position is
achieved.
2. Tilt up or down the adjusting switch to adjust the front angle of the seat until the desired position is
achieved.
