WARNING
nUprighting seat
When you return the seatback to itsupright position, hold the seatbackand return it slowly and be surethere are no other occupants aroundthe seat. If the seatback is returnedwithout being held and controlled,the back of the seat could springforward resulting in accidental injuryto a person struck by the seatback.
WARNING
nDriver responsibility for pas‐sengers
Riding in a vehicle with the seatbackreclined could lead to serious or fatalinjury in an accident. If a seat is re‐clined during an accident, the occu‐pant’s hips may slide under the lapportion of the seat belt, applyinggreat force to the unprotected abdo‐men. Serious or fatal internal injuriescould result. The driver must advisethe passenger to keep the seatbackin an upright position whenever thevehicle is in motion.
WARNING
Do not use a sitting cushion that re‐duces friction between the seat andpassenger. The passenger's hipsmay slide under the lap portion ofthe seat belt during an accident or asudden stop. Serious or fatal internalinjuries could result because the seatbelt can't operate normally.
WARNING
nDriver’s seat
•Never attempt to adjust the seatwhile the vehicle is moving. Thiscould result in loss of control, andan accident causing death, seriousinjury, or property damage.

Feature of Seat Leather
• Leather is made from the outer skin of an animal, which goes through a
special process to be available for use. Since it is a natural substance,
each part differs in thickness or den‐
sity.
Wrinkles may appear as a natural re‐
sult of stretching and shrinking de‐
pending on the temperature and hu‐ midity.
• The seat is made of stretchable fab‐ ric to improve comfort.
• The parts contacting the body are curved and the side supporting area
is high which provides driving comfort
and stability.
• Wrinkles may appear naturally from usage. It is not a fault of the product.
