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.
Seat cushion height (for driver’s seat)

cushion:
Push down the lever several times,to lower the seat cushion.

Height adjustment
You can adjust the height of the

four different positions for maximum
comfort and safety.

adjusted so it lies across your chest
and midway over your shoulder near-
est the door, not over your neck.
NOTICE

Improperly positioned seat
belts may increase the risk of
serious injury in an accident.
Take the following precautions
when adjusting the seat belt:
Position the lap portion of the
seat belt as low as possible
across your hips, not on your
waist, so that it fits snugly.
This allows your strong pelvic
bones to absorb the force of
the crash, reducing the
chance of internal injuries. (Continued)

shoulder belt and the other over
the belt, as shown in the illus-
tration.
Always position the shoulder
belt anchor into the locked
position at the appropriate
height.
Never position the shoulder
belt across your neck or face.
