PRIUS +_OM_OM47D30E_(EE)
WARNING
■When adjusting the seat position 
● Take care when adjusting the seat position to ensure that other passen- 
gers are not injured by the moving seat. 
● Do not put your hands under the seat or near the moving parts to avoid 
injury. 
Fingers or hands may become jammed in the seat mechanism. 
■ Seat adjustment 
● To reduce the risk of sliding under the lap belt during a collision, do not 
recline the seat more than necessary. 
If the seat is too reclined, the lap belt may slide past the hips and apply
restraint forces directly to the abdomen, or your neck may contact the 
shoulder belt, increasing the risk of death or serious injury in the event of 
an accident. 
Adjustments should not be made while driving as the seat may unexpect- 
edly move and cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle. 
● Manual seats: After adjusting the seat, make sure that the seat is locked in 
position. 
● When returning the seats to their upright positions, be careful not to catch 
the seat belts. 
■ Flattening the seats 
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or 
serious injury. 
● Do not flatten the seats while driving. 
● In a flat place, apply the parking brake firmly and shift the shift position to 
P. 
● Do not flatten the seats if they are occupied. 
● Be careful not to get feet or hands caught in the moving parts or joints of 
the seats while flattening. 
● Do not allow children to flatten the seats. 
● Do not drive with passengers sitting on the flattened seatback or in the lug- 
gage compartment. 
● Do not drive with luggage or passengers on the flattened seats. 
● Do not allow children to enter the luggage compartment.

shoulder belt, increasing the risk of death or serious injury in the event of 
an accident. 
Adjustments should not be made while driving as the seat may unexpect- 
edly move and cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle. 
● After adjusting the seat, make sure that the seat is locked in position.
