WARNING
Observe the following precautions. 
Failure to do so may result in death or 
serious injury.

D
●Do not adjust the position of the 
driver’s seat while driving. 
Doing so could cause the driver to lose 
control of the vehicle.
●Do not place a cushion between the 
driver or passenger and the seatback. 
A cushion may prevent correct pos-
ture from being achieved, and reduce 
the effectiveness of the seat belt and 
head restraint.
●Do not place anything under the front 
seats. 
Objects placed under the front seats 
may become jammed in the seat 
tracks and stop the seat from locking in 
place. This may lead to an accident 
and the adjustment  mechanism may 
also be damaged.
●Always observe the legal speed limit 
when driving on public roads.
●When driving over long distances, take 
regular breaks before you start to feel 
tired. 
Also, if you feel tired or sleepy while 
driving, do not force yourself to con-
tinue driving and take a break immedi-
ately.

WARNING
■When adjusting the seat position
●Take care when ad justing 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.
●Make sure to leave enough space 
around the feet so they do not get 
stuck.
■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 rec lined, 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 unexpectedly 
move and cause the driver to lose control 
of the vehicle.
