tion
●Take care when adjusting the

other passengers 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

●Be careful that the seat does 
not hit passengers or luggage.
●To reduce the risk of sliding 
under the lap bel t during a colli-
sion, 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 for ces directly to 
the abdomen, or your neck may 
contact the shoulder belt, increas-
ing 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.
