■Seat adjustment
●Take care when adjusting the seat position to ensure that other pas-
sengers are not injured by the mov- ing 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.
●When returning the seatback upright, perform seatback angle
adjustment while holding down the seatback.
●To reduce the risk of sliding under the lap belt during a collision, do not recline the seat more than neces-
sary. 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 unex- pectedly move and cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
●After adjusting the seat, make sure that the seat is locked in position.
■Getting in and out of the rear seats
●When getting in or out of the rear
seats, make sure not to get your hands, legs, etc. squashed in the movable or connecting parts.

seat rails.

seats, always make sure the front seat is locked in position.
