WARNING
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
●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  posture  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  s eat
tracks  and  stop  the  seat  from  locking  in  place.  This  may  lead  t o  an  acci-
dent 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 yo u  start  to
feel tired.
Also, if  you feel  tired  or  sleepy  while driving,  do not force y ourself  to con-
tinue driving and take a break immediately.
