WARNING
QWhen adjusting the seat position
OTake care when adjusting the seat
position to ensure that other passen-
gers are not injured by the moving
seat.
ODo 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.
OMake sure to leave enough space
around the feet so they do not get
stuck.
QSeat 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 unexpectedly
move and cause the driver to lose con-
trol of the vehicle.
