The driver’s seat and steering wheel move
in accordance with engine switch mode and
the driver’s seat belt condition. ( P.100)
■When adjusting the seat
●Take care when adjusting the seat so that
the head restraint does not touch the ceil-
ing.
●When folding down a rear seatback, if it
interferes with a front seatback, adjust the
front seat position so that the seats no
longer interfere with each other. How-
ever, if adjusting the front seat position
causes the correct driving posture to not
be maintained, return the rear seatback
to its original position. ( P.99)

WARNING
■When adjusting the seat position
●Take care when adjusting 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 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 control
of the vehicle.
