WARNING
■When adjusting the seat position
●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.
■Seat adjustment
●Be careful that the seat does not hit passengers or luggage.
●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.
NOTICE
■When adjusting a front seat
When adjusting a front seat, make
sure that the head restraint does not contact the headliner. Otherwise, the head restraint and headliner may be
