261-1. For safe use
Make sure that all occupants are 
wearing their seat belts before 
driving the vehicle. (P.27)
Use a child restraint system 
appropriate for the child until the 
child becomes large enough to 
properly wear the vehicle’s seat 
belt. ( P.48)

WARNING
■For safe driving
Observe the following precau-
tions.
Failure to do so m ay 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 seat tracks and stop the 
seat from locking in place. This 
may lead to an accident and the 
adjustment mechanism may 
also be damaged.
●Always observe the legal speed 
limit when driving on public 
roads.
●When driving over long dis-
tances, take regular breaks 
before you start to feel tired.
Also, if you feel tired or sleepy 
while driving, do not force your-
self to continue driving and take 
a break immediately.
●Take care when adjusting the 
seat position to ensure that 
other passengers are not 
injured by the moving seat.
●When adjusting the seat posi-
tion, do not put your hands 
under the seat or near the mov-
ing parts to avoid injury. Fingers 
or hands may become jammed 
in the seat mechanism.
