• Unexpected movement of the seat or seat back can cause
loss of control
• Take care not to bother the passenger behind you when
adjusting the seat position
• For lap belt-Sit upright in the centre of the seat and wear the
seat belt around your hip and pelvic bones
• Do not place any objects in the path of seat back movement.
Any obstruction in this path prevents the seat back from
being locked, causing severe injuries or death during a
collision
• Always raise the seat back to the proper upright position
before driving
• Never drive the vehicle with the seat folded. In a collision,
there is a risk of serious injury or even death in the absence
of the primary restraint provided by the seat belt.
• To avoid unexpected accidents including severe injuries and
death, sit in the position so that the distance between the
steering wheel and your chest is at least 25 cm, as long as
you are comfortable with driving
• Additional cushion between you and the seat cushion
reduces the frictional force and could make you slide under
the seat belt. This could result in serious injury or death
• Do not insert your hands under the seat or in the path of the
seat movement when adjusting the seat. Your hands or
fingers could get trapped between the seat and the frame
• Do not ride with the seat back reclined too much. You could
slide under the seat belt in a collision, which could result in
severe injury or death. Also, you cannot be protected by the
seat belt and the belt can strangle you or even cut into your
stomach. Therefore, sit up straight in your seat by keeping
your seat back upright while driving
• When returning the seat back to the upright position, hold
the seat back with your one hand and pull the release lever
with the other hand. The more the seat back is reclined, the
greater the restoring force of the seat back is. If you do not
hold the seat back while adjusting the seat back , you could
be injured by the restoring force
