Removed or improperly adjusted head restraints can result
in serious head and neck injuries in case of a collision. Make
sure that the head restraints are in place and adjusted
before driving
•
Do not recline the seat back more than needed for comfort
while vehicle is in motion. The seat belt is the most effective
when the passenger sits back and straight up in the seat. If
the seat back is reclined too much, then the risks of sliding
under the lap belt and getting injured are increased
•
Do not leave children unattended in parked vehicles. This can
cause unexpected accident
•
You can be hurt by the edges of the mechanism of the seat
when trying to get the small objects (cigarette lighters, coins,
credit cards) under the seat or caught between the seat and
the centre console. Wear protective gloves to prevent injury
•
Never try to adjust the seat while the vehicle is moving
•
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
•
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, you
will be seriously killed or injured as you lose the protection
the seat belt can provide
•
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 10 inches, as long
as you are comfortable with driving
•
Do not place a cigarette lighter on the floor or between the
seats. The gas in the lighter container under the seat is
potentially flammable when it is released from the container
when the seat is moved
•
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
