Do not place an object such as a cushion between the seatback and your back:
Putting an object such as a cushion between the seatback and your back is
dangerous because you will be unable to maintain a safe driving posture and the
seat belt cannot function at its full capacity in a collision, which could result in a
serious accident, injury or death.
Do not place objects under the seat:
The object could get stuck and cause the seat to not be fixed securely, and result in
an accident.
Do not stack cargo higher than the seatbacks:
Stacking luggage or other cargo higher than the seatbacks is dangerous. During
sudden braking or a collision, objects can fly around and become projectiles that
may hit and injure passengers.
Make sure luggage and cargo is secured before driving:
Not securing cargo while driving is dangerous as it could move or be crushed during
sudden braking or a collision and cause injury.
Never allow a passenger to sit or stand on the folded seatback while the vehicle is
moving:
Driving with a passenger on the folded seatback is dangerous. Allowing a child to sit
up on the folded seatback while the vehicle is moving is particularly dangerous. In a
sudden stop or even a minor collision, a child not in a proper seat or child-restraint
system and seat belt could be thrown forward, back or even out of the vehicle
resulting in serious injuries or death. The child in the baggage area could be thrown
into other occupants and cause serious injury.
CAUTION
Ø
When operating a seat, be careful not to put your hands or fingers near the
moving parts of the seat or on the side trim to prevent injury.
Ø
When moving the seats, make sure there is no cargo in the surrounding area. If
the cargo gets caught it could damage the cargo.
Ø
(Manual Seat)
When returning a rear-reclined seatback to its upright position, make sure you
hold onto the seatback with your other hand while operating the lever. If the
seatback is not supported, it will flip forward suddenly and could cause injury.
Ø
(Power Seat)
The seat-bottom power adjustment is operated by motors. Avoid extended
operation because excessive use can damage the motors.
Ø
To prevent the battery from running down, avoid using the power adjustment
when the engine is stopped. The adjuster uses a large amount of electrical
power.
Ø
Do not use the switch to make more than one adjustment at a time.
