Seats
Note:
Prior to operating the vehicle, the
driver should adjust the seat height
for proper vision as well as fore-aft
placement and seat back angle to
insure adequate control, reach, oper­
ation, and comfort. The headrest
should also be adjusted for proper
height so that when the cushion is
tipped completely forward, it should
form a cradle behind the seat
occupant’s head.
Both the inside and outside rear view
mirrors should then be adjusted for
adequate rearward vision. Fasten seat
belts. Children under the age of six or
under the weight of 23 kg/50 lb
should be seated in the back seat
with an approved restraint system
properly secured.
All seat, headrest, and rearview
mirror adjustments as well as fasten­
ing of seat belts should only be
accomplished before the vehicle is
put into motion.

of the head approximately at ear level.
