SEAT ADJUSTMENT
Important adjustment information
Never try to adjust your seat while
operating the vehicle. The seat could
respond with an unexpected movement,
and the ensuing loss of vehicle control
could lead to an accident.
While driving, do not recline the backrest
too far toward the rear; this especially
applies to the front passenger seat. Other-
wise there is a risk that you will slide under
the safety belt in an accident, thus reducing
the protection provided by the safety
belt.
