Seat adjustment
E00400300415
Adjust the driver’s seat so that you are comfortable and can
reach the pedals, steering wheel, switches etc. while retaining a
clear field of vision.
WARNING
!
● Do not attempt to adjust the seat while driving. This
can cause loss of vehicle control and result in an
accident. After making adjustments, ensure the seat-
ing is locked in position by attempting to move the
seat forward and backward without using the
adjusting mechanism.
● It is extremely dangerous to ride in the vehicle's lug-
gage area (inside or outside). The luggage area and
rear seats should never be used as a play area by
children. In a collision, people or children travelling
unrestrained in these areas are more likely to be
seriously injured or killed.
Do not allow people or children to travel in any area
of your vehicle that is not equipped with seats and
seat belts, and make sure that everyone travelling in
your vehicle is in a seat and wearing a seat belt, or in
the case of a child, is strapped in a child restraint.
●
To minimize the risk of personal injury in the event
of a collision or sudden braking, the seatbacks
should always be in the almost upright position
while the vehicle is in motion. The protection pro-
vided by the seat belts may be significantly reduced
when the seatback is reclined. There is greater risk
of the passenger sliding under the seat belt, resulting
in serious injury, when the seatback is reclined.
CAUTION
!
●
Make sure the seat is adjusted by an adult or with
adult supervision for correct and safe operation.
●
Do not place a cushion or similar between your back
and the seatback while driving. The effectiveness of
the head restraints will be reduced in the event of an
accident.
●
When sliding the seats, be careful not to trap your
hand or foot.
●
When sliding or reclining the seat backward, pay
careful attention to the rear seat passengers.
