Seat adjustment
E00400300558
Adjust the driver’s seat so that you are comfortable
and that you can reach the pedals, steering wheel,
switches etc. while retaining a clear field of vision.
WARNING
l Do not attempt to adjust the seat while
driving. This can cause loss of vehicle con-
trol and result in an accident. After ad-
justments are made, ensure the seating is
locked in position by attempting to move
the seat forward and rearward without us-
ing the adjusting mechanism.
l
Do not allow people or children to ride in
any area of your vehicle that is not equip-
ped with seats and seat belts, and make
sure that everyone travelling in your vehi-
cle is in a seat and wearing a seat belt, or
in the case of a child is strapped in a child
restraint.
l To minimize the risk of personal injury
in the event of a collision or sudden brak-
ing, the seatbacks should always be in the
almost upright position while the vehicle
is in motion. The protection provided by
the seat belts may be reduced significant-
ly when the seatback is reclined. There is
greater risk that the passenger will slide
under the seat belt, resulting in serious in-
jury, when the seatback is reclined.
CAUTION
l Make sure the seat is adjusted by an
adult or with adult supervision for cor-
rect and safe operation.
l Do not place a cushion or the like be-
tween your back and the seatback while
driving. The effectiveness of the head re-
straints will be reduced in the event of an
accident.
l When sliding the seats, be careful not to
catch your hand or foot.
