Seat adjustment
E00400300271
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
!
● Do not attempt to adjust the seat while driving. This
can cause loss of vehicle control and result in an
accident. After adjustments are made, ensure the
seating is locked in position by attempting to move
the seat forward and rearward without using the
adjusting mechanism.
● Do not let children or adults ride in areas of the
vehicle that are not equipped with seats or seat belts.
Also, make sure that all occupants are sitting in
their seats and wearing their seat belts, and that
children are sitting in child restraints.
●
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 reduced significantly
when the seatback is reclined. There is greater risk
that the passenger will slide 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 the like 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 seat rearward, be careful not to
catch your hand or foot.
