CAUTION
■
Seat adjustment
●
Be careful that the seat does not hit passengers or luggage.
●
To reduce the risk of sliding under the lap belt during a collision, do not
recline the seat more than necessary.
If the seat is too reclined, the lap belt may slide past the hips and apply
restraint forces directly to the abdomen, or your neck may contact the
shoulder belt, increasing the risk of death or serious injury in the event of
an accident.
Adjustments should not be made while driving as the seat may unexpect-
edly move and cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
●
After adjusting the seat, make sure that the seat is locked in position.
●
Never allow anyone to touch seatback lock release levers while the vehi-
cle is moving.
●
If anyone is in the vicinity, make sure they are clear of the seat back path
and let them know that the seat is about to move.
■
After returning the seatback to the upright position
Make sure the seatback is securely locked by pushing it forward and rear-
ward. Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
NOTICE
■
To prevent the seat lock mechanism malfunction
Do not use the seatback angle adjustment lever and seatback lock release
lever at the same time. If they are used together, the seat lock mechanism
may be damaged.
