ment while driving.

Seat adjustment
●
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.
●
Be careful that the seat does not hit passengers or luggage.
●
Be careful not to get your hands or feet caught in the seat.
■
After adjusting or returning the seats
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.
●
Make sure that the seat and seatback are securely locked in position by
lightly rocking them back and forth.
●
Check that the seat belts are not twisted or caught in the seatback.
