WARNING
■ Seat adjustment (if equipped)
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.
■ When the seatback is folded
●
Do not sit on or place anything on the seatback while driving.
● Be sure to install the seat hook covers on the seat hooks, or you may get
burned when they become hot.
■ When returning the seatbacks to their original position
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.
● Be careful not to get your hands or feet pinched in the seat.
● Make sure the seats are securely locked. Failure to do so will prevent the
seat belt from operating properly.
●
Check that the seat belts are not twisted or caught under the seat.
●
Arrange the seat belts in the proper positions for ready use.
■
Avoiding damage to seat components
Do not hang or attach anything on the seatback striker.
NOTICE
■ Before tumbling, folding up the seats
The seat belts and buckles must be stowed.
■
After returning the third seat (vehicles with transverse type seat)
Make sure that the handle on the rear of the seatback has been secured.
