Adjusting the front power seat (if equipped)
WARNING: Never adjust the driver’s seat or seatback when the
vehicle is moving. You could move out of position to control the
vehicle. Then a serious accident could occur. Sudden braking or
a collision could cause serious injury. Adjust the seat only when
the vehicle is stopped.
WARNING: Do not pile cargo higher than the seatbacks to
reduce the risk of injuring people in a collision or sudden stop.
WARNING: Always drive and ride with your seatback upright
and the lap belt snug and low across the hips and the shoulder
belt snug across the chest.
WARNING: Sitting in a reclined position while the vehicle is
moving is dangerous because you don’t get the full protection
from seat belts. During sudden braking or a collision, you can
slide under the lap belt and suffer serious internal injury, or in
a rear end collision you could fly up and out of the vehicle. For
maximum protection, sit well back and upright.
WARNING: Sitting improperly out of position or with the seat
back reclined too far can take off weight from the seat cushion
and affect the decision of the passenger sensing system,
resulting in serious injury or death in a crash. Always sit
upright against your seatback, with your feet on the floor.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of possible serious injury: Do
not hang objects off seat back or stow objects in the seatback
map pocket (if equipped) when a child is in the front passenger
seat. Do not place objects underneath the front passenger seat
or between the seat and the center console (if equipped).
Check the “passenger airbag off” or “pass airbag off” indicator
lamp for proper airbag status. Refer to
Front passenger
sensing system
section for additional details. Failure to follow
these instructions may interfere with the front passenger seat
sensing system.
