Seat adjustment
WARNING
Do not attempt to adjust the seat while
driving. This can cause loss of vehicle con-
trol and result in an accident.
After seat adjustments are made, ensure
the adjusting mechanism (levers or han-
dles etc.) are returned to their original
positions, and the seating is locked in posi-
tion by attempting to move the seat for-
ward and rearward without using the
adjusting mechanism.
It is extremely dangerous to ride in the
luggage area of a vehicle. Also, the luggage
area and rear seats should never be used
as a play area by children. In a collision,
people or children riding unrestrained in
these areas are more likely to be seriously
injured or killed.
Do not allow people or children to ride in
any area of your vehicle that is not
equipped with seats and seat belts, and
make sure that everyone travelling in your
vehicle is in a seat and wearing a seat belt,
or in the case of a child is strapped in a
child restraint.
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 provided 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.
Do not place objects under the seats. This
could prevent the seat from locking
securely, and it could lead to an accident.
It may also cause damage to the seat or
other parts.
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.
The reclining mechanism of the front manual
seat’s seatback is spring loaded, causing it to
fold the seatback forward when the lock
lever is operated. When using the lever, sit
close to the seatback or hold it with your
hand to control its return motion.
When sliding the seats, be careful not to
catch your hand or foot.
WARNING
When sliding or reclining the seat rearward,
pay careful attention to the rear seat passen-
gers.
