- Exercise caution  when  adjusting  the  seat 
height.  Unsupervised or  careless seat ad
justment  can pinch fingers  or hands 
causing  injur ies. 
- While  the  vehicle  is moving,  the  seat
backs  of the  front  seats must  not  be in
clined  too  far  to the  rear because the  ef
fectiveness  of  the  safety  belts  and the 
airbag  system  is severely  compromised -
there  is a risk of  injury. 
- To  reduce the  r isk of  injury  in the  case of 
sudden  braking  or accident,  front  pas
sengers  must  never  ride in  a moving  ve
hicle  wi th  the  seatback  reclined.  Safety 
belts  and the  airbag  system  only  offer 
maximum  protection  when the  seatback 
is upright  and the  safety  be lts  are  prop
erly  positioned  on the  body. The more 
the  seatback  is reclined,  the  greater  the 
risk  of  personal  injury  from  an  incorrect 
seating  pos ition  and improperly  posi
t ioned  safety  belts.
