unattended  in the  vehicle  -they  could  be 
injured! 
- Exercise caution  when  adjusting  the  seat 
height.  Unsupervised or  careless seat ad
justment  can pinch fingers  or  hands  causing  injuries. 
- 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  risk  of  injury  in the  case of 
sudden  braking  or  accident,  front  pas
sengers must  never  ride in  a moving  ve
hicle  with  the  seatback  reclined . Safety 
belts  and  the airbag  system  only  offer 
maximum  protection  when  the  seatback 
is upright  and the  safety  belts  are  prop
erly  positioned  on the  body. The more 
the  seatback  is reclined,  the  greater  the 
risk  of  personal  injury from  an  incorrect 
seating  position  and  improperly  posi
tioned  safety  belts .
