CAUTION
■When adjusting the seat position
●Take care when adjusting the seat position to ensure that other passengers are
not injured by the moving seat.
●Do not put your hands under the seat or near the moving parts to avoid injury.
Fingers or hands may become jammed in the seat mechanism.
■Seat adjustment
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 unexpectedly move
and cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.

■When adjusting the seat positi ons or the ottoman (if equipped)

●Do not operate the ottoman when the vehicle is moving.
Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury in the event of sudden braking
or a collision.
●Do not sit on the ottoman of the passenger seat.
Doing so may cause seat belts to be worn improperly, which may lead to serious
injury or death in the event of sudden braking or a collision.
●Do not step on the ottoman.
Doing so could damage the ottoman, or could cause you to seriously injure your-
self by falling over.
●Stow the ottoman when you get in or out of the vehicle or when the ottoman is not
in use to avoid stumbling over it.
