ate when the driver exits the vehicle.

CAUTION
■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 yo ur 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 driv ing as the seat may unexpectedly move
and cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
