Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
●Do not adjust the position of the driver’s seat while driving.
Doing so could cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.

the effectiveness of the seat belt and head restraint.

tracks and stop the seat from locking in place. This may lead to an acci-
dent and the adjustment mechanism may also be damaged.

● When driving over long distances, take regular breaks before you start to
feel tired.
Also, if you feel tired or sleepy while driving, do not force yourself to con-
tinue driving and take a break immediately.
