Front passenger's seat
Always move the front passenger seat into the

To avoid contact with the a irbag while it is de­
p loying, do not sit any closer to the instrument
panel than necessary and a lways wear the three­
point safety belt provided adjusted correctly. We
recommend that you adjust the passenger's seat

position .
Do not ride with the seat reclined.

straints: Adjust the head restra int so the upper
edge is as even as poss ible with the top of your
head. If that is not possible, try to adjust the
head restraint so that it is as close to th is posi­
tion as poss ible

& WARNING
-Never ad just the driver's or front passeng­
er's seat while the vehicle is moving.
If you
do this while the veh icle is moving, you will
be out of posit ion. Always ad just the driver's
or front passenger's seat when the vehicle is
not moving .
- Be carefu l when adjusting the seat height .
Check to see that no one is in the way, or se­
rious injury could result!
- Because the seats can be electrically adjust­
ed w ith the ignition off or with the ig nition
key removed, never leave children unattend­
ed in the vehicle. Unsupe rvised use of the
electric seat adj ustments may cause ser ious
m Jur y.
- To red uce the r isk of injury in the case of
sudden b raking or acc ident, front passen­
ge rs must neve r ride in a moving ve hicle
w it h the backrest reclined. Sa fety belts and
the airbag system on ly offer maximum pro­
tect ion when the backrest is upr ight and the
safety belts are properly positioned on the
body. The more the backrest is reclined, the
greater the risk of personal injury from an
incorrect seating position and improper ly
positioned safety belts.
