A WARNING
-Never adjust the driver's or front passen­
ger seat while the vehicle is moving. If
you do this while the vehicle is moving,
you will be out of posit ion. Always adjust
the driver's or front passenger seat when
the vehicle is not moving.
- Be careful when adjusting the seat
height. Check to see that no one is in the
way, or serious injury could result!
- Beca use the seats can be electrically ad­
justed wi th the ign it ion key removed,
never leave children unattended in the
vehicle. Unsupervised use of the e lectric
seat adj ustments may cause serious in­
jury.
- To reduce the r isk of injury in the case of
sudden braking or accident, front pas­
sengers must never ride in a moving ve­ hicle with the seatback recl ined. Safety
belts and the airbag system offer maxi­
mum p rotection only when the seatback
is upright and the safety be lts a re prop­
erly posit ioned on the body. The more
the seatback is recl ined, the greate r the
risk of personal injury from an inco rrec t
seating position and improperly posi­
t ioned safety be lts!
- Always make sure the front seatbac ks are
in the upright position and securely
locked in place when driving.
