Seats
Note before adjusting
Never attempt to adjust your seat while
operating the vehicle. The seat could
respond with unexpected movement and the
ensuing loss of vehicle control could lead to an
accident.
Also on the passenger side, do not recline the
backrest too far to the rear while the vehicle is
being driven; otherwise, there is a danger in the
event of an accident of 'sliding under' the safety
belt, eliminating the protection normally pro-
vided by the belt.<
Please note the information on damage to
safety belts provided on page49 and the infor-
mation on the active head restraints on
page47.
The concept
