SeatsWhen adjusting your seat, always
observe the following precautions
Never try to adjust your seat while
operating the vehicle. The seat
could respond with an unexpected
movement, and the ensuing loss of
vehicle control could lead to an acci-
dent. Never ride with the backrest
reclined to an extreme horizontal angle
– important for front passengers to
remember. Keep the backrest relatively
upright to minimize the risk of sliding
under the safety belt and sustaining
injury in an accident.
With the wind deflector in place: never
push the front seats all the way back to
avoid damaging the wind deflector.<
