WARNING - Driver’s seat
Never attempt to adjust the seat while the vehicle is mov-
ing. This could result in loss of
control of your vehicle.
Do not allow anything to inter- fere with the normal position
of the seatback and seatback
adjustment.
Always drive and ride with your seatback upright and the
lap portion of the seat belt
snug and low across the hips.
This is the best position to pro-
tect you in case of an accident.
In order to avoid unnecessary and perhaps severe air bag
injuries, always sit as far back
as possible from the steering
wheel while maintaining com-
fortable control of the vehicle.
We recommend that your chest
be at least 25 cm (10 inches)
away from the steering wheel.WARNING - Rear seat-

The rear seatback must be securely latched. If not, pas-
sengers and objects could be

Luggage and other cargo should be laid flat in the cargo
area. If objects are large,
heavy, or must be piled, they
must be secured. Under no
circumstances should cargo
be piled higher than the seat-
backs. Failure to follow these
warnings could result in seri-
ous injury or death in the
event of a sudden stop, colli-
sion or rollover.

To fasten your seat belt, pull it out of
the retractor and insert the metal tab

ward too quickly.
