WARNING- Driver’s seat
Never attempt to adjust seat whilst the vehicle is moving. This
could result in loss of control,and an accident causing death,
serious injury, or property dam-
age.
Do not allow anything to interfere with the normal position of the
seatback. Storing items against a
seatback or in any other way
interfering with proper locking of
a seatback could result in serious
or fatal injury in a sudden stop orcollision.
Always drive and ride with your seatback upright and the lap por-
tion of the seat belt snug and low
across the hips. This is the best
position to protect you in case ofan accident.
In order to avoid unnecessary and perhaps severe air bag
injuries, always sit as far back as
possible from the steering wheel
whilst maintaining comfortable
control of the vehicle. We recom-
mend that your chest be at least
250 mm (10 inches) away fromthe steering wheel.
WARNING - Uprighting seat
When you return the seatback to its
upright position, hold the seatback
and return it slowly and be surethere are no other occupants
around the seat. If the seatback isreturned without being held and
controlled, the back of the seat
could move forward or backward
resulting in accidental injury to a
person struck by the seatback.
WARNING - Driver respon-
sibility for passengers
Riding in a vehicle with seatback
reclined could lead to serious or
fatal injury in an accident. If a seat is
reclined during an accident, the
occupant’s hips may slide under the
lap portion of the seat belt applying
great force to the unprotected
abdomen. Serious or fatal internal
injuries could result. The driver
must advise the passenger to keep
the seatback in an upright position
whenever the vehicle is in motion.WARNING - Loose objects
Loose objects in the driver’s foot
area could interfere with the opera-
tion of the foot pedals, possibly
causing an accident. Do not place
anything under the front seats.

(Continued)
To avoid the possibility of burns, do
not remove the carpet in the cargo
area. Emission control devices
beneath this floor generate hightemperatures.WARNING - Rear seatbacks
The rear seatback must be secure- ly latched. If not, passengers and
objects could be thrown forward
resulting in serious injury or death
in the event of a sudden stop or col-lision.
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 seatbacks.
Failure to follow these warnings
could result in serious injury or
death in the event of a sudden stop,
collision or rollover.
No passenger should ride in the cargo area or sit or lie on folded
seatbacks whilst the vehicle is
moving. All passengers must be
properly seated in seats and
restrained properly whilst riding.
When resetting the seatback to the upright position, make sure it is
securely latched by pushing it for-
ward and backwards.
(Continued)
WARNING
After adjusting the seat, always check
that it is securely locked into place by
attempting to move the seat forward
or backward without using the lock
release lever. Sudden or unexpected
movement of the driver's seat could
cause you to lose control of the vehi-
cle resulting in an accident.
WARNING
Do not adjust the seat whilst wear- ing seat belts. Moving the seat
cushion forward may cause strongpressure on the abdomen.
Use extreme caution so that hands or other objects are not caught in
the seat mechanisms whilst the
seat is moving.
Do not put a cigarette lighter on the floor or seat. When you operate the
seat, gas may gush out of the
lighter and cause fire.
Use extreme caution when pick- ing small objects trapped under the seats or between the seat and
the centre console. Your hands
might be cut or injured by the
sharp edges of the seat mecha-nism.
