CAUTION
■Seat adjustment
●Do not recline the seat more than necessary when the vehicle is in motion to
reduce the risk of sliding under the lap belt.
If the seat is too reclined, the lap belt may slide past the hips and apply restraint
forces directly to the abdomen or your neck may contact the shoulder belt,
increasing the risk of death or serious injury in the event of an accident.
●Manual seat only: After adjusting the seat, make sure that the seat is locked in
position.
