■Seat adjustment
To reduce the risk of sliding under the lap belt during a collision, do not recline the seat
more than necessary.
If the seat is too rec lined, 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.
Adjustments should not be ma de while driving as the seat may unexpectedly move and
cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.

Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
●Make sure that the seatback is securely locked in position by lightly pushing it back
and forth.

■Jam protection function (vehicles with a power seat)
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury.

●The jam protection function may not work if something gets caught just before the
seatback is fully folded forward. Be careful not to get fingers caught or anything else.
