SEATS AND SEATBELTS

Seat adjustmentEG21A-Ud
Adjust the driver’s seat so that you are com-
fortable and that you can reach the pedals,
steering wheel, switches etc. while retaining
a clear field of vision.
WARNING
(1) If required, always adjust the
seating before the vehicle is in
motion. After adjustments are
made, ensure the seating is
locked in position by attempting
to move the seat and seatback
forward and rearward without
using the adjusting mechanism.
WARNING
(2) It is extremely dangerous to ride
in the luggage area (inside or out-
side) of a vehicle. Also, the lug-
gage area and rear seats should
never be used as a play area by
children. In a collision, people or
children riding unrestrained in
these areas are more likely to be
seriously injured or killed.
Do not allow people or children to
ride in any area of your vehicle
that is not equipped with seats
and seat belts, and make sure
that everyone travelling in your
vehicle is in a seat and wearing a
seat belt, or in the case of a child
is strapped in a child restraint.
In the interest of their safety,
children should not be allowed to
adjust the seats.
WARNING
(3) To minimize the risk of personal in-
jury in the event of a collision or
sudden braking, the seatbacks
should always be in the almost up-
right position while the vehicle is in
motion. The protection provided
by the seat belts may be reduced
significantly when the seatback
is reclined. There is greater risk
that the passenger will slide
under the seat belt, resulting in
serious injury, when the seatback
is reclined.
