Seat adjustment
E00400300314
Adjust the driver’s seat so th
at you are comfortable and that
you can reach the pedals, steer
ing wheel, switches etc. while
retaining a clear field of vision.
WARNING
!●
Do not attempt to adjust the seat while driving. This can cause loss of vehicle
control and result in an
accident. After adjustment
s are made, ensure the
seating is locked in positi
on by attempting to move
the seat forward and rearward without using theadjusting mechanism.
●
Do not allow people or children to ride in any area of your vehicle that is not equipped with seats and seatbelts, and make sure th
at everyone travelling in
your vehicle is in a seat and wearing a seat belt, or in the case of a child is stra
pped in a child restraint.
●
To minimize the risk of pers
onal injury in the event
of a collision or sudden braking, the seatbacks should always be in th
e almost upright position
while the vehicle is in
motion. The protection pro-
vided by the seat belts may be reduced significantly when the seatback is reclined. There is greater riskthat the passenger will slide under the seat belt, resulting in serious inju
ry, when the seatback is
reclined.
CAUTION
!●
Make sure the seat is adju
sted by an adult or with
adult supervision for corr
ect and safe operation.
●
Do not place a cushion or the like between your back and the seatback while driving. The effectiveness of the head restraints will be reduced in the event of anaccident.
●
When sliding the seats, be
careful not to catch your
