ward-forward position and seatback not
being locked into place securely. If any of
them are not locked securely, adjust themagain. For adjusting procedure, refer to
“Manual seat”F1-5.
If the seatbelt warning device for the front
passenger’s seat does not function cor-
rectly (e.g., it is activated even when the
front passenger’s seat is empty or it is
deactivated even when the front passen-
ger has not fastened his/her seatbelt), take
the following actions.
.Ensure that no article is placed on the
seat other than a child restraint system and
its child occupant, although we strongly
recommend that all children sit in the rear
