●When driving over long dis-
tances, take regular breaks
before you start to feel tired.
Also, if you feel tired or sleepy
while driving, do not force your-
self to continue driving and take
a break immediately.
●Take care when adjusting the
seat position to ensure that
other passengers are not
injured by the moving seat.
●When adjusting the seat posi-
tion, do not put your hands
