WARNING
■For safe driving
Observe the following precau-
tions.
Failure to do so m ay result in
death or serious injury.
●Do not adjust the position of the
driver’s seat while driving.
Doing so could cause the driver
to lose control of the vehicle.
●Do not place a cushion between
the driver or passenger and the
seatback.
A cushion may prevent correct
posture from being achieved,
and reduce the effectiveness of
the seat belt and head restraint.
●Do not place anything under the
front seats.
Objects placed under the front
seats may become jammed in
the seat tracks and stop the
seat from locking in place. This
may lead to an accident and the
adjustment mechanism may
also be damaged.
●Always observe the legal speed
limit when driving on public
roads.
●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.

WARNING
■Seat adjustment
●Be careful that the seat does
not hit passengers or luggage.
●To reduce the risk of sliding
under the lap belt during a colli-
sion, do not recline the seat
more than necessary.
If the seat is too reclined, 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
made while driving as the seat
may unexpectedly move and
cause the driver to lose control
of the vehicle.
●Manual seat only: After adjust-
ing the seat, make sure that the
seat is locked in position.

sure that the head restraint does
not contact the headliner. Other-
wise, the head restraint and head-
liner may be damaged.
