 Waterproof and waterrepellent seats
Waterproof and water−repellent seats are installed in your vehicle; however,
the water−repellent effect does not last forever.
CAUTION
 Seat adjustment
 Do not recline the seat more than necessary when the vehicle is in motion
to reduce the risk of sliding under the lap belt.
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.
 After adjusting the seat, make sure that the seat is locked in position.

CAUTION
 While driving
 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, increasing the risk of
death or serious injury to the driver or passenger.
 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 acci−
dent. The adjustment mechanism may also be damaged.
 Adjusting the seat position
 Take care when adjusting the seat position to ensure that other passen−
gers are not injured by the moving seat.

Do not put your hands under the seat or near the moving parts to avoid
injury.
Fingers or hands may become jammed in the seat mechanism.
