WARNING
■For safe driving
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may 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 pos-
ture 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 distances, take regular breaks before you start
to feel tired. Also, if you feel tired or sleepy while driving, do not force yourself to con-
tinue driving and take a break immediately.

WARNING
■Seat adjustment
●Take care when adjusting the seat position to ensure that other pas-
sengers are not injured by the mov- ing 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.
●Make sure to leave enough space around the feet so they do not get stuck.
●When returning the seatback upright, perform seatback angle
adjustment while holding down the seatback.
●To reduce the risk of sliding under the lap belt during a collision, do not recline the seat more than neces-
sary. 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 unex- pectedly move and cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
●After adjusting the seat, make sure that the seat is locked in position.
■Getting in and out of the rear seats
●When getting in or out of the rear
seats, make sure not to get your hands, legs, etc. squashed in the movable or connecting parts.
●When getting in or out of the rear seats, make sure not to trip on the
seat rails.
●After getting in or out of the rear
seats, always make sure the front seat is locked in position.
■When operating the front seat from the rear seat
Make sure that no passenger is
seated in the front seat.
NOTICE
■When adjusting a front seat
When adjusting a front seat, make
sure that the head restraint does not contact the headliner. Otherwise, the head restraint and headliner may be
damaged.
