●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.

■Seat adjustment
To reduce the risk of sliding under the lap belt during a collision, 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 abdo-
men, 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.
●Take care not to hit passengers with the seat. When sliding the seat
rearward, make sure not to squash
the legs of the rear passengers.
●When returning the seatback
upright, perform seatback angle adjustment while holding down the
seatback.
●Do not pull on or use the seat belt
guide to adjust or fold the front 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 mecha-
nism.
■When driving the vehicle
Never operate the seat position
adjustment lever, seatback angle
adjustment lever or seatback fold lever. Doing so could cause an acci-
dent resulting in death or serious
injury.
■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
