CAUTION
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 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 unexpect-
edly 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 front 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 mechanism.
When driving the vehicle
Never operate the seatback angle adjustment lever or seatback fold strap.
Doing so could cause an accident 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 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.

CAUTION
While driving
Do not adjust the position of the driver's seat.
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 resulting in serious injury or death. 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.
