261-1. For safe use
Make sure that all occupants are
wearing their seat belts before
driving the vehicle. (P.27)
Use a child restraint system
appropriate for the child until the
child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat
belt. (

WARNING
■For safe driving
Observe the following precau-
tions. 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 pre-
vent correct pos ture from being
achieved, and reduce the effec-
tiveness 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 adjust-
ment 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.
