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.

serious injury.

■Adjusting the position of the driver’s side seat back and forward
■ Seat belt hangers
The driver’s side seat can be slid forward
further than the front passenger’s side
seat, thus easing the loading and unload-
ing of luggage into and from the luggage
compartment.
The seat cannot be locked if it slid for-
ward as far as possible. After operating,
return the seat to a lockable position,
and secure it firmly in place.
Stow the seat belts of the outside seats in
their seat belt hangers when not in use.
