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.
■
Flattening the seats
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.
●
Do not flatten the seats while driving.
●
In a flat place, firmly apply the parking brake and shift the shift position to
P.
●
Do not flatten the seats if they are occupied.
●
Be careful not to get feet or hands caught in the moving parts or joints of
the seats while flattening.
●
Do not allow children to flatten the seats.
●
Do not drive with passengers sitting on the flattened seatback or in the lug-
gage compartment.
