WARNING
• Avoid adjusting the seat while the vehicle
is moving since the seat may move more
than you intend and cause an accident by
impeding operation of the vehicle. Be sure
to stop the vehicle and set the parking
brake before performing any adjustment of
the seat.
• After you have adjusted the seat, gently
move or rock the seat to ensure that it is
locked in the desired position.
• When adjusting the seat, keep your hands
away from the bottom of the seat and from
moving parts of the seat. Otherwise, you
could suffer an injury by getting your
hands and fingers trapped.
