Seats
While the vehicle is being driven, all ve-
hicle occupants should have the seatback
upright, sit well back in the seat and prop-
erly wear the seat belts provided.
CAUTION
! Do not drive the vehicle unless
the occupants are properly
seated. Do not allow sitting on
top of a folded−down seatback,
or in the luggage compartment.
Persons not properly seated and/
or not properly restrained by
seat belts can be severely in-
jured in the event of emergency
braking or a collision.
! During driving, do not allow pas-
sengers to stand up or move
around between seats. Severe in-
juries can occur in the event of
emergency braking or a collision.
Adjust the driver’s seat so that the foot
pedals, steering wheel and instrument
panel controls are within easy reach of
the driver.
CAUTION
! Adjustments should not be made
while the vehicle is moving, as
the seat may unexpectedly move
and cause the driver to lose con-
trol of the vehicle.
! When adjusting the seat, be care-
ful not to hit the seat against a
passenger or luggage.
! After adjusting the seat position,
try sliding it forward and back-
ward to make sure it is locked in
position.
! After adjusting the seatback, ex-
ert body pressure to make sure
it is locked in position.
! Do not put objects under the
seats. The objects may interfere
with the seat−lock mechanism or
unexpectedly push up the seat
position adjusting lever; the seat
may suddenly move, causing the
driver to lose control of the ve-
hicle.
