1-3. Adjustable components (seats, steering wheel, mirrors)

Before driving

AVALON_U_(L/O_0802)

CAUTION

n Reclining adjustment

Do not recline the seat more than necessary when the vehicle is in motion,

to reduce the risk of sliding under the lap belt.

If the seat is too reclined, during an accident 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.
