page 413).
G
Warning!
Do not adjust the driver's seat while driving.
Adjusting the seat while driving could cause
the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
Never ride in a moving vehicle with the seat
backrest in an excessively reclined position as
this can be dangerous. You could slide under
the seat belt in a collision. If you slide under
it, the seat belt would apply force at the
abdomen or neck. That could cause serious
or fatal injuries. The seat backrest and seat
belts provide the best restraint when the
wearer is in a position that is as upright as
possible and seat belts are properly
positioned on the body.
G
Warning!
Your seat must be adjusted so that you can
correctly fasten your seat belt.
Observe the following points:
Adjust the seat backrest until your arms are
R
slightly angled when holding the steering
wheel.
Adjust the seat to a comfortable seating
R
position that still allows you to reach the
accelerator/brake pedal safely. The
position should be as far back as possible
with the driver still able to operate the
controls properly.
Never place hands under the seat or near
R
any moving parts while a seat is being
adjusted.
Failure to do so could result in an accident
and/or serious personal injury.
G
Warning!
The power seats can be operated at any time.
Therefore, do not leave children unattended
in the vehicle, or with access to an unlocked
vehicle. A child's unsupervised access to a
vehicle could result in an accident and/or
serious personal injury.
