Note:
Prior to operating the vehicle, the
driver should adjust the seat height
for proper vision as well as fore/aft
placement and seat back angle to
insure adequate control, reach,
operation, and comfort. The head
restraint should also be adjusted for
proper height so that when the
cushion is tipped completely
forward, it should form a cradle
behind the seat occupant's head.
Both the inside and outside rear
view mirrors should then be
adjusted for adequate rearward
vision. Fasten seat belts. Children
under the age of six or under the
weight of 23 kg/50 lb should be
seated in the back seat with an
approved restraint system properly
secured.
All seat, head restraint, and rear
view mirror adjustments as well as
fastening of seat belts should only
be accomplished before the vehicle
is put into motion.
