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, oper­
ation, and comfort. The headrest
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.

mirror adjustments as well as fasten­
ing of seat belts should be accom­
plished before the vehicle is put into
motion.
