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
D
occupants are properly seated. Do
not allow any occupants to sit on
top of a folded−down seatback, or
in the luggage compartment or car-
go area. If the occupants are im-
properly seated or restrainted by
seat belts, death or serious injury
could result in the event of emer-
gency braking, sudden swerving or
an accident.
During driving, do not allow any
D
passengers to stand up or move
around between seats. Otherwise,
death or serious injuries can occur

—Seat adjustment
precautions
Adjust the driver's seat so that the foot
pedals, steering wheel and instrument
panel controls are within easy reach of
the driver.
CAUTION
Do not adjust the seat while the
D
vehicle is moving as the seat may
unexpectedly move and cause the
driver to lose control of the vehicle.
After adjusting the seat position, re-
D
lease the lever and try sliding the
seat forward and backward to make
sure it is locked in position.
Make sure the seatback is securely
D
locked by pushing forward and rear-
ward on the top of the seatback.
Failure to do so will prevent the
seat belt from operating properly.
Do not put objects under the seats
D
except for putting them in the auxil-
iary box. Otherwise, the objects
may interfere with the seat−lock
mechanism or unexpectedly push
up the seat position adjusting lever
and the seat may suddenly move,
causing the driver to lose control of
the vehicle.
While adjusting the seat, do not put
D
your hands under the seat or near
the moving parts. Otherwise, your
hands or fingers may be caught and
injured.
