Important!
Prior to operating the vehicle, the driv­

proper vision as well as fore/aft place­
ment and seat back angle to insure
adequate control, reach, operation,
and comfort. The head restraint

Both the inside and outside rear view
mirrors should then be adjusted for
adequate rearward vision. Fasten seat
belts. Infants and small children
should be seated in a properly se­
cured restraint system that complies

ing of seat belts should be done be­
fore the vehicle is put into motion.
