an upright position and the belts
are properly positioned on the
body.

Do not remove head restraints except
when mounting seat covers. For re­
moval refer to " Practical Hints" ,
page 88. Whenever restraints have
been removed be sure to reinstall
them before driving.
Important!
Prior to operating the vehicle, the
driver should adjust the seat height for
proper vision as well as fore/aft place­
ment and seat back angle to insure
adequate control, reach, operation,
and comfort. The head restraint
should also be adjusted for proper
height.
Both the inside and outside rear view
mirrors should be adjusted for ad­
equate rearward vision. Fasten seat
belts. Infants and small children
should be seated in a properly se­
cured restraint system that complies
with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard 213.
All seat, head restraint, and rear view
mirror adjustments as well as fast­
ening of seat belts should be done be­
fore the vehicle is put into motion.
