For safe driving
For safe driving, adjust the seat and
mirror to an appropriate position
before driving.
Correct driving posture

A
that you are sitting straight up and
so that you do not have to lean for-
ward to steer. (P.121)
Adjust the seat so that you can
B
depress the pedals fully and so that
your arms bend slightly at the
elbow when gripping the steering
wheel. (P.121)

WARNING
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.
1-1. For safe use
●
Do not adjust the position of the
driver's seat while driving.
Doing so could cause the driver to lose
control of the vehicle.
●
Do not place a cushion between the
driver or passenger and the seatback.
A cushion may prevent correct pos-
ture from being achieved, and reduce
the effectiveness of the seat belt and
head restraint.
Do not place anything under the front
●
seats.
Objects placed under the front seats
may become jammed in the seat
tracks and stop the seat from locking
in place. This may lead to an accident
and the adjustment mechanism may
also be damaged.
●
Always observe the legal speed limit
when driving on public roads.
●
When driving over long distances,
take regular breaks before you start to
feel tired. Also, if you feel tired or
sleepy while driving, do not force your-
self to continue driving and take a
break immediately.
Correct use of the seat belts
Make sure that all occupants are wear-
ing their seat belts before driving the
vehicle. (P.27)
Use a child restraint system appropri-
ate for the child until the child becomes
large enough to properly wear the
vehicle's seat belt. (P.44)
Adjusting the mirrors
Make sure that you can see the rear of
the vehicle clearly, by adjusting the
inside and outside rear view mirrors
properly. (P.131, 133)
