Seat

WARNING
Loose objects
Loose objects in the driver's foot area
could interfere with the operation of the
foot pedals, possibly causing an acci-
dent. Do not place anything under the
front seats.
WARNING
Uprighting seat
When you return the seatback to its
upright position, hold the seatback and
return it slowly and be sure there are no
other occupants around the seat. If the
seatback is returned without being held
and controlled, the back of the seat
could spring forward resulting in acci-
dental injury to a person struck by the
seatback.
WARNING
Driver responsibility for passengers
Riding in a vehicle with the seatback
reclined could lead to serious or fatal
injury in an accident. If a seat is reclined
during an accident, the occupant's hips
may slide under the lap portion of the
seat belt applying great force to the
unprotected abdomen. Serious or fatal
internal injuries could result. The driver
must advise the passenger to keep the
seatback in an upright position when-
ever the vehicle is in motion.

WARNING
Do not use a sitting cushion that reduces
friction between the seat and passenger.
The passenger's hips may slide under
the lap portion of the seat belt during an
accident or a sudden stop. Serious or
fatal internal injuries could result
because the seat belt cannot operate
normally.
WARNING
Driver's seat
僅 Never attempt to adjust the seat
whilst the vehicle is moving. This
could result in loss of control, and an
accident causing death, serious injury,
or property damage.
僅 Do not allow anything to interfere with
the normal position of the seatback.
Storing items against a seatback or in
any other way interfering with proper
locking of a seatback could result in
serious or fatal injury in a sudden stop
or collision.
僅 Always drive and ride with your seat-
back upright and the lap portion of
the seat belt snug and low across the
hips.This is the best position to protect
you in case of an accident.
僅 In order to avoid unnecessary and
perhaps severe air bag injuries,
always sit as far back as possible from
the steering wheel whilst maintaining
comfortable control of the vehicle. We
recommend that your chest be at
least 25 cm (10 inches) away from the
steering wheel.
