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
!
S Do not drive with the vehicle occu-
pants not properly seated, such as
sitting on top of a folded−down

compartment. Persons not proper-
ly seated and restrained by seat
belts can be severely injured in the
event of emergency braking or a
collision.
S During driving, do not let passen-
gers stand up or move around be-
tween seats. Balance can be un-

ing or a collision.
Front seats—
—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.
S Adjustments should not be made
while the vehicle is moving, as the
seat may unexpectedly move and
luggage cause the driver to lose control of
the vehicle.
S When adjusting the seat, be careful
not to hit the seat against a passen-
ger or luggage.
S After adjusting the seat position,
try sliding it forward and backward
to make sure it is locked in posi-
tion.
S After adjusting the seatback, exert
body pressure to make sure it is
locked in position.
