WARNING
- Loose objects
Any objects in the driver's foot
area may interfere with pedal
operation, possibly causing an
accident. Do not place anything
under the driver's seat.
WARNING
- Driver's responsibility for pas-
sengers
Riding in a seatback-reclined
seat may lead to serious or fatal
injury in an accident. When a
seatback is reclined in an acci-
dent, the occupant may slide
below the lap portion of the seat
belt and be applied with great
force
on
the
unprotected
abdomen. Serious or fatal inter-
nal injuries may result. The driv-
er must advise passengers to
keep the seatback in an upright
position whenever the vehicle is
in motion.
WARNING
Do not place a seat cushion,
because it reduces friction
between a seat and a passenger.
The passenger may slide below
the lap portion of the seat belt in
an accident or a sudden stop.
Serious or fatal internal injuries
may result because the seat belt
does not normally operate.

WARNING
- Driver's seat
• Never attempt to adjust the
seat position while the vehicle
is in motion. This may result in
loss of control and an acci-
dent, causing death, serious
injury, or property damage.
• Do not allow anything to dis-
turb the seatback position.
Any items stored behind a
seatback or any other items,
which disturb the proper
latching of a seatback, may
result in serious or fatal injury
in a sudden stop or collision.
• Always drive and ride with
your seatback 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 acci-
dent.
• In order to avoid unnecessary
and perhaps severe air bag
injuries, always sit as far back
as possible from the steering
wheel
while
maintaining the control of the
vehicle. We recommend that
your chest be at least 10 inch-
es (250mm) away from the
steering wheel.
