Seat adjustment

Seat adjustment
Adjust the driver's seat so that you are com-
fortable and that you can reach the pedals,
steering wheel, switches etc. while retaining
4
a clear field of vision.
WARNING
l
Do not attempt to adjust the seat while
driving. This can cause loss of vehicle con-
trol and result in an accident. After ad-
justments are made, ensure the seating is
locked in position by attempting to move
the seat forward and rearward without
using the adjusting mechanism.
l It is extremely dangerous to ride in the
luggage area of a vehicle. Also, the lug-
gage area and rear seats should never be
used as a play area by children. In a colli-
sion, people or children riding unrestrain-
ed in these areas are more likely to be se-
riously injured or killed.
l Do not allow people or children to ride in
any area of your vehicle that is not equip-
ped with seats and seat belts, and make
sure that everyone travelling in your vehi-
cle is in a seat and wearing a seat belt, or
in the case of a child is strapped in a child
restraint.

WARNING
l
To minimize the risk of personal injury in
E00400302187
the event of a collision or sudden braking,
the seatbacks should always be in the al-
most upright position while the vehicle is
in motion. The protection provided by the
seat belts may be reduced significantly
when the seatback is reclined. There is
greater risk that the passenger will slide
under the seat belt, resulting in serious in-
jury, when the seatback is reclined.
l
Do not place objects under the seats. This
could prevent the seat from locking se-
curely, and it could lead to an accident. It
may also cause damage to the seat or oth-
er parts.
CAUTION
l
Make sure the seat is adjusted by an adult or
with adult supervision for correct and safe
operation.
l Do not place a cushion or the like between
your back and the seatback while driving.
The effectiveness of the head restraints will
be reduced in the event of an accident.
l The reclining mechanism of the front seat's
seatback is spring loaded, causing it to return
to the vertical position when the lock lever is
operated. When using the lever, sit close to
the seatback or hold it with your hand to
control its return motion.
l When sliding the seats, be careful not to
catch your hand or foot.
OGKE18E1
CAUTION
l
When sliding or reclining the seat rearward,
pay careful attention to the rear seat passen-
gers.
