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
seatback, or in the
compartment. Persons not proper-
ly seated and restrained by seat
belts can be severely injured in the
event of emergency braking or a
collision.

gers stand up or move around be-
tween seats. Balance can be

braking 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 position.
S After adjusting the seatback, exert
body pressure to make sure it is
locked in position.
S Do not put objects under the seats
as they may interfere with the seat-
lock mechanism or unexpectedly
push up the seat position adjusting
lever; the seat may suddenly move,
causing the driver to lose control of
the vehicle.
S While adjusting the seat, do not put
your hands under the seat or near
the moving parts. You may jam your
hands or fingers.
