WARNING
僅 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 accidental injury to a person struck by the seatback.
僅 Riding in a vehicle with the seatback reclined could lead to serious or fatal injury in an
accident.
僅 If a seat is reclined during an accident, the occupant's hips may slide under the lap por-
tion of the seatbelt, 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 whenever the vehicle is in motion.
僅 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 can't
operate normally.
僅 Never attempt to adjust any seat while 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 seat-
back could result in serious or fatal injury in a sudden stop or collision.
僅 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.
僅 In order to avoid unnecessary and perhaps severe air bag injuries, always sit as far back
as possible from the steering wheel while maintaining comfortable control of the vehicle.
