Safety notes
G
Warning!
All seat adjustments, as well as fastening
of seat belts, must be done before the
vehicle is operated.
G
Warning!
When adjusting the seat, make sure no one
becomes trapped.
Do not adjust the driver's seat while
driving. Adjusting the seat while driving
could cause the driver to lose control of the
vehicle.
Never ride in a moving vehicle with the seat
backrest in an excessively reclined
position as this can be dangerous. You
could slide under the seat belt in a
collision. If you slide under the seat belt,
it could apply force at the abdomen or neck,
potentially causing serious or fatal
injuries. The seat backrest and seat belts
provide the best restraint when the wearer
is in a position that is as upright as
possible and seat belts are properly
positioned on the body.
Your seat must be adjusted so that you can
correctly fasten your seat belt.
Observe the following points:
Adjust the seat backrest until your arms
R
are slightly angled when holding the
steering wheel.
Adjust the seat to a comfortable seating
R
position that still allows you to reach the
accelerator/brake pedal safely. The
position should be as far to the rear as
possible, consistent with ability to
properly operate controls.
Never place hands under the seat or near
R
any moving parts while a seat is being
adjusted.
Failure to do so could result in an accident
and/or serious personal injury.
