When adjusting the seat position

●

Take care when adjusting the seat position to ensure that other passen-
gers are not injured by the moving seat.

●

Do not put your hands under the seat or near the moving parts to avoid
injury.
Fingers or hands may become jammed in the seat mechanism.

●

Make sure to leave enough space around the feet so they do not get stuck.

■

Seat adjustment

●

Be careful that the seat does not hit passengers or luggage.

●

To reduce the risk of sliding under the lap belt during a collision, do not
recline the seat more than necessary.
If the seat is too reclined, the lap belt may slide past the hips and apply
restraint forces directly to the abdomen, or your neck may contact the
shoulder belt, increasing the risk of death or serious injury in the event of
an accident.
Adjustments should not be made while driving as the seat may unexpect-
edly move and cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.

●

Manual seat only: After adjusting the seat, make sure that the seat is
locked in position.

NOTICE

■

When adjusting a front seat
When adjusting a front seat, make sure that the head restraint does not
contact the headliner. Otherwise, the head restraint and headliner may be
damaged.
