_&. WARNING
- Never adjust t he driver's or front passen-
ger seat whi le the vehicle is moving. If
you do this while the vehicle is moving,
you will be out of posit ion. Always adjust
the driver's or front passenger seat when
the vehicle is not moving.
- Be careful when adjusting the seat
height. Check to see that no one is in the
way, or serious injury could result!
- Because the seats can be electrically ad-
justed with the ignit ion key removed,
never leave children unattended in the
vehicle. Unsupervised use of the electr ic
seat adju stments may cause serious in-
Jury.
- To reduce the risk of injury in the case of
sudden braking or accident, front pas-
sengers must never ride in a moving
ve-
hicle wit h the seatback reclined. Safety
belts and the airbag system offer maxi-
mum protection only when the seatback
is upright and the safety belts are prop-
er ly posit ioned on the body. The more
the seatback is recli ned, the greater the
risk of personal injury from an incorrect
seating posit ion and improperly posi-
t ioned safety belts!
- Always make sure the front seatbac ks are
in the upright posit ion when dr iving.
