General precautions
WARNING
• Never attempt to adjust whilst the vehicle is moving or the seat is occupied as the
seat may suddenly move and cause the passenger on the seat to be injured.
• Luggage and other cargo should be laid flat in the cargo area. If objects are large,
heavy, or must be piled, they must be secured. Under no circumstances should car
go be piled higher than the seatbacks. Failure to follow these warnings could result
in serious injury or death in the event of a sudden stop, collision or rollover.
• No passenger should ride in the cargo area or sit or lie on folded seatbacks whilst
the vehicle is moving. All passengers must be properly seated in seats and re
strained properly whilst riding.
• Cargo should always be secured to prevent it from being thrown about the vehicle
in a collision and causing injury to the vehicle occupants. Do not place objects in the
seats, since they cannot be properly secured and may hit the front seat occupants
in a collision.
• Make sure the vehicle is in OFF position, shifted to P (Park), and the parking brake
is securely applied whenever loading or unloading cargo. Failure to take these steps
may allow the vehicle to move if the shifter is inadvertently moved to another posi
tion.
• For maximum effectiveness in case of an accident, the headrest should be adjusted
so the middle of the headrest in at the same height of the centre of gravity of an oc
cupant's head. Generally, the centre of gravity of most people's head is similar with
the height of the top of their eyes. Also, adjust the headrest as close to your head
as possible. For this reason, the use of a cushion that holds the body away from the
seatback is not recommended.
• Do not operate the vehicle with the headrests removed or reversed as severe injury
to the occupants may occur in the event of an accident. Headrests may provide pro
tection against neck injuries when properly adjusted.
• Do not adjust the headrest position of the driver's seat whilst the vehicle is in mo
tion.
• Always make sure the headrest locks into position after reinstalling and adjusting it
properly.
