Precautions
WARNING
• 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
accident.
• When resetting the seatback to the upright position, make sure it is securely latched
by pushing it forward and backwards.
• Riding in a vehicle with the seatback reclined could lead to serious or fatal injury in
an accident.
• If a seat is reclined during an accident, the occupant's hips may slide under the lap
portion 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.
• 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 acci
dent or a sudden stop. Serious or fatal internal injuries could result because the seat
belt can't operate normally.
• Do not adjust the seat whilst wearing seat belts. Moving the seat cushion forward
may cause strong pressure on the abdomen.
• After adjusting the seat, always check that it is securely locked into place by at
tempting to move the seat forward or backward without using the lock release lever.
Sudden or unexpected movement of the driver's seat could cause you to lose con
trol of the vehicle resulting in an accident.
• Use extreme caution so that hands or other objects are not caught in the seat
mechanisms whilst the seat is moving.
• Do not allow anything to interfere with the normal position of the seatback. Stor
ing items against a seatback or in any other way interfering with proper locking of a
seatback could result in serious or fatal injury in a sudden stop or collision.
• If there are occupants in the rear seats, be careful whilst adjusting the front seat po
sition.
• Use extreme caution when picking small objects trapped under the seats or be
tween the seat and the centre console. Your hands might be cut or injured by the
sharp edges of the seat mechanism.

thrown forward resulting in serious injury or death in the event of a sudden stop or
collision.
