■ Seat adjustment
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 unexpectedly move
and cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
■ When adjusting the seat position and ottoman angle
Keep sufficient footwell space to prevent your feet from being caught by the front
seat.
■ When returning the rear seats to the neutral position
Wait until passengers have gotten off the rear seat before operating the switch to
avoid injuring the passengers.
■ Using the ottoman
● Do not sit on the ottoman.
If someone sits on the ottoman, the seat belt cannot be fitted properly, and they
may be thrown from the seat resulting in death or serious injury in the event of an
accident or sudden braking.
● When getting in or out of the vehicle, retract the ottoman. If the ottoman is not
retracted, it may cause a fall, resulting in injury.
■ To prevent an ottoman malfunction
● Do not place any objects in the rear seat footwell that could prevent the opera-
tion of the ottoman.
● Do not place heavy luggage on the ottoman.
