3.14 Warning and Caution
• All necessary driver’s seat adjustments should be made
before any driving
• Make sure that your seat is completely locked after adjusting
• Any object that might damage the seat should not be placed
on the seat
• Removed or improperly adjusted head restraints can result
in serious head and neck injuries in case of a collision. Make
sure that the head restraints are in place and adjusted
before driving
• Do not recline the seat back more than needed for comfort
while vehicle is in motion. The seat belt is the most effective
when the passenger sits back and straight up in the seat. If
the seat back is reclined too much, then the risks of sliding
under the lap belt and getting injured are increased
• Do not leave children unattended in parked vehicles. This can
cause unexpected accident
• You can be hurt by the edges of the mechanism of the seat
when trying to get the small objects (cigarette lighters, coins,
credit cards) under the seat or caught between the seat and
the centre console. Wear protective gloves to prevent injury
• Never try to adjust the seat while the vehicle is moving
• Unexpected movement of the seat or seat back can cause
loss of control
• Take care not to bother the passenger behind you when
adjusting the seat position
• Sit upright in the centre of the seat and wear the seat belt
around your hip and pelvic bones
• Do not place any objects in the path of seat back movement.
Any obstruction in this path prevents the seat back from
being locked, causing severe injuries or death during a
collision
• Always raise the seat back to the proper upright position
before driving
• Never drive the vehicle with the seat folded. In a collision, you
will be seriously killed or injured as you lose the protection
the seat belt can provide
• To avoid unexpected accidents including severe injuries and
death, sit in the position so that the distance between the
steering wheel and your chest is at least 25 cm, as long as
you are comfortable with driving
• Do not place a cigarette lighter on the floor or between the
seats. The gas in the lighter container under the seat is
potentially flammable when it is released from the container
when the seat is moved
