SEATS AND PROTECTIVE DEVICES
WARNING
!
Reclining the seatback: Sitting in
a reclined position while the
vehicle is moving can be
dangerous. Even if you're wearing
your seat belt, reclining the
seatback reduces the
eectiveness of your seat belt and
airbags.
Never recline the seatback while
the vehicle is in motion. Riding
with a reclined seatback increases
the risk of serious or fatal injuries
in a crash or sudden stop. Drivers
and passengers should always sit
upright in their seats, properly
restrained, with the seatbacks
upright.
Seat belts need to fit tightly across
your hips and chest to work
correctly. When the seatback is
reclined, the shoulder belt cannot
properly secure your chest-it may
sit in front of you instead. In an
accident, this could cause you to
be thrown into the seat belt,
potentially causing neck or other
injuries.
The more the seatback is reclined,
the higher the risk that the
passenger's hips could slide under
the lap belt or the passenger's
neck could hit the shoulder belt.
d. Seat height adjustment
Electric adjustment*
As shown in the figure, rotate the
height adjustment switch on the
outer side of the seat cushion, and
then release the switch after the seat
is adjusted to proper height.
Manual adjustment*
Turn the handle on the outer side of
the seat upward and downward until
the seat is adjusted to the desired
height. While adjusting the seat
height, the seat must be loaded.
Therefore, please sit on the seat
before adjustment; otherwise the
adjustment device may be damaged.
