2005 ECHO HATCHBACK from Jul. ’04Prod. (OM52624U)
Front passenger seat
CAUTION
The SRS front passenger airbag also
deploys with considerable force, and
can cause death or serious injury es-
pecially if the front passenger is very
close to the airbag. The front passen-
ger seat should be as far from the
airbag as possible with the seatback
adjusted, so the front passenger sits
upright.
—Seat adjustment precautions
CAUTION
! Do not adjust the seat while the
vehicle is moving as the seat may
unexpectedly move and cause the
driver to lose control of the vehicle.
! Be careful that the seat does not
hit a passenger or luggage.
! After adjusting the seat position, re-
lease the lever and try sliding the
seat forward and backward to make
sure it is locked in position.
! After adjusting the seatback, push
your body back against the seat to
make sure the seat is locked in
position.
! Do not put objects under the seats
except for putting them in the auxil-
iary box. Otherwise, the objects
may interfere with the seat−lock
mechanism or unexpectedly push
up the seat position adjusting lever
and the seat may suddenly move,
causing the driver to lose control of
the vehicle.
! While adjusting the seat, do not put
your hands under the seat or near
the moving parts. Otherwise, your
hands or fingers may be caught and
injured.
