Safety features of your vehicle

WARNING - Driver’s seat

• Never attempt to adjust the seat

while the vehicle is moving. This

could result in loss of control,

and an accident causing death,

serious injury, or property dam-

age.

• Do not allow anything to interfere

with the normal position of the

seatback. Storing 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.

• Always drive and ride with your

seatback upright and the lap por-

tion of the seat belt snug and low

across the hips. This is the best

position to protect you in case of

an accident.

• In order to avoid unnecessary

and perhaps severe air bag

injuries, always sit as far back as

possible from the steering wheel

while maintaining comfortable

control of the vehicle. We recom-

mend that your chest be at least

25 cm (10 inches) away from the

steering wheel.

WARNING - Uprighting

seat

When you return the seatback to its

upright position, hold the seatback

and return it slowly and be sure

there are no other passengers

around the seat. If the seatback is

returned without being held and

controlled, the back of the seat

could spring forward resulting in

accidental injury to a person struck

by the seatback.

WARNING - Loose objects

Loose objects in the driver’s foot

area could interfere with the opera-

tion of the foot pedals, possibly

causing an accident. Do not place

anything under the front seats.

WARNING

Do not use a sitting cushion that

reduces friction between the seat

and passenger. The passenger’s

hips may slide under the lap por-

tion of the seat belt during an acci-

dent or a sudden stop. Serious or

fatal internal injuries could result

because the seat belt cannot oper-

ate normally.

(Continued)

If a seat is reclined during an acci-

dent, the occupant’s hips may slide

under the lap portion of the seat

belt applying great force to the

unprotected abdomen. Serious or

fatal internal injuries could result.

The driver must advise the passen-

ger to keep the seatback in an

upright position whenever the vehi-

cle is in motion. In addition, exces-

sive reclining can significantly

reduce the ability of the restraint

system to restrain occupants in

certain accidents, specifically

rollover accidents.

WARNING - Driver respon-

sibility for passengers

Riding in a vehicle with the seat-

back reclined could lead to serious

or fatal injury in an accident.
