Seats


WARNING
► Do not ride in a moving vehicle when the
seatback is reclined. This can be dangerous.
The shoulder belt will not be
against your body. In an accident, you
could be thrown into it and receive neck
or other serious injuries. You could also
slide under the lap belt and receive
serious internal injuries.
► For the most effective protection when
the vehicle is in motion, the seat should
be upright. Always sit well back in the
seat with both feet on the floor and
adjust the seat belt properly. See “Precautions
on seat belt usage” later in this
section.
► After adjustment, gently rock in the seat
to make sure it is securely locked.
► Do not leave children unattended inside
the vehicle. They could unknowingly
activate switches or controls. Unattended
children could become involved
in serious accidents.
► The seatback should not be reclined any
more than needed for comfort. Seat belts
are most effective when the passenger
sits well back and straight up in the
seat. If the seatback is reclined, the risk
of sliding under the lap belt and being
injured is increased.
