Seats

Note before adjusting

Never try to adjust your seat while operat-
ing the vehicle. The seat could respond

with unexpected movement, and the ensuing
loss of vehicle control could lead to an accident.
On the passenger seat as well, do not incline
the backrest too far to the rear while the vehicle
is being driven; otherwise, there is a danger in
the event of an accident of sliding under the
safety belt, eliminating the protection normally
provided by the belt.

Also follow the instructions regarding the
height of head restraints on page

and

regarding safety belt damage on page
