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 side as well, do not recline
the backrest too far while the vehicle is being
driven, as otherwise there is a danger of sliding
under the safety belt during an accident, elimi-
nating the protection normally provided by the
belt.
<
Please observe the information on using safety
belts provided on page
27 and the information
on the head restraints on page 25 .

Head restraints

cervical vertebrae when accidents occur.
Adjust the head restraints so that their middles
are approximately at ear height.
