Adjusting

Seats

Warning!

G

All seat, head restraint, steering wheel, and

rear view mirror adjustments, as well as fas-

tening of seat belts, must be done before

the vehicle is put into motion.

Warning!

G

Do not adjust the driver’s seat while driving.

Adjusting the seat while driving could cause

the driver to lose control of the vehicle.

Never ride in a moving vehicle with the seat

backrest in an excessively reclined position

as this can be dangerous. You could slide

under the seat belt in a collision. If you slide

under it, the belt would apply force at the

abdomen or neck. That could cause serious

or fatal injuries. The seat back and seat belts

provide the best restraint when the wearer

is in a nearly upright position and belts are

properly positioned on the body.

Warning!

G

Your seat must be adjusted so that you can

correctly fasten your seat belt (

page 48).

Observe the following points:

ț

Adjust the backrest until your arms are
slightly angled when holding the steer-
ing wheel.

ț

Adjust the seat to a comfortable seating
position that still allows you to reach the
accelerator/brake pedal safely. The po-
sition should be as far to the rear as pos-
sible, consistent with ability to properly
operate controls.

ț

Adjust the head restraint so that it is as
close to the head as possible and the
center of the head restraint supports
the back of the head at eye level.

ț

Never place hands under the seat or
near any moving parts while a seat is be-
ing adjusted.

Failure to do so could result in an accident

and/or serious personal injury.

Warning!

G

When leaving the vehicle, always remove the

SmartKey or the SmartKey with

KEYLESS-GO* from the starter switch, take

it with you, and lock the vehicle.

Even with the SmartKey or the SmartKey

with KEYLESS-GO* removed from the

starter switch or the SmartKey with

KEYLESS-GO* removed from the vehicle,

the power seats can be operated when the

respective door is open. Therefore, do not

leave children unattended in the vehicle, or

with access to an unlocked vehicle. A child’s

unsupervised access to a vehicle could re-

sult in an accident and/or serious personal

injury.
