2 Seat height
3 Seat angle

Warning!

All seat, steering wheel, and rear view mirror

adjustments, as well as fastening of seat

belts, must be done before the vehicle is put

into motion.

Warning!

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 place hands under the seat or near

any moving parts while a seat is being ad-

justed.

Never ride in a moving vehicle with the seat

back in an excessively reclined position as

this can be dangerous. You could slide un-

der the seat belt in a collision. If you slide

under it, the belt would apply force at the ab-

domen 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 posi-

tioned on the body. Your seat must be ad-

justed so that you can correctly fasten your

seat belt (

page 45).

Warning!

When leaving the vehicle, always remove the

SmartKey from the starter switch, take it

with you, and lock the vehicle.

Even with the SmartKey removed from the

starter switch or the vehicle, the seats can

be operated. Therefore, do not leave chil-

dren unattended in the vehicle, or with ac-

cess to an unlocked vehicle. Unsupervised

use of vehicle equipment may cause an ac-

cident and/or serious personal injury.
