Seats

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 properly. For additional information, refer to “Precautions on seat belt usage” 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.
  •  Do not adjust the driver’s seat while driving so full attention may be given to vehicle operation. The seat may move suddenly and could cause loss of control of the vehicle.
  •  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.

 

CAUTION

When adjusting the seat positions, be sure not to contact any moving parts to avoid possible injuries and/or damage.

  •  Do not fold down the rear seats when occupants are in the rear seat area or any luggage is on the rear seats.
  •  Head restraints/headrests should be adjusted properly as they may provide significant protection against injury in an accident. Always replace and adjust them properly if they have been removed for any reason.
  • If the head restraints/headrests are removed for any reason, they should be securely stored to prevent them from causing injury to passengers or damage to the vehicle in case of sudden braking or an accident.
  •  When returning the seatbacks to the upright position, be certain they are completely secured in the latched position.

    If they are not completely secured, passengers may be injured in an accident or sudden stop.

  •  Properly secure all cargo to help prevent it from sliding or shifting. Do not place cargo higher than the seatbacks.

    In a sudden stop or collision, unsecured cargo could cause personal injury.
