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 acci-
dent, you could be thrown into it and
receive neck or other serious inju-
ries. 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 and upright in the seat
with both feet on the floor and ad-
just 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 in-

side the vehicle. They could un-
knowingly activate switches or con-
trols or make the vehicle move.
Unattended children could become
involved in serious accidents.

• To help avoid risk of injury or death

through unintended operation of
the vehicle and/or its systems, do
not leave children, people who re-
quire the assistance of others or
pets unattended in your vehicle. Ad-
ditionally, the temperature inside a
closed vehicle on a warm day can
quickly become high enough to
cause a significant risk of injury or
death to people and pets.

• 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 seat-
back is reclined, the risk of sliding
under the lap belt and being injured
is increased.
