The seats can be adjusted either manually 
or electrically, depending on the vehicle’s 
equipment.
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!

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 
back reclined. Sitting in an excessively re-
clined position 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 se-
rious or fatal injuries. The seat back and seat 
belts provide the best restraint when the 
wearer is in an upright position and belts are 
properly positioned on the body. Your seat 
must be adjusted so that you can correctly 
fasten your seat belt (
Never place hands under the seat or near 
any moving parts while a seat is being ad-
justed.
Warning!
G
When leaving the vehicle, always remove the 
key from the steering lock and lock your ve-
hicle.
The power seats* can also be operated with 
the driver’s or passenger door open. Do not 
leave children unattended in the vehicle, or 
with access to an unlocked vehicle. Unsu-
pervised use of vehicle equipment may 
cause an accident and/or serious personal 
injury.
