Seats
Note before adjusting
Never attempt to adjust or calibrate your 
seat while the vehicle is moving. The seat 
could respond with unexpected movement, and 
the ensuing loss of vehicle control could lead to 
an accident.
Never adjust manually adjustable seats while 
the vehicle is moving, as otherwise the restrain-
ing effect of these seats during accidents could 
be reduced.
Also on the passenger side, do not incline the 
backrest too far to the rear while the vehicle is 
being driven, otherwise there is a danger in the 
event of an accident of sliding under the safety 
belt, eliminating the protection normally pro-
vided by the belt.
