Avoid wearing clothing that prevents
the belt from fitting properly and pull
the belt in the upper body area periodi-
cally to readjust the tension in order to
avoid a reduction in the restraint of the
safety belt.

If the middle safety belt in the rear is
used, the wider seatback must be
locked, refer to page

safety belt has no restraining action.

Note before adjusting

Never try to adjust your seat while
operating the vehicle. The seat

could respond with unexpected move-
ment and the ensuing loss of vehicle
control could lead to an accident. On
the front passenger side as well, do not
tilt the backrest too far toward the rear
while driving. Failure to observe this
precaution can prevent the belt from
providing effective protection against
injury, as the passenger could slide
under the belt in an accident.

Also observe the information on the
safety belts on page

and on the

head restraints on page
