For maximum safety when adjusting 
the seat position, please observe the 
following:
Never try to adjust your seat while 
driving the vehicle. The seat could 
respond with an unexpected move-
ment, and the ensuing loss of vehicle 
control could lead to an accident. 
Be sure that the safety belt remains 
firmly against your body at all times. In 
the event of a frontal impact, a loose lap 
belt could slide over the hips, leading to 
abdominal injury. In addition, the safety 
belt's restraint effectiveness is reduced 
if the belt is worn loosely.
While driving, do not recline the back-
rest too far (this applies to the 
passenger side especially), because 
otherwise there is the danger of sliding 
underneath the safety belt during an 
accident, thereby negating the safety 
belt's protection.

Correct sitting posture
To reduce strain on the spinal column, 
sit all the way back in the seat and rest 
your back fully against the backrest.
The ideal sitting posture is when your 
head forms a straight line with your 
spine.
For long-distance driving, you may wish 
to increase the backrest angle slightly 
to reduce muscular tension. You should 
be able to grasp the steering wheel at 
its highest point with your arms slightly 
bent.
After a seat adjustment, adjust the 
height of the safety belt also. Refer to 
page
