Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags/Front seats
Front seats
WARNING
. Never adjust the seat while driving to avoid loss of vehicle control and personal injury.
. Before adjusting the seat, make
sure the hands and feet of rear
seat passengers and cargo are
clear of the adjusting mechanism.
. After adjusting the seat, push it
slightly to make sure it is securely locked. If the seat is not
securely locked, it may move or
the seatbelt may not operate
properly.
. Do not put objects under the front
seats. They may interfere with
front seat locking and cause an
accident. You should, however,
store the flat tire repair kit under
the driver’s seat. When storing
the flat tire repair kit, always
secure it with Velcro. Otherwise,
it will not remain stationary and it
may interfere with driver’s seat
locking and cause an accident.
. Seatbelts provide maximum restraint when the occupant sits
well back and upright in the seat.
To reduce the risk of sliding
under the seatbelt in a collision,
the front seatbacks should be
always used in the upright position while the vehicle is running.
If the front seatbacks are not
used in the upright position in a
collision, the risk of sliding under
the lap belt and of the lap belt
sliding up over the abdomen will
increase, and both can result in
serious internal injury or death.
