WARNING
Take the following precautions when
adjusting your seat belt:
• NEVER attempt to adjust the seat
whilst the vehicle is moving. The
seat could respond with unexpect-
ed movement and may cause loss
of vehicle control resulting in an
accident.
• NEVER use one seat belt for more
than one occupant.
• Always position the seatback
upright with the lap portion of the
seat belt snug and low across the
hips.
• Do not place anything under the
front seats. Loose objects in the
driver’s foot area could interfere
with the operation of the foot ped-
als, causing an accident.
• NEVER allow children or small
infants to ride in a passenger’s lap.
• Do not route the seat belt across
your neck, across sharp edges, or
reroute the shoulder strap away
from your body.
• Do not allow anything to interfere
with the normal position and prop-
er locking of the seatback.
• Do not place a cigarette lighter on
the floor or seat. When you oper-
ate the seat, gas may exit out of
the lighter causing a fire.
• Do not allow the seat belt to
become caught or jammed.
• Use extreme caution when picking
small objects trapped under the
seats or between the seat and the
centre console. Your hands might
be cut or injured by the sharp edg-
es of the seat mechanism.
