Safety system
Seat belts
Always fasten your seat belt before
starting any trip.
Front seats
The front seat can be adjusted by
using the control lever or switches
located on the outside of the seat
cushion. Before driving, adjust the
seat to the proper position so that you
can easily control the steering wheel,
foot pedals and controls on the instru-
ment panel.
At all times, passengers should sit
upright and be properly restrained.
Infants and small children must be
restrained in appropriate child
restraint systems. Children who have
outgrown a booster seat and adults
must be restrained using the seat
belts.
WARNING
Take the following precautions
when adjusting your seat:
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 unex-
pected 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
pedals, causing an accident.
ꢀ NEVER allow children or small
infants to ride in a passenger’s
lap.
ꢀ Do not allow anything to inter-
fere with the normal position and
proper locking of the seatback.
ꢀ Do not route the seat belt across
your neck, across sharp edges,
or reroute the shoulder strap
away from your body.
ꢀ Do not place a cigarette lighter
on the floor or seat. When you
operate 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 pick-
ing small objects trapped under
the seats or between the seat
and the centre console. Your
hands might be cut or injured by
the sharp edges of the seat
mechanism.
