WARNING  
Improper use of electrical seat controls can cause serious personal injuries.  
The front seats in your vehicle can be electrically adjusted even when the vehicle key has  
been removed from the ignition or, on a vehicle with Keyless Access, even if there is no key  
in the vehicle.  
Never leave children and persons who need help in the vehicle alone because the  
unsupervised use of the electric seat adjustments can result in serious personal injury.  
Always make sure that no one is in the way while the front seats are being adjusted, or  
while calling up the stored memory settings for the front seats. In an emergency, stop  
automatic seat adjustment by pressing a seat adjustment switch.  
NOTICE  
To help prevent damage to electrical parts in the seat, do not kneel on the front seats or apply  
concentrated pressure to a small area of the seat or backrest.  
If the vehicle battery is too weak, the electrical seat adjustment controls may not work.  
Starting the engine stops seat adjustment.  
When entering and exiting the vehicle, be careful not to come into contact with any switches that  
could change the seat adjustment.
