WARNING

Incorrectly positioned rear seats increase the risk of serious injuries if an accident occurs.

their safety belts fastened correctly.

● Only adjust the rear seats when there is no one within the range of movement of the seats.

If you adjust the rear seats while driving, you will adopt the wrong sitting position. In addition, the rear seats may

move unexpectedly during the journey. This will increase the risk of serious injuries if an accident occurs.

Lighters in the vehicle can become damaged or ignite unintentionally. This can cause severe burns and vehicle

damage.
