WARNING

■

For safe driving

Observe the following precautions.

Failure to do so may result in death or 

serious injury.

A

●

Do not adjust the position of the 

driver’s seat while driving.

Doing so could cause the driver to lose 

control of the vehicle.

●

Do not place a cushion between the 

driver or passenger and the seatback.

A cushion may prevent correct pos-

ture from being achieved, and reduce 

the effectiveness of the seat belt and 

head restraint.

●

Do not place anything under the front 

seats.

Objects placed under the front seats 

may become jammed in the seat 

tracks and stop the seat from locking in 

place. This may lead to an accident 

and the adjustment mechanism may 

also be damaged.

●

Always observe the legal speed limit 

when driving on public roads.

●

When driving over long distances, take 

regular breaks before you start to feel 

tired.

Also, if you feel tired or sleepy while 

driving, do not force yourself to con-

tinue driving and take a break immedi-

ately.
