Adjusting the front power seat (if equipped)
WARNING:
Never adjust the driver’s seat or seatback when the
vehicle is moving. You could move out of position to control the
vehicle. Then a serious accident could occur. Sudden braking or a
collision could cause serious injury. Adjust the seat only when the
vehicle is stopped.
WARNING:
Do not pile cargo higher than the seatbacks to
reduce the risk of injuring people in a collision or sudden stop.
WARNING:
Always drive and ride with your seatback upright
and the lap belt snug and low across the hips and the shoulder
belt snug across the chest.
WARNING:
Sitting in a reclined position while the vehicle is
moving is dangerous because you don’t get the full protection
from seat belts. During sudden braking or a collision, you can slide
under the lap belt and suffer serious internal injury, or in a rear end
collision you could fly up and out of the vehicle. For maximum
protection, sit well back and upright.
WARNING:
Sitting improperly out of position or with the seat
back reclined too far can take off weight from the seat cushion
and affect the decision of the passenger sensing system, resulting in
serious injury or death in a crash. Always sit upright against your
seatback, with your feet on the floor.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of possible serious injury: Do not
hang objects off seat back or stow objects in the seatback map
pocket (if equipped) when a child is in the front passenger seat. Do
not place objects underneath the front passenger seat or between the
seat and the center console (if equipped). Check the “passenger airbag
off” or “pass airbag off” indicator lamp for proper airbag status. Refer
to
Front passenger sensing system in the Airbag supplemental
restraint system (SRS) section for additional details. Failure to
follow these instructions may interfere with the front passenger
seat sensing system.
