SEATS  
.
To help avoid risk of injury or  
death through unintended opera-  
tion of the vehicle and/or its  
systems, do not leave children,  
people who require the assis-  
tance of others or pets unat-  
t e n d e d i n y o u r v e h i c l e .  
Additionally, the temperature in-  
side a closed vehicle on a warm  
day can quickly become high  
enough to cause a significant risk  
of injury or death to people and  
pets.  
.
.
Do not adjust the driver’s seat  
while driving so full attention may  
be given to vehicle operation. The  
seat may move suddenly and  
could cause loss of control of  
the vehicle.  
The seatback should not be re-  
clined any more than needed for  
comfort. Seat belts are most ef-  
fective when the passenger sits  
well back and straight up in the  
seat. If the seatback is reclined,  
the risk of sliding under the lap  
belt and being injured is in-  
creased.

After adjustment, gently rock in  
the seat to make sure it is se-  
curely locked.  
Do not leave children unattended  
inside the vehicle. They could  
unknowingly activate switches  
or controls. Unattended children  
could become involved in serious  
accidents.  
WARNING  
.
Do not ride in a moving vehicle  
when the seatback is reclined.  
This can be dangerous. The  
shoulder belt will not be against  
your body. In an accident, you  
could be thrown into it and re-  
ceive neck or other serious inju-  
ries. You could also slide under  
the lap belt and receive serious  
internal injuries.

when the vehicle is in motion, the  
seat should be upright. Always sit
