Improper use of seat functions can cause injuries.  
Before beginning a journey always adjust to the correct seat position and maintain this throughout the journey. This also applies to all passengers.  
Only switch the massage function on and off when the vehicle is stationary.  
Always keep your hands, fingers, feet and other parts of your body clear of the area in which the seats operate and move during adjustment.
