Warning!
Do not adjust the driver's seat while
driving. Adjusting the seat while
driving could cause the driver to
lose control of the vehicle.
Never ride in a moving vehicle with
the seat back reclined. Sitting in an
excessively reclined position can be
dangerous. You could slide under
these at belt in a collision. If you
slide under it, the belt would apply
force at the abdomen or neck. That
could cause serious or even fatal
injuries. The seat back and seat
belts provide the best restraint
when the wearer is in an upright
position and belts are properly
positioned on the body.
Never place hands under or near
any moving parts while a seat is
being adjusted.
