Fingers or hands may become jammed in the seat mechanism. ● Make sure to leave enough space around the feet so they do not get stuck. ● Do not allow the front passenger seat to touch the ceiling or sun visor. If the front passenger seat touch the ceiling or sun visor, the SRS airbags may not properly operate, resulting in death or serious injury. ■ Seat adjustment To reduce the risk of sliding under the lap belt during a collision, do not recline the seat more than necessary. If the seat is too reclined, the lap belt may slide past the hips and apply restraint forces directly to the abdomen, or your neck may contact the shoulder belt, increasing the risk of death or serious injury in the event of an accident. Adjustments should not be made while driving as the seat may unexpectedly move and cause the driver to lose con- trol of the vehicle. ■ Operating the front passenger’s seat from the driver’s seat or rear seat (4- passenger models) Do not operate the front passenger’s seat when a passenger is seated in it. In addition, do not let anyone sit down in the front passenger’s seat while the seat is being operated or when the head restraint is being folded. The front pas- senger may catch their legs between the instrument panel and seat, or the head restraint may interfere with their head, resulting in injury. ■ When the front passenger’s seat is folded forward (4-passenger models) If the outside rear view mirror is difficult to see, due to the position of the front passenger’s seat, move the front passen- ger’s seat to an appropriate position. Doing so may lead to mishandling of the vehicle and cause an accident, resulting in death or serious injury. NOTICE ■ Operating the front passenger’s seat from the driver’s seat or rear seat (4- passenger models) Before operating the front passenger’s seat, make sure that there is no luggage or any other objects on the seat or in the footwell that could prevent its operation.
