In a sudden stop or collision, the seat or seatback could move, causing injury. Make sure the adjustable components of the seat are locked in place by attempting to slide the seat forward and backward and rocking the seatback. (Electrically operated seats) The seat-bottom tilt, seat height, seat slide, and seat recline can be electrically adjusted. Move them to the desired positions by using the switch on the seat's lower side. WARNING Driver's Seat Adjustment: Adjusting the driver's seat while the vehicle is moving is dangerous. The driver could lose control of the vehicle and have an accident. Adjust the driver's seat only when the vehicle is stopped. To move a seat forward or backward, raise the lever and slide the seat to the desired position and release the lever. Lever CAUTION • The seat-bottom power adjust is operated by a motor. Avoid extended operation because excessive use can damage the motor. • To prevent the battery from running down, avoid using the power adjust when the engine is stopped. The adjuster uses a great amount of electric power. • Don't use the switch to make more than one adjustment at a time. Make sure the lever returns to its original position and the seat is locked in place by attempting to push it forward and backward. 2-3 Form No. 8Q44-EA-01K
