Avoid extended operation because excessive use can damage the motors. To prevent the battery from running down, avoid using the power adjustment when the engine is stopped. The adjuster uses a large amount of electrical power. Don't use the switch to make more than one adjustment at a time. WARNING Reclining: Sitting in a reclined position while the vehicle is moving is dangerous because you don't get the full protection from seat belts.
