-Seat adjustment precautions Front passenger seat Adjust the driver's seat so that the foot pedals, steering wheel and instrument panel controls are within easy reach of the driver. D While adjusting the seat, do not put your hands under the seat or near the moving parts. Otherwise, your hands or fingers may be caught and injured. CAUTION The SRS front passenger airbag also deploys with considerable force, and can cause death or serious injury especially if the front passenger is very close to the airbag. The front passenger seat should be as far from the airbag as possible with the seatback adjusted, so the front passenger sits upright. CAUTION D Adjustments should not be made while the vehicle is moving, as the seat may unexpectedly move and cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle. D When adjusting the seat, be careful that the seat does not hit a passenger or luggage. D After adjusting the seat position, release the lever and try sliding the seat forward and backward to make sure it is locked in position. D After adjusting the seatback, push your body to make sure the seat is locked in position. D Do not put objects under the seats. Otherwise, the objects may interfere with the seat-lock mechanism or unexpectedly push up the seat position adjusting lever and the seat may suddenly move, causing the driver to lose control of the vehicle. 45
