Power seat adjustment

When adjusting your seat, always
observe the following precautions
Never try to adjust your seat while
operating the vehicle. The seat
could respond with an unexpected
movement, and the ensuing loss of
vehicle control could lead to an acci-
dent. Never ride with the backrest
reclined to an extreme horizontal angle
– important for front passengers to
remember. Keep the backrest relatively
upright to minimize the risk of sliding
under the safety belt and sustaining
injury in an accident.

Front head restraints

for additional support in the curvature
of your spine's lumbar region.

Head restraints reduce the risk of
spinal injury in the event of an
accident.
The upper hips and spinal column
receive supplementary support to help
you maintain a relaxed, upright position.
Adjust the head restraint.
When moving the head restraints up or
down, do not grab on between the
head restraint and the upper edge of
the backrest to avoid the possibility of
injury.<
