Power Seats, Front
Warning!
Do not adjust the driver's seat while
driving. Adjusting the seat while
driving could cause the driver to lose
control of the vehicle.
Never ride in a moving vehicle with
the backrest reclined. Sitting in an
excessively reclined position can be
dangerous. You could slide under the
seat belt in a collision. If you slide
under it, the belt would apply force
at the abdomen or neck. That could
cause serious or even fatal injuries.
The backrest and seat belt provide
the best restraint when the wearer is
in an upright position and the belt is
properly positioned on the body.
Never place hands under seat or near
any moving parts while a seat is
being adjusted.
The slide switches are located in each
front door.
Warning!
When leaving the vehicle always
remove the electronic key from the
steering lock.
The power seats can also be operated
with the driver's or passenger door
open. Do not leave children
unattended in the vehicle or with
access to an unlocked vehicle.
Unsupervised use of vehicle
equipment may cause serious personal
injury.
Turn electronic key in steering lock to
position 1 or 2 (with the driver's or
passenger's door open, the power seats
can also be operated with the electronic
key removed or in steering lock
position 0).
