Important!
Bring seat backrest to upright position
before recalling a stored seat/head
restraint/steering wheel/exterior and

forced against a rear seat and be
damaged.
Prior to operating the vehicle, the
driver should adjust the seat height for
proper vision as well as fore/aft

adequate control, reach, operation, and
comfort. The head restraint should also
be adjusted for proper height.

mirrors should be adjusted for adequate

All seat, head restraint, and rear view
mirror adjustments as well as
fastening of seat belts should be done
before the vehicle is put into motion.
