How to Adjust Front Seats

WARNING:

-Avoid adjusting the driver's seat or seatback while the vehicle is in motion.

-Always sit and drive with your seatback in an upright position, ensuring the lap belt fits securely and rests low across your hips.

-Avoid stacking cargo above the height of the seatbacks to minimize the risk of injuries during a sudden stop or collision.

-Sitting in an incorrect position or reclining the seatback excessively can reduce the weight on the seat cushion, interfering with the front passenger sensing system and increasing the risk of serious injury or death in a crash.

-To minimize the risk of serious injury, avoid hanging items from the seatback or storing them in the seatback map pocket (if available) when a child occupies the front passenger seat. Refrain from placing objects under the front passenger seat or between the seat and the center console.
