Safety

WARNING: Adjust the driver’s seat when the vehicle is stationary. You may not be able to observe road and traffic conditions and you could lose control of the vehicle as a result of the seat moving. You could therefore cause an accident.
WARNING: The seats can be moved even without a key fob in the vehicle. Do not leave children unattended in the vehicle, they could be injured if a seat is moved accidentally.
WARNING: Ensure that no one can become trapped as the seat moves. To reduce the risk of injuries in the event of an accident, observe the following:

• All vehicle occupants must select a seat position that allows the seat belt to be worn correctly but is as far away from the front airbags as possible. The position of the driver’s seat must allow the driver to drive the vehicle safely. The distance from the driver’s seat to the pedals must be such that the driver can fully depress the pedals. The distance between the driver’s chest and the center of the airbag cover must be more than 25 cm (10 in). The driver’s arms should be slightly bent when holding the steering wheel.
  Vehicle occupants must always wear their seat belt correctly.
  Position the passenger’s seat as far back as is comfortable.

• Children under 1.5 m (4 ft 11 in) tall or younger than 12 years of age must be secured in a suitable child restraint. Please refer to current national and local laws for specific requirements.
  If you are using a child restraint on the passenger’s seat, move the seat as far back as possible.
