Caution

Observe the following precautions.

Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.

Do not adjust the position of the driver’s seat while driving.

Doing so could cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.

A cushion may prevent correct posture from being achieved, and reduce the effectiveness of the seat belt and head restraint.
