Do not adjust the seat while driving
Never attempt to adjust the driver's seat

Do not incline the backrest too far to the
rear
Do not incline the backrest on the front passenger
side too far to the rear during driving. Otherwise,
there is the danger of sliding under the
safety belt in an accident. This would eliminate
