Make all adjustments to the seat while the vehicle is stopped. After adjusting the seat and before driving off, always check to ensure that the seat is rmly latched in position. Failure to comply may result in death, personal injury or property damage.

Before driving ensure that there is adequate head clearance at maximum upward travel of seat. Injury may occur if head clearance is not adequate. Failure to comply may result in death or personal injury.
