Attention! When returning the seats to their original position, be sure to return the seat belts to the correct position. so that the seat belts do not remain under the seat or behind the seat when the seats are returned to their original position, the seat belt webbing must be located in special holders.
Attention! Never allow passengers to sit in the third row seats when the second row seats are fully folded down. In the event of a traffic accident (accidents) or sudden braking, passengers may be seriously injured.
Attention! Do not allow passengers to fold and unfold the seats while the vehicle is in motion.
Attention! The purpose of folding the seats is to increase the space for carrying luggage in the passenger compartment. Never allow passengers to sit on luggage while the vehicle is in motion, as this will prevent them from properly fastening their seat belts, which could result in injury in the event of an accident (accidents) or hard braking.
Adjustable headrests

Pic. 1.161. Seat belt height adjustment
To raise the head restraint, pull it up (pic. 1.161). To lower the head restraint, press it down while pressing the lock. To remove the head restraint, pull it out as far as it will go while pressing the lock. This procedure is performed with an unoccupied seat.
To reduce the risk of injury in the event of a collision, adjust the height of the head restraints so that their center is at eye level. If there is a cushion or the like between the back and the seat back, the distance between the head and the head restraint increases and the effectiveness of the head restraints in the event of an accident will be reduced.
Rear Seat Precautions
For the safety of all passengers, do not place luggage or other cargo above the back of the rear seat.
Seat Belt Precautions
The driver and all adult passengers, as well as children large enough to be properly seated, must always wear seat belts. Basic safety precautions can minimize the risk of serious injury in the event of an accident (accidents).
Seat belt care
Do not remove or modify the seat belt system. The seat belts and related parts must not be damaged by seat hinges, doors or improper use.
Periodic Seat Belt Inspection
It is recommended to periodically check all seat belts for cuts, wear and fraying of the belt tape, as well as cracks and deformation of their metal parts. Replace defective belts as soon as possible.
Keep seat belts clean and dry. If the seat belts are dirty, they should be cleaned with a neutral detergent diluted in warm water. Do not attempt to bleach, repaint, or use strong detergents or abrasives to clean the belts, as this will damage the belts and weaken the webbing material.
After any accident, all seat belts, as well as inertia reels and belt fasteners, must be replaced. This must be done even if no visible damage to the seat belts is found.
