WARNING
•Do not ride in a moving vehicle when the
seatback is reclined. This can be dangerous.
The shoulder belt will not be against your
body. In an accident, you could be thrown into
it and receive neck or other serious injuries.
You could also slide under the lap belt and
receive serious internal injuries.
•For the most effective protection when the
vehicle is in motion, the seat should be up-
right. Always sit well back in the seat with
both feet on the floor and adjust the seat prop-
erly. See “Precautions on seat belt usage”
later in this section.
•Do not adjust the driver’s seat while driving.
The seat may move suddenly and could cause
loss of control of the vehicle.
•After adjustment, gently rock in the seat to
make sure it is securely locked.
•The seatback should not be reclined any more
than needed for comfort. Seat belts are most
effective when the passenger sits well back
and upright in the seat. If the seatback is re-
clined, the risk of sliding under the lap belt
and being injured is increased.
•When returning the seatbacks to the upright
position, be certain that they are completely
secured in the latched position. If they are not
completely secured, passengers may be in-
jured in an accident or sudden stop. When
operating the seatback release always rock
the seatback afterward to check that it is
locked.
•When the vehicle is being used to carry cargo,
properly secure all cargo to help prevent it
from sliding or shifting. Do not place cargo
higher than the seatbacks. In a sudden stop
or collision, unsecured cargo could cause per-
sonal injury.
•Never allow anyone to ride in the luggage area
or on the rear seat when it is in the folded-
down position. Use of these areas by passen-
gers without proper restraints could result in
serious injury in an accident or sudden stop.
CAUTION
When adjusting the seat positions, be sure not to
contact any moving parts to avoid possible inju-
ries and/or damage.

•If any malfunctions are found or the seat does
not operate, turn the switch off and have the

Heated seats
The seats can be warmed by built-in heaters. The
switches are located on the centre console (for front
seats) and can be operated independently of each
other.
1. Start the engine.
2. Select heat range.
•For high heat, push the “HI” (High) side of the
switchj1.
•For low heat, push the “LO” (Low) side of the
switchj2.
•The indicator lightj3 will illuminate when low
or high is selected.
3. To turn off the heater push the “HI” or “LO” side
to return the switch to the level position.
Make sure the indicator light turns off.
The heater is controlled by a thermostat, auto-
matically turning the heater on and off. The indi-
cator light will remain on as long as the switch is
on.
When the vehicle’s interior is warmed, or before
you leave the vehicle, be sure to turn off the
switch.
