the chance of injury from the early
stage of collision by reducing the seat
belt interval with putting the seat in
the upright position. The operation
conditions are as follows.
- It is considered as a risky situation
due to emergency braking.
- It is considered as a dangerous
situation due to the difficulties of
vehicle operation.
- It is considered as a hazardous
situation due to vehicle distance
detection sensor.

[Driving stability
Pre-active Safety Seat pulls up the
backset while sudden braking or
rapid turning to boost the tightness of
seat belt in order to prevent leaning
forward or laterally and increase
driving stability. The operation
conditions are as follows.
- There is a leaning forward of the
upper body due to sudden braking.
- There is a lateral leaning of the
upper body because of rapid
turning.
- Driving on the slippery frozen road
- Driving on the unpaved road

-Make sure that the seat is locked in
place after the adjustment. If not,
the seat might move unexpectedly
resulting in an accident.

the seat is occupied (for example,
passenger, pets or luggage). It
may injure the passenger or pet, or
damage the luggage.
-Never allow passengers to sit on
top of the folded down seatback
while the vehicle is moving. This is
not a proper seating position and
no seat belts are available for use.
This could result in serious injury
or death in case of an accident or
sudden stop.
-Objects carried on the folded
down seatback should not extend
higher than the top of the front

to slide forward and cause injury or
damage during sudden stops.

an accident or sudden stop, the
unlocked seatback could allow
cargo to move forward with great
force and enter the passenger
compartment, which could result
in serious injury or death.

[Loading cargo
-Make sure the vehicle is off, the
gear shifted to P (Park), and the
parking brake is securely applied
whenever loading or unloading
cargo. Failure to take these steps
may allow the vehicle to move
if the shift button or shift dial is
inadvertently pressed or rotated to
another position.
-When cargo is loaded through
the rear passenger seats, ensure
the cargo is properly secured
to prevent it from moving while
driving.

[Do not place objects in the rear
seats, since they cannot be properly
secured and may hit vehicle
occupants in a collision causing
serious injury or death.
CAUTION
Do not allow your hands or fingers to
get caught in the seat mechanisms
while adjusting the seats.
