SEATS
While the vehicle is being driven, all vehicle occupants should
have the seatback upright, sit well back in the seat and properly
wear the seat belts provided.
CAUTION
Do not drive the vehicle unless the occupants are
properly seated. Do not allow any passengers to sit
in the luggage compartment or cargo area. Persons
not properly seated and/or not properly restrained by
seat belts can be severely injured in the event of
emergency braking or a collision.
During driving, do not allow any passengers to stand
up or move around between seats. Otherwise, severe
injuries can occur in the event of emergency braking
or a collision.
FRONT SEATS
Front seat precautions
Driver seat
CAUTION
The SRS driver airbag deploys with considerable force,
and can cause death or serious injury especially if the
driver is very close to the airbag. The National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSAº) advises:
Since the risk zone for driver airbag is the first 50 Ð 75
mm (2 Ð 3 in.) of inflation, placing yourself 250 mm (10
in.) from your driver airbag provides you with a clear
margin of safety. This distance is measured from the
center of the steering wheel to your breastbone. If you
sit less than 250 mm (10 in.) away now, you can change
your driving position in several ways:
Move your seat to the rear as far as you can while still
reaching the pedals comfortably.
Slightly recline the back of the seat. Although vehicle
designs vary, many drivers can achieve the 250 mm
(10 in.) distance, even with the driver seat all the way
forward, simply by reclining the back of the seat
somewhat. If reclining the back of your seat makes
it hard to see the road, raise yourself by using a firm,
non-slippery cushion, or raise the seat if your vehicle
has that feature.

Adjusting seatback angle
Move the control switch in the desired direction.
Releasing the switch will stop the seatback in that position.
CAUTION
To reduce the risk of sliding under the lap belt during a
collision, avoid reclining the seatback any more than
needed. The seat belts provide maximum protection in
a frontal or rear collision when the driver and the front
passenger are sitting up straight and well back in the
seats. If you are reclined, the lap belt may slide past
your hips and apply restraint forces directly to the
abdomen. In the event of a frontal collision, the more the
seat is reclined, the greater the risk of personal injury.
Adjusting seat cushion angle and height
(Driver's seat only)
Move the control switch in the desired direction.
Releasing the switch will stop the seat cushion in that position.

The amount of lumbar support will change while the switch is
pushed.
REAR SEATS
Rear seat precautions
CAUTION
Adjustment should not be made while the vehicle is
moving.
When folding the seat, secure the seat by adjusting
the length of the anchorage strap to prevent the seat
from falling down.
When returning the seat to its original position,
observe the following precautions in order to prevent
personal injury in a collision or sudden stop.
There is no person or luggage around the seat and
operate slowly by supporting the seat with your
hands.
The seat is securely locked by pushing forward and
rearward on the top of the seatback and by trying to
pull up the edge of the bottom cushion. Failure to do
so will prevent seat belt from operating properly.
The seat belts are not twisted or caught under the
seat and are arranged in their proper position and are
ready to use.
When using the seat, make sure the seat is securely
locked.
