CAUTION
nTo prevent an accident
Observe the following precautions while driving the vehicle.
Failure to do so may result in a door opening and an occupant falling out, resulting
in death or serious injury.
lAlways use a seat belt.
lAlways lock all the doors.
lEnsure that all the doors are properly closed.
lDo not pull the inside handle of the doors while driving.
The doors may be opened and the passengers are thrown out of the vehicle and it
may result in serious injury or death.
Be especially careful for the front doors, as the doors may be opened even if the
inside lock buttons are in locked position.
lSet the rear door child-protector locks when children are seated in the rear seats.
nWhen opening or closing a door
Check the surroundings of the vehicle such as whether the vehicle is on an incline,
whether there is enough space for a door to open and whether a strong wind is
blowing. When opening or closing the door, hold the door handle tightly to prepare
for any unpredictable movement.

Before driving
Power easy access system (vehicles with driving position memory)
When the driver enters and exits the vehicle, the driver's seat and steer-
ing wheel will automatically perform the following operations:
Exiting the vehicle: When all of the
following actions have been per-
formed, the steering wheel will
move up and back to the point far-
thest away from the driver and the
seat will move backward (auto
away function):

1-3. Adjustable components (seats, mirrors, steering wheel)
Active head restraints
When the occupant’s lower back
presses against the seatback dur-
ing a rear-end collision, the head
restraint moves slightly forward
and upward to help reduce the risk
of whiplash on the seat occupant.
nThe auto away function for exiting the driver seat
If the seat is already close to the rearmost position, the auto away function may not
operate when the driver exits the vehicle.
nActive head restraints
Even small forces applied to the seatback may cause the head restraint to move.
Pushing up a locked head restraint forcibly may appear the head restraint inner
structure. These do not indicate problems.
nCustomization
The distance that the driver’s seat moves backward during the auto away function
can be changed. (Customizable features →P. 6 2 1 )

CAUTION
nSeat adjustment
lTo reduce the risk of sliding under the lap belt during a collision, do not recline the
seat more than necessary.
If the seat is too reclined, the lap belt may slide past the hips and apply restraint
forces directly to the abdomen, or your neck may contact the shoulder belt,
increasing the risk of death or serious injury in the event of an accident.
lAdjustments should not be made while driving as the seat may unexpectedly
move and cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
nWhile driving
Do not allow passengers to ride on the flattened seat.
