2 Seat adjustment
E00400300402
Adjust the driver’s seat so that you are comfortable and that
you can reach the pedals, steering wheel, switches etc. while
retaining a clear field of vision.
WARNING
!●Do not attempt to adjust the seat while driving. This
can cause loss of vehicle control and result in an
accident. After adjustments are made, ensure the
seating is locked in position by attempting to move
the seat forward and rearward without using the
adjusting mechanism.●It is extremely dangerous to ride in the luggage area
of a vehicle. Also, the luggage area and rear seats
should never be used as a play area by children. In a
collision, people or children riding unrestrained in
these areas are more likely to be seriously injured or
killed.
Do not allow people or children to ride in any area of
your vehicle that is not equipped with seats and seat
belts, and make sure that everyone travelling in
your vehicle is in a seat and wearing a seat belt, or in
the case of a child is strapped in a child restraint.
●To minimize the risk of personal injury in the event
of a collision or sudden braking, the seatbacks
should always be in the almost upright position
while the vehicle is in motion. The protection pro-
vided by the seat belts may be reduced significantly
when the seatback is reclined. There is greater risk
that the passenger will slide under the seat belt,
resulting in serious injury, when the seatback is
reclined.
CAUTION
!●Make sure the seat is adjusted by an adult or with
adult supervision for correct and safe operation.●Do not place a cushion or the like between your back
and the seatback while driving. The effectiveness of
the head restraints will be reduced in the event of an
accident.●When sliding the seats, be careful not to catch your
hand or foot.●When sliding or reclining the seat rearward, pay
careful attention to the rear seat passengers.

Heated seats*
E00401100205
The heated seats can be operated with the ignition switch in the
“ON” position.
The indication lamp (A) will illuminate while the heater is on.
NOTE●Do not place heavy objects on the seat or stick pins, nee-
dles, or other pointed objects into it.
●When cleaning the seat, do not use benzene, gasoline,
alcohol, or other organic solvents; this might damage the
surface of the seat and also the heater element.
●If water or any other liquid is spilled on the seat, allow it
to dry thoroughly before attempting to use the heater.
1- Heater high (for quick heating).
2- Heater off.
3- Heater low (to keep the seat warm).
CAUTION
!●Operate in the high position for quick heating. Once
the seat is warm, set the heater to low to keep it
warm. Slight variations in seat temperature may be
felt while using the heated seats. This is caused by
the operation of the heater’s internal thermostat and
does not indicate a malfunction.
●If the following types of persons use the heated seats,
they might become too hot or receive minor burns
(red skin, heat blisters, etc.):
• Children, elderly or ill people
• People with sensitive skin
• Excessively tired people
• People under the influence of alcohol or sleep
inducing medication (cold medicine, etc.)
●Do not use a blanket, cushion, or other material with
high heat insulation properties on the seat while
using the heater; this might cause the heater element
to overheat.●Turn the heater off immediately if it appears to be
malfunctioning during use.
