Your vehicle has seat  
belts and other safety 
features that help protect you and your pas- sengers in an accident.Seat belts are the most important safety device. When worn properly, seat belts can reduce the chance of serious injury or deathin various types of crashes. For added protec- tion during a severe fr 
ontal collision, your 
vehicle has a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) with airbags for the driver and passen- gers. The seats, head restraints, and doorlocks also are safety equipment, which must be used correctly. Always check the following before you drive: That everyone in your vehicle is properly wearing their seat belt. That infants and small children are prop- erly secured in an appropriate child restraint system in the rear seat. That all doors are fully closed and locked.  That seatbacks are upright, with head restraints properly adjusted. 
Safety equipment cannot prevent injury or death in all motor ve 
hicle accidents. How- 
ever, you can help reduce the risk of injury or death, by following the instructions in thismanual.

After adjusting the seat, make sure that it is securely locked into position. To reduce the risk to the driver of serious injury or death duri 
ng deployment of the 
driver’s airbag, always 
 properly wear the 
seat belt and adjust th 
e driver’s seat as far 
back as possible while maintaining a posi- tion that still enables  
you to fully apply the 
pedals, easily control the steering wheel, and safely operate the vehicle. To reduce the risk to the front passenger of serious injury or 
 death during deploy- 
ment of the passeng 
er’s airbag, always 
properly wear the seat 
 belt and adjust the 
front passenger’s seat as far back as possi- ble. Always place childr
en 12 years old and 
under in the rear seat 
 and use appropriate 
child restraint systems.CAUTION Make sure that the seat is adjusted by an adult. If it is adjusted by a child, an unex- pected accident might occur. 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 seat
s, be careful not to 
catch your hand or leg.WA R N I N G

injury or death.

WA R N I N G Persons who are unable
 to feel tempera- 
ture change or skin  
pain due to age, ill- 
ness, injury, medication, alcohol use,fatigue or other phys 
ical conditions or 
who have sensitive skin may suffer burns when using the heated seat even at lowtemperatures. To reduce the risk of burns, people with such conditions must use care when using the heated seat.CAUTION Switch off the heated seats when not in use. Operate the heaters at the “HI” position for quick heating. After the seat has becomewarm, set the heater switch to the “LO” posi- tion to keep it warm. S 
light variations in the 
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. Do not place heavy obj
ects on the seat or 
stick pins, needles, or 
 other pointed objects 
into the seat. Do not place a blanket, cushion, or other insulating material on the seat while usingthe heater; doing so can  
cause the heater ele- 
ment to overheat.

e equipped in the illus- 
trated position. To maximize the effectiveness of the head restraints, adjust the seatback to the uprightposition, and the head restraint to the proper position. Sit back against the seatback with your head close to the head restraint.
Third row seat (Seating 7  passengers) 
WA R N I N G The third row seats are intended for use by no more than two belted occupants,each of which does not exceed 160 cm (63 inches) in height. Exceeding these limitations can result inan increased risk of

Head restraints * : Seating 7 passengers
WA R N I N GDriving without the head restraints in place can cause you and your passengersserious injury or deat 
h in an accident. To 
reduce the risk of injury in an accident, always make sure the head restraints are installed and properly positioned whenthe seat is occupied. In order to minimize
 the risk of a neck 
injury due to a rear impact, the seatback must be adjusted to the upright position and the head restraint must be adjusted tothe proper position before vehicle opera- tion. The driver shou 
ld never adjust the 
seat while the vehicle is in motion. Never place a cushion 
or similar device on 
the seatback. This can adversely affecthead restraint performance by increasing the distance between your head and the restraint.
