WARNING AND INDICATOR LIGHTS

1-4Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system
FRONT SEATS
Front power seat adjustment
Operating tips:
.The power seat motor has an auto-
reset overload protection circuit. If the
motor stops during operation, wait 30
seconds, then reactivate the switch.
. Do not operate the power seat switch
for a long period of time when the
engine is off. This will discharge the
battery.
See “Automatic drive positioner” (P.3-40)
for the seat position memory function.
CAUTION
When adjusting the seat positions,
be sure not to contact any moving
parts to avoid possible injuries and/
or damages.
SSS1051
Forward and backward:
Moving the switch
forward or back-
ward will slide the seat forward or back-
ward to the desired position.
Reclining:
Move the recline switch
backward until
the desired angle is obtained. To bring the
seatback forward again, move the switch
forward.
The reclining feature allows adjustment
of the seatback for occupants of different
sizes for added comfort and to help
obtain proper seat belt fit. (See “Precau-
tions on seat belt usage” (P.1-20).) Also,
the seatback can be reclined to allow occupants to rest when the vehicle is
stopped and the transmission is in the P
(Park) position.

1-10Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system
This can be dangerous. The
shoulder belt will not be against
your body. In an accident, you
could be thrown into it and re-
ceive neck or other serious inju-
ries. You could also slide under
the lap belt and receive serious
internal injuries.
. For the most effective protection
when the vehicle is in motion, the
seat should be upright. Always sit
well back and upright in the seat
with both feet on the floor and
adjust the seat belt properly. See
“Precautions on seat belt usage”
(P.1-20).
SSS1118
Folding:
Push and hold the front side of the switch
located on the passenger side of the
cargo room. The corresponding seatback
(R: right side, L: left side) will be folded
down automatically.
Push and hold the rear side of the switch
. The seatback will be returned auto-
matically. The seatback will rise up while
holding the switch.
NOTE:
Operating the power folding seats can
discharge the vehicle battery if the
engine is not running.
CAUTION
When operating the rear power seat-
back return, make sure that the
vehicle is stopped and the transmis-
sion is in the P (Park) position.
WARNING
. Never allow anyone to ride in the
cargo area or on the rear seat
when it is in the fold-down posi-
tion. Use of these areas by pas-
sengers without proper restraints
could result in serious injury in an
accident or sudden stop.
. When returning the seatbacks to
the upright position, be certain
they are completely secured in
the latched position. If they are
not completely secured, passen-
