FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why is the volume of air to the rear
passenger compartment limited ? Objects may obstruct the air direction
to the rear passenger compartment.
Make sure objects have not been
placed under the front seats.

vents reduced? The air intake area at the base of the
windshield could be obstructed. Make
sure the air intake area is free from any
snow, ice or leaves.

for heating the interior? Auto mode on and instrument panel
and side air vents fully open.
How can I quickly heat the interior? Select the highest blower motor

a small amount of air from the
footwell air vents regardless of the air
distribution.
What happens if I switch auto mode on
when the outside temperature and
in-vehicle temperature is high? The system temporarily selects
recirculated air to maximize cooling.
What happens if I switch auto mode on
when the outside temperature is low
and the engine is cold? Air is directed to the windshield and
the outer instrument panel air vents.

FRONT SEAT PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: Sitting improperly, out
of position or with the seatback reclined
too far can take weight off the seat
cushion and affect the decision of the
passenger sensing system, resulting in
serious injury or death in the event of a
crash. Always sit upright against your
seat back, with your feet on the floor. WARNING: Do not recline the seat
backrest too far as this can cause the
occupant to slide under the seatbelt,
resulting in personal injury in the event
of a crash. WARNING:
Do not place objects
higher than the top of the seat backrest.
Failure to follow this instruction could
result in personal injury or death in the
event of a sudden stop or crash. WARNING: Do not adjust the driver
seat or seat backrest when your vehicle
is moving. This may result in sudden seat
movement, causing the loss of control
of your vehicle. SITTING IN THE CORRECT
POSITION When you use them properly, the seat,
head restraint, seatbelt and airbags will
provide optimum protection in the event
of a crash.
We recommend that you follow these
guidelines:
•
Sit in an upright position with the base
of your spine as far back as possible.
• Do not recline the seat backrest so that
your torso is more than 30 degrees
from the upright position.
• Adjust the head restraint so that the
top of it is level with the top of your
head and as far forward as possible.
Make sure that you remain
comfortable.
• Keep sufficient distance between
yourself and the steering wheel. We
recommend a minimum of
10 in
(25 cm) between your breastbone and
the airbag cover.
• Hold the steering wheel with your arms
slightly bent.

•
Bend your legs slightly so that you can
press the pedals fully.
• Position the shoulder strap of the
seatbelt over the center of your
shoulder and position the lap strap
tightly across your hips.
Make sure that your driving position is
comfortable and that you can maintain full
control of your vehicle.
