Loose objects
Loose objects in the driver’s foot
area could interfere with the oper
ation of the foot pedals, possibly
causing an accident. Do not place
anything under the front seats.
WARNING
Uprighting seat
When you return the seatback to
its upright position, hold the seat
back and return it slowly and be
sure there are no other occupants
around the seat. If the seatback is
returned without being held and
controlled, the back of the seat
could move forward or backward
resulting in accidental injury to a
person struck by the seatback.
WARNING
Driver responsibility for passengers
Riding in a vehicle with seatback
reclined could lead to serious or
fatal injury in an accident. If a seat
is reclined during an accident, the
occupant’s hips may slide under the
lap portion of the seat belt applying
great force to the unprotected
abdomen. The protection of your
restraint system (seat belt and air
bags) is greatly reduced by reclin
ing your seat. Serious or fatal inter
nal injuries could result. The driver
must advise the passenger to keep
the seatback in an upright position
whenever the vehicle is in motion.
WARNING
Do not use a sitting cushion that
reduces friction between the seat
and passenger. The passenger's
hips may slide under the lap por
tion of the seat belt during an acci
dent or a sudden stop. Serious or
fatal internal injuries could result
because the seat belt can't oper
ate normally.
WARNING

Driver’s seat
•Never attempt to adjust seat
while the vehicle is moving. This
could result in loss of control, and
an accident causing death, seri
ous injury, or property damage.
•Do not allow anything to interfere
with the normal position of the
seatback. Storing items against a
seatback or in any other way
interfering with proper locking of
a seatback could result in serious
or fatal injury in a sudden stop or
collision.
•Always drive and ride with your
seatback upright and the lap por
tion of the seat belt snug and low
across the hips. This is the best
position to protect you in case of
an accident.
(Continued)
WARNING (Continued)
•In order to avoid unnecessary
and perhaps severe air bag
injuries, always sit as far back as
possible from the steering wheel
while maintaining comfortable
control of the vehicle.
Rear seatbacks
•The rear seatback must be
securely latched. If not, passen
gers and objects could be thrown
forward resulting in serious injury
or death in the event of a sudden
stop or collision.
•Luggage and other cargo should
be laid flat in the cargo area. If
objects are large, heavy, or must
be piled, they must be secured.
Under no circumstances should
cargo be piled higher than the
seatbacks. Failure to follow these
warnings could result in serious
injury or death in the event of a
sudden stop, collision or rollover.
•No passenger should ride in the
cargo area or sit or lie on folded
seatbacks while the vehicle is
moving. All passengers must be
properly seated in seats and
restrained properly while riding.
(Continued)
WARNING

Safety system of your vehicle
(Continued)
•When resetting the seatback to
the upright position, make sure it is
securely latched by pushing it for
ward and backwards.
•To avoid the possibility of burns,
do not remove the carpet in the
cargo area. Emission control
devices beneath this floor gener
ate high temperatures.
After adjusting the seat, always
check that it is securely locked into
place by attempting to move the
seat forward or backward without
using the lock release lever.
Sudden or unexpected movement
of the driver's seat could cause
you to lose control of the vehicle
resulting in an accident.
WARNING
•Do not adjust the seat while wear
ing seat belts. Moving the seat
cushion forward may cause
strong pressure on the abdomen.
•Use extreme caution so that
hands or other objects are not
caught in the seat mechanisms
while the seat is moving.
•Do not put a cigarette lighter on
the floor or seat. When you oper
ate the seat, gas may gush out of
the lighter and cause fire.
•If there are occupants in the rear
seats, be careful while adjusting
the front seat position.

•Always stop adjusting the seats
when the seat has been adjusted
as far forward or rearward as pos
sible.
•Do not adjust the seats longer than

switch up to raise or down to lower

Headrest
The driver's and front passenger's
seats are equipped with a headrest
for the occupant's safety and com
fort.
The headrest not only provides com
fort for the driver and front passen
ger, but also helps to protect the
head and neck in the event of a collision.
OGS035008
ODH033105L
To reduce the risk of serious injury
or death in an accident, take the
following precautions when
adjusting your headrests:
•Always properly adjust the head
rests for all passengers BEFORE
starting the vehicle.
•NEVER let anyone ride in a seat
with the headrests removed.
•
Adjust the headrests so the middle
of the headrests is at the same
height as the height of the top of
the eyes.
