Seat belts must be snug against your
hips and chest to work properly.
When the seatback is reclined, the
shoulder belt cannot do its job
because it will not be snug against
your chest. Instead, it will be in front
of you. During an accident, you could
be thrown into the seat belt, causing
neck or other injuries.
The more the seatback is reclined,
the greater chance the passenger’s
hips will slide under the lap belt or
the passenger’s neck will strike the
shoulder belt.Seat cushion height
To c h a n g e t h e h e i g h t o f t h e s e a t
cushion:
1. Pull the front portion of the control
switch up to raise or push down to
lower the front part of the seat
cushion.
Pull the rear portion of the control
switch up to raise or push down to
lower the height of the seat cush-
ion.
2. Release the switch once the seat
reaches the desired position.
Lumbar support
•The lumbar support can be adjust-
ed by pressing the lumbar support
switch.
•Press the front portion of the
switch (1) to increase suppor t or
the rear portion of the switch (2) to
decrease support.
The lumbar support does not operate
up or down when the lumbar support
is in the rearmost position.
In this case, to use the system, slight-
ly increase support by pushing the
front portion of the switch (1).

Headrest
The vehicle’s front and rear seats
have adjustable headrests. The head-
rests provide comfort for passengers,
but more impor tantly they are
designed to help protect passengers
from whiplash and other neck and
spinal injuries during an accident,
especially in a rear impact collision.
To p r e v e n t d a m a g e , N E V E R h i t o r
pull on the headrests.

Adjust the headrests so the
middle of the headrest is at the
same height as the height of
the top of the eyes.
•NEVER adjust the headrest
position of the driver’s seat
when the vehicle is in motion.
•Adjust the headrest as close
to the passenger’s head as
possible. Do not use a seat
cushion that holds the body
away from the seatback.
•Make sure the headrest locks
into position after adjusting it.

Additional seat belt safety pre-
cautions
Seat belt use during pregnancy
Seat belts should always be used
during pregnancy. The best way to
protect your unborn child is to protect
yourself by always wearing a seat
belt.
Pregnant women should always wear
a lap-shoulder seat belt. Place the
shoulder belt across your chest and
away from your neck. Place the lap
belt below your belly so that it fits
SNUGLY across your hips and pelvic
bone, under the rounded part of the
belly.
Seat belt use and children
Infant and small children
Most countries have child restraint
laws which require children to travel
in approved child restraint devices,
including booster seats. The age at
which seat belts can be used instead
of child restraints differs between
countries, so you should be aware of
the specific requirements in your
country, and where you are travel-
ling. Infant and child restraints must
be properly placed and installed in a
rear seat. For more information refer
to the “Child Restraint Systems” in
this chapter.
To r e d u c e t h e r i s k o f s e r i o u s
injury or death to an unborn
child during an accident, preg-
nant women should NEVER
place the lap portion of the seat
belt above or over the area of
the abdomen where the unborn
child is located.
WA R N I N G
ALWAYS properly restrain infants
and small children in a child
restraint appropriate for the
child’s height and weight.
To r e d u c e t h e r i s k o f s e r i o u s
injury or death to a child and
other passengers, NEVER hold a
child in your lap or arms when
the vehicle is moving. The violent
forces created during an acci-
dent will tear the child from your
arms and throw the child against
the interior of the vehicle.

Small children are best protected
from injury in an accident when prop-
erly restrained in the rear seat by a
child restraint system that meets the
requirements of the Australian/New
Zealand standards. Before buying
any child restraint system, make sure
that it has a label certifying that it
meets the requirements of the
Australian/New Zealand standards.
The restraint must be appropriate for
your child's height and weight. Check
the label on the child restraint for this
information. Refer to “Child Restraint
Systems” in this chapter.
Larger children
Children under age 13 and who are
too large for a booster seat must
always occupy the rear seat and use
the available lap/shoulder belts.
A seat belt should lie across the
upper thighs and be snug across the
shoulder and chest to restrain the
child safely. Check belt fit periodical-
ly. A child's squirming could put the
belt out of position. Children are
afforded the most safety in the event
of an accident when they are
restrained by a proper restraint sys-
tem and/or seat belts in the rear
seat.
If a larger child over age 13 must be
seated in the front seat, the child
must be securely restrained by the
available lap/shoulder belt and the
seat should be placed in the rear-
most position.
If the shoulder belt portion slightly
touches the child’s neck or face, try
placing the child closer to the centre
of the vehicle. If the shoulder belt still
touches their face or neck, they need
to be returned to an appropriate
booster seat in the rear seat.
•Always make sure larger chil-
dren’s seat belts are worn and
properly adjusted.
•NEVER allow the shoulder
belt to contact the child’s
neck or face.
•Do not allow more than one
child to use a single seat belt.
