Electronic active headrest
The electronic active headrest is
designed to trigger the headrest for-
ward and upward when impact sen-
sor detects a rear impact. This helps
to prevent the driver's and front pas-
senger’s heads from moving back-
ward and thus helps minimize neck
injuries.
Seat warmer (if equipped)
The seat warmer is provided to warm
the front seats during cold weather.
While the engine is running, push
either of the switches to warm the
driver's seat or the front passenger's
seat.
During mild weather or under condi-
tions where the operation of the seat
warmer is not needed, keep the
switches in the OFF position.
• Each time you push the switch, the
temperature setting of the seat
changes as follows :• When pressing the switch for more
than 1.5 seconds with the seat
warmer operating, the seat warmer
will turn OFF.
• The seat warmer defaults to the
OFF position whenever the engine
start/stop button is turned to the
ON position.
✽NOTICE
With the seat warmer switch in the
ON position, the heating system in
the seat turns off or on automatically
depending on the seat temperature.OBH038069
CAUTION
The active headrest is a safety
device to reduce injuries from a
rear impact. Do not hit or pull
the headrest intentionally.

Climate control system seat
(if equipped)
This feature cools or warms the front
seats by blowing air through small
vent hole on the surface of the seats
and seatbacks.
While the engine is running, push the
rear portion of the switch to cool or
warm the driver's seat or the front
passenger's seat (if equipped).
When the operation of the climate
control system seat is not needed,
keep the switches in the OFF posi-
tion.
CAUTION
• When cleaning the seats, do
not use an organic solvent
such as thinner, benzene,
alcohol and gasoline. Doing
so may damage the surface of
the heater or seats.
• To prevent overheating the
seat warmer, do not place any-
thing on the seats that insu-
lates against heat, such as
blankets, cushions or seat
covers while the seat warmer
is in operation.
• Do not place heavy or sharp
objects on seats equipped
with seat warmers. Damage to
the seat warming components
could occur.
• Do not change the seat cover.
It may damage the seat
warmer or climate control sys-
tem seat.
WARNING- Seat warmer
burns
Passengers should use extreme
caution when using seat warm-
ers due to the possibility of
excess heating or burns. The
occupants must be able to feel
if the seat is becoming too
warm and to turn the seat
warmer off. The seat warmer
may cause burns even at low
temperatures, especially if used
for long periods of time.
In particular, the driver must
exercise extreme care for the
following types of passengers:
1. Infants, children, elderly or
disabled persons, or hospital
outpatients
2. Persons with sensitive skin
or those that burn easily
3. Fatigued individuals
4. Intoxicated individuals
5. Individuals taking medication
that can cause drowsiness or

Seat belt warning
Seat belt warning light
As a reminder to the driver, the seat
belt warning light will blink for
approximately 6 seconds each time
you turn the engine start/stop button
ON regardless of belt fastening.
If the driver’s seat belt is unfastened
after the engine start/stop button is
ON, the seat belt warning light blinks
again for approximately 6 seconds.Seat belt warning chime
If the driver's seat belt is not fastened
when the engine start/stop button is
turned ON, the seat belt warning
chime will sound for approximately 6
seconds. At this time, if the seat belt
is fastened, the chime will stop at
once.
Lap/shoulder belt
To fasten your seat belt:
To fasten your seat belt, pull it out of
the retractor and insert the metal tab
(1) into the buckle (2). There will be
an audible "click" when the tab locks
into the buckle.
The seat belt automatically adjusts to
the proper length only after the lap
belt portion is adjusted manually so
that it fits snugly around your hips. If
you lean forward in a slow, easy
motion, the belt will extend and let
you move around. If there is a sud-
den stop or impact, however, the belt
will lock into position. It will also lock
if you try to lean forward too quickly.

Pre-Safe Seat belt (PSB)
(if equipped)
The purpose of the pre-safe seat belt
is to prevent passengers from getting
hurt by tightening the seat belt right
before a collision or dangerous
maneuver.The pre-safe seat belt warning will
turn on if there is a problem with your
pre-safe seat belt.
Have the system checked if:
• The light does not turn on briefly
when you press the engine
start/stop button to the ON posi-
tion.
• The light stays on after illumination
for approximately 3 seconds.
• The light comes on while the vehi-
cle is in motion.In order to maximize the safety of the
passenger, the pre-safe seat belt
system operates as below
• The seat belt is tightened when:
- The vehicle senses a collision
- Emergency braking situation
occurs
- Losing control of the vehicle
- The passenger leans to one side
• The seat belt vibrates when:
- The vehicle senses a object too
near the vehicle
- The Lane Departure Warning
System (if equipped) detects the
vehicle has moved out of its lane
Other functions are tightening a loose
seat belt after vehicle speed is over
40 km/h (25 mph) and winding a
loose seat belt after unfastening the
seat belt.

How does the air bag system
operate
• Air bags are activated (able to
inflate if necessary) only when the
engine start/stop button is turned
to the ON or START position.
• Air bags inflate instantly in the
event of a serious frontal collision
or side collision in order to help
protect the occupants from serious
physical injury.
• There is no single speed at which
the air bags will inflate.
Generally, air bags are designed to
inflate based upon the severity of a
collision and its direction. These
two factors determine whether the
sensors produce an electronic
deployment/ inflation signal.
• Air bag deployment depends on a
number of factors including vehicle
speed, angles of impact and the
density and stiffness of the vehi-
cles or objects which your vehicle
hits in the collision. The determin-
ing factors are not limited to those
mentioned above.• The front air bags will completely
inflate and deflate in an instant.
It is virtually impossible for you to
see the air bags inflate during an
accident.
It is much more likely that you will
simply see the deflated air bags
hanging out of their storage com-
partments after the collision.
• In order to help provide protection
in a severe collision, the air bags
must inflate rapidly. The speed of
air bag inflation is a consequence
of the extremely short time in which
a collision occurs and the need to
inflate the air bag between the
occupant and the vehicle structures
before the occupant impacts those
structures. This speed of inflation
reduces the risk of serious or life-
threatening injuries in a severe col-
lision and is thus a necessary part
of air bag design.
However, air bag inflation can also
cause injuries which can include
facial abrasions, bruises and bro-
ken bones because the inflation
speed also causes the air bags to
expand with a great deal of force.• There are even circumstances
under which contact with the
steering wheel air bag can cause
fatal injuries, especially if the
occupant is positioned exces-
sively close to the steering wheel.
WARNING
• To avoid severe personal
injury or death caused by
deploying air bags in a colli-
sion, the driver should sit as
far back from the steering
wheel air bag as possible (at
least 250 mm (10 inches)
away). The front passengers
should always move their
seats as far back as possible
and sit back in their seat.
• Air bags inflate instantly in the
event of collision, and passen-
gers may be injured by the air
bag expansion force if they are
not in a proper position.
• Air bag inflation may cause
injuries including facial or
bodily abrasions, injuries
from broken glasses or burns.
