WARNING- Loose
objects
Loose objects in the driver’s
foot area could interfere with
the operation of the foot pedals,
possibly causing an accident.
Do not place anything under the
front seats.
WARNING- Driver
responsibility for passen-
gers
Riding in a vehicle with the
seatback reclined could lead to
serious or fatal injury in an acci-
dent. 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. Serious or fatal inter-
nal injuries could result. The
driver must advise the passen-
ger to keep the seatback in an
upright position whenever the
vehicle is in motion.
WARNING
Do not use a seat cushion that
reduces friction between the
seat and passenger. The pas-
senger's hips may slide under
the lap portion of the seat belt
during an accident or a sudden
stop. Serious or fatal internal
injuries could result because
the seat belt can't operate nor-
mally.
WARNING- Driver’s seat
• Never attempt to adjust the
seat while the vehicle is mov-
ing. This could result in loss
of control, and an accident
causing death, serious injury,
or property damage.

Safety features of your vehicle
Headrest
The driver's and front passenger's
seats are equipped with a headrest
for the occupant's safety and com-
for t.
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 colli-
sion.Forward and backward adjustment
The headrest may be adjusted for-
ward or backward by pulling the
lower part of the headrest forward or
backward to the desired detent in the
direction of the arrow. Adjust the
headrest so that it properly supports
the head and neck.
OBH038075L
WARNING
• For maximum effectiveness in
case of an accident, the head-
rest should be adjusted so the
middle of the headrest is at
the same height as the center
of gravity of an occupant's
head. Generally, the center of
gravity of most people's head
is similar with the height of
the top of their eyes. Also,
adjust the headrest as close
to your head as possible. For
this reason, the use of a cush-
ion that holds the body away
from the seatback is not rec-
ommended.
• Do not operate the vehicle
with the headrests removed
as severe injury to the occu-
pants may occur in the event
of an accident. Headrests may
provide protection against
neck injuries when properly
adjusted.
• Do not adjust the headrest
position of the driver's seat
while the vehicle is in motion.

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.

Safety features of your vehicle
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
