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.

Front seat adjustment
The front seat can be adjusted by
using the control switch located on
the doors. Before driving, adjust the
seat to the proper position so as to
easily control the steering wheel,
pedals and switches on the instru-
ment panel.WARNING
• Do not adjust the seat while
wearing 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
operate the seat, gas may gush
out of the lighter and cause
fire.
• Use extreme caution when
picking small objects trapped
under the seats or between the
seat and the center console.
Your hands might be cut or
injured by the sharp edges of
the seat mechanism.
• If there are occupants in the
rear seats, be careful while
adjusting the front seat posi-
tion.
(Continued)
• Do not allow anything to inter-
fere 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 col-
lision.
• Always drive and ride with
your seatback upright and the
lap portion of the seat belt
snug and low across the hips.
This is the best position to
protect you in case of an acci-
dent.
• In order to avoid unnecessary
and perhaps severe air bag
injuries, always sit as far back
as possible from the steering
wheel while maintaining com-
fortable control of the vehicle.
We recommend that your
chest be at least 250 mm (10
inches) away from the steer-
ing wheel.
WARNING
The power seat is operable with
the engine start/stop button in
OFF.
Therefore, children should never
be left unattended in the vehicle.

unnecessary battery drain,

the engine is not running.
• Do not operate two or more
power seat control knobs at the
same time. Doing so may result
in power seat motor or electri-
cal component malfunction.

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.

recliner control switch (1).
2. Raise it as far as it can go by

OVI039010OVI033101N

tact with the sunvisor or other
parts of the vehicle.
