**: The height of the driver's headrest
is automatically adjusted simulta-
neously with the driver's seat slid-
ing adjustment operation.
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.

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.

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

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.

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

Headrest
The rear seat(s) is equipped with
headrests in all the seating positions
for the occupant's safety and com-
for t.
The headrest not only provides com-
fort for passengers, but also helps
protect the head and neck in the
event of a collision.
OBH038076L * : if equipped*
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 of 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. The
use of a cushion that holds
the body away from the seat-
back is not recommended.
• Do not operate the vehicle
with the headrests removed
as severe injury to an occu-
pant may occur in the event of
an accident. Headrests may
provide protection against
severe neck injuries when
properly adjusted.
(Continued)
(Continued)
• When there is no occupant in
the rear seats, adjust the
height of the headrest to the
lowest position. The rear seat
headrest can reduce the visi-
bility of the rear area.
