WARNING - Uprighting
seat
When you return the seatback
to its upright position, hold the
seatback and return it slowly
and be sure there are no other
occupants around the seat. If
the seatback is returned with-
out being held and controlled,
the back of the seat could
spring forward resulting in acci-
dental injury to a person struck
by the seatback.
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 front seat
passenger
Riding in a vehicle with a front
seatback reclined could lead to
serious or fatal injury in an acci-
dent. If a front seat is reclined
during an accident, the occu-
pant’s hips may slide under the
lap portion of the seat belt, apply-
ing great force to the unprotect-
ed abdomen. Serious or fatal
internal injuries could result. The
driver must advise the front pas-
senger to keep the seatback in
an upright position whenever the
vehicle is in motion.
WARNING
Do not use a sitting cushion that
reduces friction between the
seat and passenger. The passen-
ger's hips may slide under the
lap portion of the seat belt dur-
ing an accident or a sudden
stop. Serious or fatal internal
injuries could result because the
seat belt can't operate normally.
WARNING- Driver’s seat
• Never attempt to adjust seat
while the vehicle is moving.
This could result in loss of
control, and an accident caus-
ing death, serious injury, or
property damage.
• 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.

Forward and backward adjustment
(if equipped)
The headrest may be adjusted for-
ward to 4 different positions by
pulling the headrest forward to the
desired detent. To adjust the head-
rest to it’s furthest backwards posi-
tion, pull it fully forward to the farthest
position and release it. Adjust the
headrest so that it properly supports
the head and neck.
Adjusting the height up and down
To raise the headrest :
1. Pull it up to the desired position (1).
To lower the headrest :
1. Push and hold the release button
(2) on the headrest support.
2. Lower the headrest to the desired
position (3).
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 simi-
lar 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 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 the occupants
may occur in the event of an
accident. Headrests may pro-
vide protection against neck
injuries when properly adjust-
ed.
• Do not adjust the headrest
position of the driver's seat
while the vehicle is in motion.

If the driver's seat belt is not fastened
when the ignition switch is turned ON
or if it is unfastened after the ignition
switch is 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. (if equipped)Ty p e B
As a reminder to the driver, the dri-
ver’s seat belt warning lights will illu-
minate for approximately 6 seconds
each time you turn the ignition switch
ON regardless of belt fastening.
If the driver’s seat belt is not fastened
when the ignition switch is turned ON
or if it is disconnected after the igni-
tion switch is turned ON, the seat
belt warning light will illuminate until
the belt is fastened.
If you continue not to fasten the seat
belt and you drive over 9 km/h, the
illuminated warning light will start to
blink until you drive under 6 km/h.
If you continue not to fasten the seat
belt and you drive over 20 km/h (12
mph) the seat belt warning chime will
sound for approximately 100 sec-
onds and the corresponding warning
light will blink.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.
