You will find many safety precautions
and recommendations throughout
this section, and throughout this
manual. The safety precautions in
this section are among the most
important.
Always wear your seat belt
A seat belt is your best protection in
all types of accidents. Air bags are
designed to supplement seat belts,
not replace them. So even though
your vehicle is equipped with air
bags, ALWAYS make sure you and
your passengers wear the seat belts,
and wear them properly.
Restrain all children
All children under age 13 should ride
in your vehicle properly restrained in
a rear seat, not the front seat. Infants
and small children should be
restrained in an appropriate Child
Restraint System. Larger children
should use a booster seat with the
lap/shoulder belt until they can use
the seat belt properly without a
booster seat.
Air bag hazards
Whilst air bags can save lives, they
can also cause serious or fatal
injuries to occupants who sit too
close to them, or who are not proper-
ly restrained. Infants, young children,
and short adults are at the greatest
risk of being injured by an inflating air
bag. Follow all instructions and warn-
ings in this manual.
Driver distraction
Driver distraction presents a serious
and potentially deadly danger, espe-
cially for inexperienced drivers.
Safety should be the first concern
when behind the wheel and drivers
need to be aware of the wide array of
potential distractions, such as
drowsiness, reaching for objects,
eating, personal grooming, other
passengers, and using mobile
phones.
Drivers can become distracted when
they take their eyes and attention off
the road or their hands off the wheel
to focus on activities other than driv-
ing. To reduce your risk of distraction
and an accident:
• ALWAYS set up your mobile
devices (i.e., MP3 players, phones,
navigation units, etc.) when your
vehicle is parked or safely stopped.
ONLY use your mobile device
when laws and conditions permit
safe use. NEVER text or email
whilst driving. Most countries have
laws prohibiting drivers from tex-
ting. Some countries and cities
also prohibit drivers from using
handheld phones.

Safety precautions
Adjusting the seats so that you are
sitting in a safe, comfortable position
plays an important role in driver and
passenger safety, together with seat
belts and air bags, if an accident
occurs.
Air bags
You can take steps to reduce the risk
of being injured by an inflating air
bag. Sitting too close to an air bag
greatly increases the risk of injury in
the event the air bag inflates. Move
your seat as far back as possible
from front air bags, whilst still main-
taining control of the vehicle.
Seat belts
Always fasten your seat belt before
starting any trip.
At all times, passengers should sit
upright and be properly restrained.
Infants and small children must be
restrained in appropriate Child
Restraint Systems. Children who
have outgrown a booster seat and
adults must be restrained using the
seat belts.
Do not use a cushion that
reduces friction between the
seat and the passenger. The
passenger'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 cannot
operate properly.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death from an inflating
air bag, take the following pre-
cautions:
•Adjust the driver’s seat as far
to the rear as possible whilst
maintaining the ability to
maintain full control of the
vehicle.
Adjust the front passenger
seat as far to the rear as pos-
sible.
Hold the steering wheel by the
rim with hands at the 9 o’clock
and 3 o’clock positions to
minimise the risk of injuries to
your hands and arms.
NEVER place anything or any-
one between the air bag.
Do not allow the front passen-
ger to place feet or legs on the
instrument panel to minimise
the risk of leg injuries.
WARNING

2-6
Safety system of your vehicle
Front seats
The front seat can be adjusted by
using the control switches located on
the outside of the seat cushion.
Before driving, adjust the seat to the
proper position so that you can easi-
ly control the steering wheel, foot
pedals and controls on the instru-
ment panel. Take the following precautions
when adjusting your seat belt:
NEVER use one seat belt for
more than one occupant.
Always position the seatback
upright with the lap portion of
the seat belt snug and low
across the hips.
NEVER allow children or
small infants to ride in a pas-
senger’s lap.
Do not route the seat belt
across your neck, across
sharp edges, or reroute the
shoulder strap away from
your body.
Do not allow the seat belt to
become caught or jammed.WARNING
Take the following precautions
when adjusting your seat:
NEVER attempt to adjust the
seat whilst the vehicle is mov-
ing. The seat could respond
with unexpected movement
and may cause loss of vehicle
control resulting in an acci-
dent.
Do not place anything under
the front seats. Loose objects
in the driver’s foot area could
interfere with the operation of
the foot pedals, causing an
accident.
WARNING
Do not allow anything to inter-
fere with the normal position
and proper locking of the
seatback.
Do not place a cigarette
lighter on the floor or seat.
When you operate the seat,
gas may exit out of the lighter
causing a fire.
Use extreme caution when
picking up small objects
trapped under the seats or
between the seat and the cen-
tre 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 whilst
adjusting the front seat posi-
tion.

Power adjustment
The front seat can be adjusted by
using the control switches located on
the outside of the seat cushion.
Before driving, adjust the seat to the
proper position so that you can easi-
ly control the steering wheel, foot
pedals and controls on the instru-
ment panel.To prevent damage to the seats:
Always stop adjusting the seats
when the seat has been adjust-
ed as far forward or rearward as
possible.
Do not adjust the seats longer
than necessary when the engine
is turned off. This may result in
unnecessary battery drain.
Do not operate two or more
seats at the same time. This may
result in an electrical malfunc-
tion.
Forward and rearward adjustment
To move the seat forward or rear-
ward:
1. Push the control switch forward or
rearward.
2. Release the switch once the seat
reaches the desired position.
NOTICE
NEVER allow children in the
vehicle unattended. The power
seats are operable when the
engine is turned off.

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).
Seat warmers and air ventila-
tion seats
Front seat warmers
(if equipped)
Seat warmers are provided to warm
the seats during cold weather.
To prevent damage to the seat
warmers and seats:
Never use a solvent such as
paint thinner, benzene, alcohol
or petrol to clean the seats.
Do not place heavy or sharp
objects on seats equipped with
seat warmers.
Do not change the seat cover. It
may damage the seat warmer.
NOTICE
The seat warmers can cause a
SERIOUS BURN, even at low
temperatures and especially if
used for long periods of time.
Passengers must be able to feel
if the seat is becoming too
warm so they can turn it off, if
needed.
People who cannot detect tem-
perature change or pain to the
skin should use extreme cau-
tion, especially the following
passengers:
Infants, children, elderly or
disabled persons, or hospital
outpatients.
People with sensitive skin or
who burn easily.
Fatigued individuals.
Intoxicated individuals.
People taking medication that
can cause drowsiness or
sleepiness.
WARNING
NEVER place anything on the
seat that insulates against heat
when the seat warmer is in oper-
ation, such as a blanket or seat
cushion. This may cause the
seat warmer to overheat, caus-
ing a burn or damage to the seat.

This section describes how to use
the seat belts properly. It also
describes some of the things not to
do when using seat belts.
Seat belt safety precautions
Always fasten your seat belt and
make sure all passengers have fas-
tened their seat belts before starting
any trip. Air bags (if equipped) are
designed to supplement the seat belt
as an additional safety device, but
they are not a substitute. Most coun-
tries require all occupants of a vehi-
cle to wear seat belts.

Seat belts must be used by ALL
passengers whenever the vehi-
cle is moving. Take the following
precautions when adjusting
and wearing seat belts:
ALWAYS properly restrain
children under age 13 in the
rear seats.
NEVER allow children to ride
in the front passenger seat. If
a child age 13 or older must
be seated in the front seat,
move the seat as far back as
possible and properly restrain
them in the seat.
NEVER allow an infant or
child to be carried on an occu-
pant’s lap.
NEVER ride with the seatback
reclined when the vehicle is
moving.
Do not allow children to share
a seat or seat belt.
WARNING Do not wear the shoulder belt
under your arm or behind
your back.
Never wear a seat belt over
fragile objects. If there is a
sudden stop or impact, the
seat belt can damage it.
Do not use the seat belt if it is
twisted. A twisted seat belt
will not protect you properly
in an accident.
Do not use a seat belt if the
webbing or hardware is dam-
aged.
Do not latch the seat belt into
the buckles of other seats.
NEVER unfasten the seat belt
whilst driving. This may cause
loss of vehicle control result-
ing in an accident.
Make sure there is nothing in
the buckle interfering with the
seat belt latch mechanism.
This may prevent the seat belt
from fastening securely.

2-24
Safety system of your vehicle
Seat belts are designed to bear
upon the bony structure of the
body, and should be worn low
across the front of the pelvis or
the pelvis, chest and shoulders,
as applicable; wearing the lap
section of the belt across the
abdominal area must be avoid-
ed.
Seat belts should be adjusted
as firmly as possible, consis-
tent with comfort, to provide the
protection for which they have
been designed.
A slack belt will greatly reduce
the protection afforded to the
wearer.
WARNING Care should be taken to avoid
contamination of the webbing
with polishes, oils and chemi-
cals, and particularly battery
acid. Cleaning may safely be
carried out using mild soap and
water.
The belt should be replaced if
webbing becomes frayed, con-
taminated or damaged. It is
essential to replace the entire
assembly after it has been worn
in a severe impact even if dam-
age to the assembly is not obvi-
ous. Belts should not be worn
with straps twisted. Each seat
belt assembly must only be
used by one occupant; it is dan-
gerous to put a belt around a
child being carried on the occu-
pant's lap.
Damaged seat belts and seat
belt assemblies will not operate
properly. Always replace:
Frayed, contaminated, or
damaged webbing.
Damaged hardware.
The entire seat belt assembly
after it has been worn in an
accident, even if damage to
webbing or assembly is not
apparent.
WARNING
No modifications or additions
should be made by the user
which will either prevent the
seat belt adjusting devices
from operating to remove
slack, or prevent the seat belt
assembly from being adjusted
to remove slack.

Safety system of your vehicle
Additional seat belt safety pre-
cautions
Seat belt use during pregnancy
The seat belts should always be
used during pregnancy. The best way
to protect your unborn child is to pro-
tect yourself by always wearing the
seat belt.
Pregnant women should always
wear a lap-shoulder seat belt. Place
the shoulder belt across your chest,
routed between your breasts and
away from your neck. Place the lap
belt below your belly so that it fits
SNUGLY across your hips and pelvic
bone, under the rounded part of the
belly.
Seat belt use and children
Infant and small children
Most countries have Child Restraint
System laws which require children
to travel in approved Child Restraint
System devices, including booster
seats. The age at which seat belts
can be used instead of a Child
Restraint System differs among
countries, so you should be aware of
the specific requirements in your
country, and where you are travel-
ling. Infant and Child Restraint
Systems must be properly placed
and installed in a rear seat. For more
details refer to the “Child Restraint
Systems” in this chapter.ALWAYS properly restrain
infants and small children in a
Child Restraint System appro-
priate for the child’s height and
weight. To reduce the risk of
serious injury or death to a
child and other passengers,
NEVER hold a child in your lap
or arms when the vehicle is
moving. The violent forces cre-
ated during an accident will tear
the child from your arms and
throw the child against the inte-
rior of the vehicle.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death to an unborn
child during an accident, preg-
nant women should NEVER
place the lap portion of the seat
belt above or over the area of
the abdomen where the unborn
child is located.
WARNING

Small children are best protected from
injury in an accident when properly
restrained in the rear seat by a Child
Restraint System that meets the
requirements of the Australian/New
Zealand standards. Before buying any
Child Restraint System (CRS), make
sure that it has a label certifying that it
meets the requirements of the
Australian/New Zealand standards.
The restraint must be appropriate for
your child's height and weight. Check
the label on the Child Restraint System
for this information. Refer to “Child
Restraint Systems” in this chapter.
Larger children
Children under the age of 13 and who
are too large for a booster seat must
always occupy the rear seat and use
the available lap/shoulder belts. A
seat belt should lie across the upper
thighs and be snug across the shoul-
der and chest to restrain the child
safely. Check belt fit periodically. A
child's squirming could put the belt
out of position. Children are afforded
the most safety in the event of an
accident when they are restrained by
a proper restraint system and/or seat
belts in the rear seat.If a larger child over age 13 must be
seated in the front seat, the child
must be securely restrained by the
available lap/shoulder belt and the
seat should be placed in the rear-
most position.
If the shoulder belt portion slightly
touches the child’s neck or face, try
placing the child closer to the centre
of the vehicle. If the shoulder belt still
touches their face or neck, they need
to be returned to an appropriate
booster seat in the rear seat.
Seat belt use and injured people
A seat belt should be used when an
injured person is being transported.
Consult a physician for specific rec-
ommendations.
One person per belt
Two people (including children) should
never attempt to use a single seat belt.
This could increase the severity of
injuries in case of an accident.
Do not lie down
Sitting in a reclined position when
the vehicle is in motion can be dan-
gerous. Even when buckled up, the
protections of your restraint system
(seat belts and/or air bags) are great-
ly reduced by reclining your seat-
back.
Seat belts must be snug against your
hips and chest to work properly.
During an accident, you could be
thrown into the seat belt, causing
neck or other injuries.
The more the seatback is reclined,
the greater chance the passenger’s
hips will slide under the lap belt or
the passenger’s neck will strike the
shoulder belt. Always make sure larger chil-
dren’s seat belts are worn and
properly adjusted.
NEVER allow the shoulder
belt to contact the child’s
neck or face.
Do not allow more than one
child to use a single seat belt.WARNING
