Reclining seatback
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.
When the seatback is reclined, the
shoulder belt cannot do its job
because it will not be snug against
your chest. Instead, it will be in front
of you. 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.
Seat cushion height (for driver’s seat)
To change the height of the seat
cushion:
Push down the lever several times,
to lower the seat cushion.
Pull up the lever several times, to
raise the seat cushion. NEVER ride with a reclined
seatback when the vehicle is
moving.
Riding with a reclined seatback
increases your chance of seri-
ous or fatal injuries in the event
of a collision or sudden stop.
The driver and passengers
should ALWAYS sit well back in
their seats, properly restrained,
and with the seatbacks upright.

Headrest
The vehicle’s front and rear seats
have adjustable headrests. The
headrests provide comfort for pas-
sengers, but more importantly they
are designed to help protect passen-
gers from whiplash and other neck
and spinal injuries during an acci-
dent, especially in a rear impact col-
lision.To prevent damage, NEVER hit or
pull on the headrests.
NOTICE
When there are no occupants in
the rear seats, adjust the height
of the headrests to the lowest
position. The rear seat headrest
can reduce visibility at the rear
of the vehicle.
CAUTION
To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death in an accident,
take the following precautions
when adjusting your headrests:
Always properly adjust the
headrests for all passengers
BEFORE starting the vehicle.
NEVER let anyone ride in a
seat with the headrest
removed.

Adjust the headrest so the
middle of the headrests is at
the same height as the height
of the top of the eyes.
NEVER adjust the headrest
position of the driver’s seat
when the vehicle is in motion.
Adjust the headrest as close
to the passenger’s head as
possible. Do not use a seat
cushion that holds the body
away from the seatback.
Make sure the headrest locks
into position after adjusting it.

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

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.

■Front seat
OJS038070AU
Position the lap portion of the
seat belt as low as possible
across your hips, not on your
waist, so that it fits snugly.
This allows your strong pelvic
bones to absorb the force of
the crash, reducing the
chance of internal injuries.
Position one arm under the
shoulder belt and the other
over the belt, as shown in the
illustration.
Always position the shoulder
belt anchor into locked posi-
tion at the appropriate height.
Never position the shoulder
belt across your neck or face.

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.

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
