Seats
!WARNING:
1. Do not make adjustments when the vehicle is moving.
2. Front passengers must not ride with the seat fully reclined.
All seats, except the rear bench type,
are adjusted electrically by switches on
the side of the seat cushion. Adjustment
can be made with or without the ignition
key inserted.
Three different positions can be stored
and recalled by a memory system for
each seat. (Steering wheel, pedals and
door mirrors positions are also
memorised for the driver.) See Memory
Setting on page 3 - 31.
Note: It is advisable to move the seat to
the correct position in relation to the gear
lever and front and side vision before
adjusting the steering column, pedals,
mirrors and seat belt.
Front Seat Adjustment
Note: The full range of front seat
adjustments are: (
A ) – Backrest angle (recline) and headrest
height.
( B ) – Seat fore and aft position; cushion
height and front tilt:
• Move the switch forward or rearward to change the seat fore and aft
position.
• Move the centre or rear of the switch up or down to adjust cushion height.
• Move the front of the switch up or down to tilt the front of the cushion.
( C ) – Provides adjustable lumbar support
in the lower backrest. Either a 2-way or
4-way switch may be fitted:
• 2-way or 4-way switch: Press the
front or back of the switch to
increase/decrease lumbar support.
• 4-way switch only: Press the top of
the switch to increase higher lumbar,
decreasing lower lumbar support.
Press the bottom of the switch to
increase lower lumbar, decreasing
higher lumbar support. Press the front
of the switch to increase mid-lumbar
and the rear to decrease all lumbar
support.
( D ) – If specified, varies the cushion
extension. Moving the control will change
the distance between the front of the
cushion and the backrest.

Head Restraint Adjustment
!WARNING:
Adjust the head restraint so that it is
just behind your head and never
behind your neck.
All headrests may be manually tilted,
except those fitted with rear display
screens. Rear head restraint adjustment
The rear head restraints on vehicles
without electrically operated rear seats
may be manually adjusted.
To raise the outer rear seat headrests,
pull the headrest upwards. To lower,
press the lever in the escutcheon (shown
in the upper illustra
tion) and push the
headrest into the seat back.
Rear Seat Adjustment
Seats with individual backrests may be
adjusted electrically using the switches on
the sides of the seat cushions. Adjustment
can be made with or without the ignition
key inserted.
Seat adjustments are:
( A ) – Backrest recline and headrest
height.
( B ) – Adjustable lumbar support in the
lower backrest: Increase/decrease
support and up/down movement, as for
front seats.
For increased comfort, the front
passenger seat fore and aft movement
and backrest recline can be controlled
from the rear seat immediately behind,
using switch ( C). Note:
Operation of the front seat by a
rear seat passenger and rear seat
operation, except for lumbar adjustment,
can be disabled from the driver’s door
switchpack window and rear feature
immobilisation switch (see page 4 - 30).

3 - 6 Before Driving
Pedal Adjustment
!WARNING:
Do not adjust the pedals whilst driving.
This facility enables the pedals to be moved towards or away
from the driver’s seat, providing extra adjustment for the driving
position. All pedals move together (no individual pedal
adjustment) and are electrically controlled from the combined
steering column/pedal adjust switch on the left side of the
steering column housing. The adjustment can be made with or
without the ignition key inserted.
To adjust the position of the pedals, turn the switch
to ‘PEDALS’, then push it forwards or rearwards to cause a
corresponding movement of the pedal assembly.
Three pedal positions may be stored and recalled by the driver
position memory system. See Memory Setting on page 3 - 31.
It will not be possible to adjust the pedals if cruise control has
been set.

Steering Column
Adjustment
!WARNING:
Do not adjust the steering column
whilst driving.
The steering column can be adjusted for
tilt and reach by operating the rotary/
joystick control switch (A ) on the left side
of the steering column.
1. Turn the switch to the ‘COLUMN’ or ‘AUTO’ position.
2. Move the switch forwards or backwards to adjust reach.
3. Move the switch up or down to tilt.
Three column positions may be stored
and recalled by the driver position
memory system. See Memory Setting
on page 3 - 31.
Entry/exit mode
Entry/exit mode provides automatic
movement of the steering column and
driver’s seat to allow easier entry to or
exit from the vehicle.
Entry/exit mode is selected by setting the
steering column adjustment switch to the
‘AUTO’ position ( B). Exit
– If the ignition key is in position ‘0’
and the driver’s door is opened or if the
ignition key is removed, the steering
column will move to the uppermost tilt
position. The seat will move rearwards
unless it is already 1.5 inches (4 cm) or
less from its fully rearward position when
it will not move any further back.
Entry – When the key is next inserted in
the ignition switch and the door is closed,
the steering column and seat will return
to their previous positions. If, however,
the memorised driver position has been
changed (using the door memory switch
or another integrated key), the steering
wheel and seat will move to the new
position. Caution: Do not use steering wheel
mounted security devices since
movement of the steering wheel in
entry/exit mode could result in
vehicle damage (e.g. the windscreen)
or possible injury to the occupant.
Note:
1. If the adjustment switch is moved
away from ‘AUTO’ whilst the steering
column is tilted away, the steering
column will move back to its
memorised position when the key is
next inserted in the ignition and
entry/exit mode is then cancelled.
2. If the adjustment switch is moved during entry/exit operation, steering
column movement will stop.

Occupant Protection
Seat Belts
The use of front and rear seat belts is
mandatory in most countries. Using seat
belts saves lives. They should be worn by
all occupants whenever the vehicle is in
use, for maximum protection.
Lap/shoulder inertia reel seat belts are
provided for both front occupants and
three rear seat positions.
The inertia operating mechanism of the
seat belts allows the wearers to move
their upper bodies to reach various
controls. The seat belts lock automatically
with accelerated body movement or in
the event of emergency braking.
The seat belt assemblies incorporate
additional safety devices. All have belt
pretensioners and the front belts also
have force limiters. These devices provide
increased protection in the event of a
severe frontal impact.
The pretensioners operate with the air
bags as part of the Advanced Restraints
Technology System (see page 3 - 14). All passenger seat belt mechanisms
incorporate an automatic locking device
to allow child seats to be secured safely.
Forchild safety seepage3-23.
Comfort belts are fitted to both individual
electrically operated rear seats. They are
also fitted to the outer seats only on the
electrically operated rear bench seat.
These belts incorporate a twin tension
facility. When the belt is buckled around
the occupant, a reduced tension is
applied to provide a more comfortable
fitting. When the belt is unfastened,
a higher tension is applied to allow it to
retract correctly.
Beltminder
The Beltminder feature is a supplemental
warning to the seat belt warning function
(see page 4 - 6). This feature provides
additional reminders to the driver that
the driver’s and/or front passenger’s seat
belt is unbuckled by intermittently
sounding a chime and illuminating the
seat belt warning lamp in the instrument
cluster.
Note:
Not all countries have the warning
chime. Front belt height adjustment
To adjust the front seat belt heights, press
the locking button and slide the
anchorage so that the seat belt webbing
passes over the shoulder without pulling
against the neck. Release the button and
check that the anchorage point is locked.
Always check the anchorage point after
the seat has been adjusted to ensure that
the belt is correctly positioned.

Before Driving 3 - 17
Occupancy sensing
The front passenger seat is monitored by ultra-sonic sensors
(shown above) and a seat weight sensor to determine the
presence, weight and position of the front passenger. In certain
conditions, e.g. where no passenger is present, the appropriate
air bags will be deactivated. In a collision these air bags would
not be deployed. Note:
The occupancy sensing system is designed to confirm that
a front passenger is properly seated as recommended:
• Always sit centrally in the seat, remaining in contact with the seat back which for comfort should be rearwards of the
vertical position.
• Adjust the seat to be as far back from the fascia as practical.
• Always wear seatbelts.
The seat adjustment controls are described on page 3 - 3.
!WARNING:
It is important that the passenger position sensors
(see illustration) are not obscured in any way which could
affect air bag deployment, e.g. fitting non-approved
accessories.

3 - 22 Before Driving
Driving Position
!WARNING:
Driver and front seat passenger
should always move their seats as far
rearwards as is practical.
Ideally, drivers should sit with at least
10 inches (25.4 cm) between the centre
of their breastbone and the cover of the
steering wheel air bag.
Since the risk zone at the time of
deployment is the first 2 to 3 inches
(5.5 cm – 7.5 cm) from the air bag cover,
sitting back 10 inches (25.4 cm) provides
a clear margin of safety. Very few drivers
are unable to achieve and maintain that
safety gap. The vast majority of drivers who do not
now sit that far back can change their
position and achieve that distance.
• If adjustable pedals are fitted, move
them towards the seat.
• Move your seat back as far as you can while still comfortably reaching the
pedals.
• Recline the back of your seat one or two notches from the upright
position. If reclining the back of your
seat makes it hard to see the road,
raise the seat.
• Tilt the steering wheel/column downwards so as to point the air bag
at your chest instead of your head and
neck. Adjust the steering wheel/
column fore/aft so that it extends
towards the driver as little as possible,
ensuring that the air bag has plenty of
room to deploy.
• Sit in the centre of the seat with the head as close to the head restraint as
possible. Note:
Seat, steering wheel and pedal
adjustment controls are described
elsewhere in this section.

3 - 26 Before Driving
• Never modify the seat harness or buckles as this may affect the quick
release mechanism.
• Always secure your child correctly, even for a short journey.
• Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for harness adjustments.
Booster seats
If a booster seat is used, position the lap
section of the adult seat belt over the
child’s pelvis. The diagonal seat belt
should rest on the child’s shoulder,
not the neck.Check List – Non-LATCH Child
Restraints
Follow the check list each time a child
travels in the vehicle:
• Always attach the top tether when
installing a forward-facing child seat.
• Carefully follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the
restraint system.
• Always use the appropriate child restraints and adjust harnesses for
every child, every trip.
• Avoid dressing a child in bulky clothing and do not place any objects
between the child and the restraint
system.
• No child seat is completely child- proof. Encourage your child not to
play with buckle or harness. • Regularly check the fit of your child
seat and replace seats or harnesses
that show signs of wear.
• Ensure that you have removed all slack from the adult seat belt and that
the automatic locking device is
activated.
• Never leave a child unsupervised in the vehicle.
• Activate the rear door child safety locks (see page 2 - 14).
• Ensure your child does not exit the vehicle from the side where there is
traffic.
• Set your child a good example – always wear your seat belt.
