Easy access function (if equipped)
With the shift lever in the P position,
the system will move the driver's seat
automatically as follows:
Without smart key system
- It will move the driver’s seat rear-ward when the ignition key is
removed and front driver’s door is
opened.
- It will move the driver’s seat for- ward when the ignition key is
inserted.
With smart key system - It will move the driver’s seat rear-ward when the engine start/stop
button is turned to the OFF posi-
tion and front driver’s door is
opened.
- It will move the driver’s seat for- ward when the engine start/stop
button is turned to the ACC or
START position.
You can activate or deactivate this
feature. Refer to "User settings" in
chapter 4.
Headrest (for front seat)
The driver's and front passenger's
seats are equipped with a headrest
for the occupant's safety and comfort.
The headrest not only provides com-
fort for the driver and front passen-
ger, but also helps protect the head
and neck in the event of a collision. For maximum effectiveness in case
of an accident, the headrest 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.
For this reason, the use of a cushion
that holds the body away from the
seatback is not recommended.

nect a battery terminal, turn the igni-
tion switch to the LOCK position

properly-seated front passenger and
determine if the passenger's front air
bag should be enabled (may inflate)
or not. The driver's front air bag is not
affected or controlled by the occu-
pant detection system.
