Feature of Seat Leather
Leather is made from the outer skinof an animal, which goes through a
special process to be available for
use. Since it is a natural substance,
each part differs in thickness or
density.
Wrinkles may appear as a natural
result of stretching and shrinking
depending on the temperature and
humidity.
The seat is made of stretchable fab- ric to improve comfort.
The parts contacting the body are curved and the side supporting
area is high which provides driving
comfort and stability.
Wrinkles may appear naturally from usage. It is not a fault of the product.

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.Forward and backward adjustment
The headrest may be adjusted for-
ward or rearward by pulling the lower
part of the headrest forward or rear-
ward to the desired detent in the
direction of the arrow. Adjust the
headrest so that it properly supports
the head and neck.
✽NOTICE
If you recline the seatback towards
the front with the headrest and seat
cushion raised, the headrest may
come in contact with the sunvisor or
other parts of the vehicle.
