(Continued)
•In order to avoid unnecessary andperhaps severe air bag injuries, al‐ways sit as far back as possiblefrom the steering wheel whilemaintaining comfortable control ofthe vehicle. We recommend thatyour chest be at least 25 cm(10 inches) away from the steer‐ing wheel.
WARNING
nRear seatbacks
•The rear seatback must be secure‐ly latched. If not, passengers andobjects could be thrown forwardresulting in serious injury or deathin the event of a sudden stop orcollision.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•Luggage and other cargo should belaid flat in the cargo area. If ob‐jects are large, heavy, or must bepiled, they must be secured.Under no circumstances shouldcargo be piled higher than theseatbacks. Failure to follow thesewarnings could result in serious in‐jury or death in the event of a sud‐den stop, collision or rollover.
•No passenger should ride in thecargo area or sit or lie on foldedseatbacks while the vehicle ismoving. All passengers must beproperly seated in seats and re‐strained properly while riding.
•When resetting the seatback tothe upright position, make sure itis securely latched by pushing itforward and backwards.
•To avoid the possibility of burns,do not remove the carpet in thecargo area.Emission control devices beneaththis floor generate high tempera‐tures.
WARNING
After adjusting the seat, alwayscheck that it is securely locked intoplace by attempting to move theseat forward or backward withoutusing the lock release lever. Suddenor unexpected movement of thedriver's seat could cause you to losecontrol of the vehicle resulting in anaccident.
WARNING
•Do not adjust the seat while wear‐ing seat belts. Moving the seatcushion forward may cause strongpressure on the abdomen.
•Use extreme caution so that handsor other objects are not caught inthe seat mechanisms while theseat is moving.
•Do not put a cigarette lighter onthe floor or seat. When you oper‐ate the seat, gas may gush out ofthe lighter and cause fire.

Lumbar support (if equipped)
The lumbar support can be adjusted by
pressing the lumbar support switch on the side of the Driver's seat. 1. Press the front portion of the switch to increase support, or the
rear portion of the switch, to de‐
crease support.
2. Release the switch once it reaches the desired position.
Front seat adjustment - power
(if equipped)
The front seat can be adjusted by usingthe control switches located on the
outside of the seat cushion. Before
driving, adjust the seat to the proper position so you can easily control the
steering wheel, pedals and switches on
the instrument panel.
WARNING
The power seat is operable with theengine start/stop button in OFF.Therefore, children should never beleft unattended in the vehicle.
CAUTION
•The power seat is driven by anelectric motor. Stop operating oncethe adjustment is completed. Ex‐cessive operation may damage theelectrical equipment.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•When in operation, the power seatconsumes a large amount of elec‐trical power. To prevent unneces‐sary charging system drain, don’tadjust the power seat longer thannecessary while the engine is notrunning.
•Do not operate two or more powerseat control switches at the sametime. Doing so may result in powerseat motor or electrical compo‐nent malfunction.

•Keep the SRS parts and wiringsaway from water or any liquid. Ifthe SRS components are inopera‐tive due to exposure to water orliquids, it may cause fire or severeinjury.
How does the air bag system
operate
• Air bags are activated (able to inflateif necessary) only when the engine
start/stop button is turned to the ON or START position.
• Air bags inflate instantly in the event of a serious frontal collision or side
collision (if equipped with a side air
bag or curtain air bag) in order to
help protect the occupants from seri‐ ous physical injury.
• There is no single speed at which the air bags will inflate.
Generally, air bags are designed to in‐
flate based upon the severity of a
collision and its direction. These two
factors determine whether the sen‐ sors produce an electronic deploy‐
ment/inflation signal. • Air bag deployment depends on a
number of factors including vehicle
speed, angles of impact and the den‐ sity and stiffness of the vehicles or
objects which your vehicle hits in the
collision. The determining factors are
not limited to those mentioned
above.
• The front air bags will completely in‐ flate and deflate in an instant.
It is virtually impossible for you to
see the air bags inflate during an ac‐
cident.
It is much more likely that you will
simply see the deflated air bags
hanging out of their storage com‐ partments after the collision.
NOTICE
nIf equipped with rollover sen‐
sor
Air bags inflate instantly in the
event of a rollover (if equipped with
a side air bag or curtain air bag) in
order to help protect the occupants
from serious physical injury.
• In order to help provide protection in a severe collision, the air bags must
inflate rapidly. The speed of the air bag inflation is a consequence of ex‐
tremely short time in which a collision
occurs and the need to inflate the air
bag between the occupant and the
vehicle structures before the occu‐ pant impacts those structures.
This speed of inflation reduces the
risk of serious or life-threatening in‐
juries in a severe collision and is thus
a necessary part of the air bag de‐
sign.
However, air bag inflation can also cause injuries which can include facial
abrasions, bruises and broken bones
because the inflation speed also cau‐
ses the air bags to expand with a great deal of force.
•
There are even circumstances underwhich contact with the steeringwheel air bag can cause fatal injuries,especially if the occupant is posi‐tioned excessively close to the steer‐ing wheel.
