Loose objects in the driver’s
foot area could interfere with
the operation of the foot pedals,
possibly causing an accident.
Do not place anything under the
front seats.
WARNING - Driver
responsibility for passen-
gers
Riding in a vehicle with the
seatback reclined could lead to
serious or fatal injury in an acci-
dent. If a seat is reclined during
an accident, the occupant’s
hips may slide under the lap
portion of the seat belt applying
great force to the unprotected
abdomen. Serious or fatal inter-
nal injuries could result. The
driver must advise the passen-
ger to keep the seatback in an
upright position whenever the
vehicle is in motion.WARNING
Do not use a aftermarket sitting cushion that reduces frictionbetween the seat and passen-
ger. The passenger's hips may
slide under the lap portion ofthe seat belt during an accident
or a sudden stop. Serious orfatal internal injuries couldresult because the seat belt
can't operate normally.

The front seat can be adjusted by
using the control switch located on
the doors. Before driving, adjust theseat to the proper position so as to
easily control the steering wheel,

cause fire.(Continued)
Do not allow anything to inter-fere with the normal position of
the seatback. Storing items
against a seatback or in any
other way interfering with prop-
er locking of a seatback could
result in serious or fatal injury
in a sudden stop or collision.
your seatback upright and the
lap portion of the seat belt
snug and low across the hips.This is the best position to
protect you in case of an acci-dent.
In order to avoid unnecessary and perhaps severe air bag
injuries, always sit as far back
as possible from the steeringwheel while maintaining com-
fortable control of the vehicle.
We recommend that your
chest be at least 250 mm (10
inches) away from the steer-ing wheel.

Headrest-front
The driver's and front passenger's seats are equipped with a headrest
for the occupant's safety and com-
for t.
The headrest not only provides com-
fort for the driver and front passen-
ger, but also helps to protect the
head and neck in the event of a colli-sion.

adjustment memory while sit-
ting in the vehicle. Push the seat
position control knob to the
desired position immediately if
the seat moves too far in anydirection.

Forward and backward adjustment
The headrest may be adjusted for-
ward or backward by pulling the
lower part of the headrest forward or
backward to the desired detent in the
direction of the arrow. Adjust the
headrest so that it properly supports
the head and neck.
WARNING
For maximum effectiveness in case of an accident, the head- rest should be adjusted so the
middle of the headrest is atthe same height as the center
of gravity of an occupant's
head. Generally, the center of
gravity of most people's headis 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 cush-
ion that holds the body away
from the seatback is not rec-ommended.
Do not operate the vehicle with the headrests removed
as severe injury to the occu-
pants may occur in the event
of an accident. Headrests may
provide protection against
neck injuries when properlyadjusted.
Do not adjust the headrest position of the driver's seat
while the vehicle is in motion.WARNING
Do not place or attach the accessories or other things
near the headrest. When the
vehicle stops suddenly or in
certain collisions, they could
come loose and injure vehicleoccupants.

Removal - power
To remove the headrest, raise it as
far as it can go by pulling the switchup (1) then pull the headrest up (2).
To reinstall the headrest, put the headrest poles (3) into the holes
then pull the switch down (4) until the
headrest move to the lowest position.
To install the headrest securely,
move the headrest up and down 2 or
3 times by pulling the switch up and
down.
Electronic active headrest
The electronic active headrest is
designed to trigger the headrest for-
ward and upward when impact sen-
sor detects a rear impact. This helps
to prevent the driver's and front pas-
senger’s heads from moving back-
ward and thus helps minimize neck
injuries.
OKH032012
WARNING
If you don't install the headrest
securely, the active headrest
may not operate normally. When
reinstalling the headrest, install
it securely as procedures.
OBH038069
WARNING
Do not operate the vehicle with
the headrests removed as
severe injury to the occupants
may occur in the event of an
accident. Headrests may pro-
vide protection against neck
injuries when properly adjusted.
WARNING
Make sure the headrest locks in position after adjusting it to
properly protect the occupants.
CAUTION
The active headrest is a safety device to reduce injuries from arear impact. Do not hit or pull the headrest intentionally.
