4. To remove the infant seat, press the buckle release button
and allow the belt to retract completely. The belt will move
freely again and be ready to work for an adult or older child
passenger.(B) Convertible seat installation
16L307
A convertible seat must be used in forwardfacing or
rearfacing
position depending on the age and size of the
child. When installing, follow the manufacturer’s
instructions about the appropriate age and size of the
child as well as directions for installing the child restraint
system.

CAUTION
Never install a rearfacing child restraint system on
the front passenger seat. In the event of an accident,
the force of the rapid inflation of the front passenger
airbag can cause death or serious injury to the child
if the rearfacing child restraint system is installed
on the front passenger seat.
16L554
Move seat fully back
 A forwardfacing child restraint system should be
allowed to be installed on the front passenger seat
only when it is unavoidable. Always move the seat as
far back as possible, because the front passenger
airbag could inflate with considerable speed and
force. Otherwise, the child may be killed or seriously
injured.
 Do not allow the child to lean his/her head or any part
of his/her body against the door or the area of the
seat, front or rear pillar, or roof side rail from which
the side airbags or curtain shield airbags deploy even
if the child is seated in the child restraint system. It
is dangerous if the side airbag and curtain shield
airbag inflate, and the impact could cause death or
serious injury to the child.

1. Sit the child on a booster seat. Run the lap and shoulder belt
through or around the booster seat and across the child
following the instructions provided by its manufacturer and
insert the tab into the buckle taking care not to twist the belt.
Make sure the shoulder belt is correctly across the child’s
shoulder and that the lap belt is positioned as low as possible
on the child’s hips. See “Seat belts” on page 168 for details.

across the center of child’ s shoulder. The belt should
be kept away from child’s neck, but not falling off
child’s shoulder. Otherwise, the child may be killed
or seriously injured in case of sudden braking or a
collision.

222Conditions for memorized position activation

Ignition switch “ON” and selector lever in “N” or “P” position
with the vehicle stopped.
All parts of the memorized positions can be activated.
 Ignition switch off and within 30 seconds of opening driver’s
door.
The memorized position can be activated, except for the tilt
and telescopic steering.
If any driving position memory switch is pushed while one of
the memorized driving position profiles is being activated, the
operation will stop.
To activate the system, push the desired button (“1”, “2” or \
“3”)
again.
The driving position memory control system cannot be
operated while the vehicle is moving.
CAUTION
 Do not start the vehicle while the adjustments are
being made.
 Take care not to select the wrong button, or the seat
could strike the rear passenger or hit your body
against the steering wheel. If this happens, you can
stop the movement by pressing another driving
position memory switch.
MEMORY CALL SYSTEM USING A SMART KEY
This system allows you to adjust the driver’s seat, the
driver’s head restraint height, driver’s seat cushion
length, the height of the shoulder belt anchor of the
driver’s seat belt and outside rear view mirrors to the
memorized position when you open the driver’s door after
unlocking it with a smart key. And when you push the
ignition switch, the tilt and telescopic steering is adjusted.
To activate this system, the ID of the smart key needs to
be registered in the memory button.
Registering the smart key ID code
Before the registration of the ID of the smart key, the driving
position must be memorized in the memory button.
When registering, the driver’s door must be closed with the
ignition switch in the “OFF” position.
1. Keep the smart key in possession, select a button in
which you want to record the ID of the key from buttons
“1”, “2” and “3” and push it.
2. Push the “LOCK” or “UNLOCK” button on the smart
key for about one second with button “1”, “2” or “3” held\
down.
When the registration is completed, one beep sounds. If the
key has already been registered, the previous memory will be
erased. If the same driving position profile for the same key is
registered in another button, that memory will also be erased.

STARTING AND DRIVING

Precaution for precollision safety system
It should be noted that the pre−collision sensor may detect the
following as the objects with which your vehicle might collide,
and the pre −collision safety may operate, even though there
is no possibility of collision.
 When traveling through a curve, there is an object on the
edge of the road.
 When traveling through a curve, another vehicle is passing
from the opposite direction.
 When traveling across a narrow iron bridge.
 When there is a metallic object on the road.
 When there is a steel plate on the road at a construction site.
 When there is a bump on the road.
 When waiting to turn to the left in an intersection, and
another vehicle is passing from the opposite direction.
 If your vehicle approaches another vehicle ahead very
quickly.CAUTION
Do not rely solely on the precollision safety system
to avoid accidents. Your safe and attentive driving
practices are still the best way to avoid accidents and
you are always responsible for the operation of the
vehicle and the safety of your passengers. When
driving, always pay attention to the surrounding
conditions and the course you are driving.
 The precollision sensor’s collision detection
performance is limited. The sensor is able to detect
a forward object within 10 degrees on either left or
right side. If it is out of the range, or if there is no or
weak millimeter wave reflection, the sensor could not
detect the object and the system does not work
properly.
 Even if the precollision safety is operative in an
unavoidable collision, unless the seat belts are worn
and the brake pedal is depressed, the precollision
seat belts and precollision brake assist system will
not work.
