Seat adjustmentE00400302073
Adjust the driver’s seat so that you are com- fortable and that you can reach the pedals,
steering wheel, switches etc. while retaining a clear field of vision.WARNINGl Do not attempt to adjust the seat while
driving. This can cause loss of vehicle con- trol and result in an accident. After ad-
justments are made, ensure the seating is locked in position by attempting to move
the seat forward and rearward without
using the adjusting mechanism.
l Do not let children or adults ride in areas
of the vehicle that are not equipped with seats or seat belts. Also, make sure that all
occupants are sitting in their seats and wearing their seat belts, and that children
are sitting in child restraints.
l To minimize the risk of personal injury in
the event of a collision or sudden braking,the seatbacks should always be in the al-
most upright position while the vehicle is in motion. The protection provided by theseat belts may be reduced significantly
when the seatback is reclined. There is greater risk that the passenger will slide
under the seat belt, resulting in serious in- jury, when the seatback is reclined.WARNINGl Do not place objects under the seats. This
could prevent the seat from locking se-curely, and it could lead to an accident. It
may also cause damage to the seat or oth-
er parts.CAUTIONl Make sure the seat is adjusted by an adult or
with adult supervision for correct and safe operation.
l Do not place a cushion or the like between
your back and the seatback while driving.The effectiveness of the head restraints will
be reduced in the event of an accident.
l When sliding the seat rearward, be careful
not to catch your hand or foot.Front seat

nition switch or the operation mode in ON.
The indication lamp (A) will illuminate while the heater is on.
1 (HI)- Heater high (for quick heating).2- Heater off.3 (LO)- Heater low (to keep the seat
warm).CAUTIONl Switch off seat heaters when not in use.CAUTIONlOperate in the high position for quick heat-
ing. Once the seat is warm, set the heater to low to keep it warm. Slight variations in seat
temperature may be felt while using the heated seats. This is caused by the operation
of the heater’s internal thermostat and does not indicate a malfunction.
l If the following types of persons use the
heated seats, they might become too hot or receive minor burns (red skin, heat blisters,
etc.):
• Children, elderly or ill people
• People with sensitive skin
• Excessively tired people
• People under the influence of alcohol or
sleep inducing medication (cold medicine, etc.)
l Do not place heavy objects on the seat or
stick pins, needles, or other pointed objects into it.
l Do not use a blanket, cushion, or other mate-
rial with high heat insulation properties on the seat while using the heater; this might
cause the heater element to overheat
l Do not use benzine, kerosene, petrol, alcohol
or other organic solvents when cleaning the seats. Doing so could damage not only the seat cover, but also the heater element.
l If water or any other liquid is spilled on the
seat, allow it to dry thoroughly before at-tempting to use the heater.

place can cause you and your passengers
serious injury or death in an accident. To reduce the risk of injury in an accident, always make sure the head restraints are
installed and properly positioned when the seat is occupied.
l Never place a cushion or similar device on
the seatback. This can adversely affect head restraint performance by increasing
the distance between your head and the restraint.
To adjust height
Adjust the head restraint height so that the
centre of the head restraint is as close as pos-
sible to eye level to reduce the chances of in-
jury in the event of collision. Any person too tall for the head restraint to reach their seatedeye level, should adjust the restraint as highas possible.
To raise the head restraint, move it upward.
To lower the restraint, move it downward
while pushing the height adjusting knob (A) in the direction of the arrow. After adjust-
ment, push the head restraint downward and make sure that it is locked.

E00404800636
To protect you and your passengers in theevent of an accident, it is most important thatthe seat belts be worn correctly while driving.
The front seat belts have a pretensioner sys- tem. These belts are used the same way as a
conventional seat belt.
Refer to “Seat belt pretensioner system and force limiter system” on page 4-14.
WARNINGl Always place the shoulder belt over your
shoulder and across your chest. Never put it behind you or under your arm.
l One seat belt should be used by only one
person. Doing otherwise can be danger- ous.WARNINGl The seat belt will provide its wearer with
maximum protection if the recliner seat-
back is placed in fully upright position.
When the seatback is reclined, there is greater risk that the passenger will slide
under the belt, especially in a forward im-
pact accident, and may be injured by the
belt or by striking the instrument panel or seatbacks.
l Seat belts should always be worn by every
adult who drives or rides in this vehicle,
and by all children who are tall enough to wear seat belts properly.
Other children should always use proper child restraint systems.
l Remove any twists when using the belt.
l No modifications or additions should be
made by the user which will either pre-
vent the seat belt adjusting devices from operating to remove slack, or prevent the
seat belt assembly from being adjusted to remove slack.
l Never hold a child in your arms or on
your lap when riding in this vehicle, even
if you are wearing your seat belt. To do so risks severe or fatal injury to the child in
a collision or sudden stop.
l Always adjust the belt to a snug fit.
l Always wear the lap portion of the belt
over your hips.
