NOTE●Do not place heavy objects on th e seat or stick pins, nee-
dles, or other pointed objects into it.
● When cleaning the seat, do not use benzene, gasoline,

● If water or any other liquid is spilled on the seat, allow it
to dry thoroughly before attempting to use the heater.
Rear seat*
E00401300207
NOTE●It is possible to adjust each si de of the rear seats forward
and backward independently of the other side (5-door
models, separated seat only), to adjust the seatback angle
independently on each side, a nd to fold the seatback for-
ward independently on each side.
● If the following types of p ersons use the heated seats,
they might become too ho t 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.)
● Do not use a blanket, cushio n, or other material with
high heat insulation properties on the seat while
using the heater; this might cause the heater element
to overheat.
● Turn the heater off immediately if it appears to be
malfunctioning during use.
CAUTION!
WARNING!
●When a person is sitting in the rear seats, pull up the
head restraint to a height at which it locks in posi-

To adjust height
Adjust the head restraint height so that the centre of the
restraint is as close as possible to eye level to reduce the
chances of injury in the event of a collision. Any person too tall
for the restraint to reach their s eated eye level should adjust the
restraint as high as 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 adjustment, push
the head restraint downward and make sure that it is locked.
To remove
Lift the head restraint with the height adjusting knob (A)
pushed in.
To install
Confirm that the head restraint is facing in the correct direc-
tion, and then insert it into the seatback while pressing the
height adjusting knob (A) in the direction indicated by the
arrows.

E00403400215CAUTION!
●
Confirm that the height adjusting knob (A) is cor-
rectly adjusted as shown in the illustration, and also
lift the head restraints to ensure that they do not
come out of the seatback.
CAUTION!
● The head restraints for the front and rear seats dif-
fer in size. When installi ng head restraints, make
sure the front and rear head restraints are fitted in
their respective seats.
Failure to do so could cause serious injury in the
event of an accident.
WARNING!
● If required, always adjust the seating before the
vehicle is in motion.
● After seat adjustments are made, ensure the seating
is locked in position by attempting to move the seat
and seatback forward and backward without using
the adjusting mechanism.
● The luggage area in the re ar of the vehicle should
never be used as a play area by children. Children
should be seated with seat belts fastened when the
vehicle is in motion. Ensure that the rear seatbacks
are returned to their fully upright position and
locked in place.
CAUTION!
● Do not stack luggage above the seatback height.
Secure the luggage firmly.
Otherwise, serious accide nts could result due to
restricted rear vision or unrestrained objects enter-
ing the passenger comp artment during sudden
braking.
● Make sure that the seat is operated by an adult. If it
is operated by a child, an unexpected accident might
occur.
● When folding or removing the seat (5-door models,
separated seat only), take care not to trap your hand
or leg.
