Seat adjustmentE00400300486
Adjust the driver’s seat so that you are comfortable
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 us-
ing the adjusting mechanism.
l It is extremely dangerous to ride in the
luggage area of a vehicle. Also, the lug-
gage area and rear seats should never be
used as a play area by children. In a colli-
sion, people or children riding unrestrain-
ed in these areas are more likely to be se-
riously injured or killed.
Do not allow people or children to ride in
any area of your vehicle that is not equip-
ped with seats and seat belts, and make
sure that everyone travelling in your vehi-
cle is in a seat and wearing a seat belt, or
in the case of a child is strapped in a child
restraint.WARNINGl To minimize the risk of personal injury
in the event of a collision or sudden brak-
ing, the seatbacks should always be in the
almost upright position while the vehicle
is in motion. The protection provided by
the seat belts may be reduced significant-
ly 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.CAUTIONl Make sure the seat is adjusted by an
adult or with adult supervision for cor-
rect and safe operation.
l Do not place a cushion or the like be-
tween your back and the seatback while
driving. The effectiveness of the head re-
straints will be reduced in the event of an
accident.
l When sliding the seats, be careful not to
catch your hand or foot.
l When sliding or reclining the seat rear-
ward, pay careful attention to the rear
seat passengers.Front seat E00400400012To adjust forward or backward E00400500505
Pull the seat adjusting lever and adjust the seat for-
ward or backward to the desired position. After ad-
justment, release the adjusting lever to lock the seat
in position.
WARNINGl To ensure the seat is locked securely, try
to move the seat forward or backward
without using the adjusting lever.

To recline the seatbackE00400600623
In order to recline the seatback, lean forward slight-
ly, pull the seatback lock lever up, and then lean
backward to the desired position and release the lev-
er. The seatback will lock in that position.CAUTIONl The reclining mechanism of the seatback
is spring loaded, causing it to return to
the vertical position when the lock lever
is operated. When operating the lever, sit
close to the seatback or hold it with your
hand to control its return motion.To adjust seat height* E00400700578
Adjust the seat height by repeatedly operating the
lever.
1- Raise
2- Lower
To get in and out of the rear seat (3-
door models) E00401000060
The lever (A) can be used to make getting in and
out easier.
Fold the seatback forward, then slide the entire seat
forward.
To return the seat, slide the entire seat rearward
and then raise the seatback rearward to lock the
seat in position.WARNINGl Do not drive the vehicle with the seatback
folded forward. The seat is not retained
with the seatback in this position, so seri-
ous injuries could be suffered in the event
of hard braking or a collision.CAUTIONl The reclining mechanism of the seatback
is spring loaded, causing it to return to
the vertical position when the lock lever
is operated. When operating the lever, sit
close to the seatback or hold it with your
hand to control its return motion.
