terial with high heat insulation properties
on the seat while using the heater; this
might cause the heater element to overheat
l When cleaning the seat, do not use ben-
zene, kerosene, petrol, alcohol, or other or-
ganic solvents; these might damage the
surface of the seat and also the heater ele-
ment.
l If water or any other liquid is spilled on
the seat, allow it to dry thoroughly before
attempting to use the heater.
l Turn the heater off immediately if it ap-
pears to be malfunctioning during use. Rear seats (3-door models)*/
Second seats (5-door models)* E00402000184 WARNING
l When a
person
is sitting in the middle seat-
ing position of the rear seats (3-door mod-
els)/second seats (5-door models), pull up
the head restraint to a height at which it
locks in position. Be sure to make this ad-
justment before starting to drive. Serious
injuries could otherwise be suffered as
the result of an impact. Refer to “Head re-
straints” on page 2-11. To recline the seatback
E00402200157

E00403301149 WARNING
l Driving without
the
head restraints in
place can cause you and your passengers
serious injury or death in an accident. To
reduce the risk of injury in an accident, al-
ways make sure the head restraints are in-
stalled 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 possible to eye
level to reduce the chances of injury in the event of
collision. Any person too tall for the head restraint
to reach their seated eye level, should adjust the re-
straint as high as possible. To raise the head restraint, move it upward. To low-
er 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 adjust forward or backward (front
seats)
Tilt
the
head

restraint towards you to adjust it for-
ward. To adjust it backward, tilt the head restraint

sired.
To unfasten
Hold the

latch plate and push the button on the buck-
le. NOTE

damage the vehicle. Seat belt reminder/warning lamp
E00409800338
The seat belt

warning lamp is located on the instru-
ment panel. A tone and warning lamp are used to
remind the driver to fasten the seat belt. When the ignition key is turned to the “ON” posi-
tion, the warning

lamp will come on and a tone
will sound for about 6 seconds. If the driver’s seat
belt remains unfastened for approximately 1 mi-
nute later, the warning lamp will flash and the tone
sound intermittently (each 12 times) when the vehi-
cle is driven. If the driver subsequently unfastens
the seat belt while driving, the warning lamp and
tone will issue further warnings. And if the seat
belt remains unfastened, the warning lamp and tone
will issue further warnings each time the vehicle
starts moving from a stop. When the seat belt is fas-
tened, the warnings will stop.
Adjustable seat belt anchor (front
seats) E00405000286
The seat belt anchor height can be adjusted. Move the seat belt anchor down with the lock knob

Caution for installing the child re-
straint on vehicles with a front passen-
ger airbag
The label
shown
here is attached on vehicles with a
front passenger airbag. WARNING
l Extreme Hazard!
Do not
use

a rearward facing child re-
straint on a seat protected by an airbag in
front of it!
NOTE l The
labels may

be in different positions de-
pending on the vehicle model. Use rearward facing child restraints in the rear seat
or
turn
off

the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF
switch. (Refer to “To turn an airbag off” on page
2-36).
Front passenger’s airbag ON WARNING
l A REARWARD
FACING
CHILD RE-
STRAINT must NOT be used in the front
passenger seat if the front passenger’s air-
bag has not been deactivated. The force
of an inflating airbag could kill or cause
serious injuries to the child. A rearward
facing child restraint should be used in
the rear seat.
l A FORWARD FACING CHILD RE-
STRAINT should be used in the rear seat
whenever possible; if used in the front
seat, adjust the seat to the most rearward
position. Infants and small children
E00406600641
When transporting infants and small children in
your vehicle, follow the instruction given below. Instruction:
l For small
infants,

an infant carrier should be
used. For small children whose height when
seated allows the shoulder belt to lie in con-
tact with the face or the throat, a child seat
should be used. Seat and seat belts

l
The child
restraint system should be appropri-
ate for the child’s weight and height and prop-
erly fit in the vehicle. For a higher degree of
safety: THE CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM
SHOULD BE INSTALLED IN THE REAR
SEAT.
l Before purchasing a child restraint system,
try installing it in the rear seat to make sure
there is a good fit. Because of the location of
the seat belt buckles and the shape of the seat
cushion, it may be difficult to securely install
some manufacturer’s child restraint systems.
If the child restraint system can be pulled for-
ward or to either side easily on the seat cush-
ion after the seat belt has been tightened,
choose another manufacturer’s child restraint
system. WARNING
l When installing
a
child restraint system,
refer to the instructions provided by the
manufacturer of the restraint system. Fail-
ure to do so can result in severe or fatal
injury to the child.
l After installation, push and pull the child
restraint system back and forth, and side
to side, to see that it is properly secured.
If the child restraint system is not instal-
led securely, it may cause injury to the
child or other occupants in the case of ac-
cident or sudden stops. WARNING
l When the child
restraint system is not in
use, keep your child restraint system se-
cured with the seat belt or remove it from
the vehicle in order to prevent it from be-
ing thrown around inside the vehicle dur-
ing an accident.
NOTE l Depending
on the

seating position in the ve-
hicle and the child restraint system that you
have, the child restraint can be attached us-
ing one of the following two locations: • To the lower anchorage in the rear seat (3-door models) / second seat (5-door mod-
els) ONLY if the child restraint has ISO-
FIX mountings (See page 2-31).
• To the seat belt (See page 2-32).
Older children E00406700147
Children who have outgrown the child restraint sys-
tem should be seated in the rear seat and wear com-
bination lap shoulder belt.
The lap portion of the belt should be snug and posi-
tioned low on

the abdomen so that it is below the
top of the hip-bone. Otherwise, the belt could in-
trude into the child’s abdomen during an accident
and cause injury. Seat and seat belts
