Backdoor
E00301300424WARNING
l It is
dangerous to drive with the back-
door open since carbon monoxide (CO)
gas can enter the cabin. You cannot see
or smell CO. It can cause unconscious-
ness and even death. CAUTION
l
When the
backdoor
is open, the rear-
right combination lamp is obscured by
the spare wheel.
If the backdoor is opened while the vehi-
cle is parked on the road, alert other road
users to the vehicle’s presence using a
warning triangle or other device as re-
quired by local legislation.
l When closing the backdoor, always en-
sure your or other person’s fingers can-
not be caught by the backdoor.
NOTE l The
backdoor is

equipped with an oil damper
type backdoor stopper, enabling you to hold
the backdoor at a desired position.
l While opening or closing the backdoor, you
may feel slight resistance. This is a structural
feature of the backdoor stopper that supports
the backdoor and does not indicate any abnor-
mality. To lock or unlock from outside the ve-

The security alarm has four modes:
System preparation mode (approx. 20 seconds)
(The buzzer
sounds
intermittently, and the security
alarm indicator (A) blinks) The system preparation time extends from the
point at
which

all of the doors (including the back-
door) are locked by the keyless entry switch to the
point at which the system activation mode goes in-
to effect.
During this time, it is possible to temporarily open
a door without using the keyless entry system and
without causing the alarm to sound (for example,
when you forget something inside the vehicle or re-
alize that a window is open).
System armed mode
(The buzzer stops, and the security alarm indicator
continues to blink slowly)
Once the system preparation mode has ended, the
system armed mode starts. If an unlawful opening
of any of the doors (including the backdoor) or the
bonnet is detected during the system armed mode,
the alarm will be activated to warn people around
the vehicle of an abnormal condition. Also, if unlawful moving of the vehicle is attemp-
ted or
a

vehicle intrusion is detected, the alarm will
be activated.
Alarm activation
The turn-signal lamps blink and the siren sounds
for approximately 30 seconds. Refer to “Alarm ac-
tivation” on page 1-14.
NOTE
l The alarm will resume if unlawful actions
are taken again, even if the alarm has stopped.
System cancellation
It is possible to cancel the system activation during
the system preparation mode or the system armed
mode.
In addition, it is possible to cancel the alarm once it
has been activated.
Refer to “Cancelling the system” on page 1-13,
“Cancelling the alarm” on page 1-14.
NOTE l When lending the vehicle to another person
or allowing the vehicle to be driven by some-
one who is unfamiliar with the security
alarm system, be sure to give the person a
proper explanation of the security alarm sys-
tem or set the security alarm system to the “in-
active” mode.
If a person who is unfamiliar with the securi-
ty alarm system accidentally unlocked the ve-
hicle, causing the alarm to sound, the alarm
would be a nuisance to people nearby. Changing the security alarm settings

To recline the seatback E00402800124
In order to recline the seatback, lean forward slight-
ly, pull the
seatback lock lever as shown in the illus-
tration, and then lean backward to the desired posi-
tion and release the lever. The seatback will lock in
that position. CAUTION
l
The reclining
mechanism
of the seatback
is spring loaded, causing it to return to
the vertical position when the lock lever
is operated. When using the lever, sit
close to the seatback or hold it with your
hand to control its return motion. Head restraints
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
backward. Seat and seat belts
