Child safety
Carefully read the sections “Child restraint
systems”, “*SRS airbag (Supplemental
Restraint System airbag)”, and “Seatbelts”
in chapter 1 of this owner’s manual for in-
structions and precautions concerning the
child restraint system, seatbelt system
and SRS airbag system.
yNever hold a child on your lap or
in your arms while the vehicle is
moving. The passenger cannot
protect the child from injury in a
collision, because the child will be
caught between the passenger
and objects inside the vehicle.
yWhile riding in the vehicle, infants
and small children should always
be placed in one of the rear seat-
ing positions recommended in
this owner’s manual in an infant
or child restraint system which is
appropriate for the child’s age,
height and weight. If a child is too
big for a child restraint system,
the child should sit in a REAR seat
and be restrained using the seat-
belts. According to accident sta-
tistics, children are safer when
properly restrained in the rear
seating positions than in the front
seating positions. Never allow a
child to stand up or kneel on the
seat.
yPut children aged 12 and under in
a REAR seat properly restrained
at all times in a child restraint de-
vice or in a seatbelt. The SRS air-
bag deploys with considerable
speed and force and can injure or
even kill children, especially if
they are 12 years of age and under
and are not restrained or improp-
erly restrained. Because children
are lighter and weaker than
adults, their risk of being injured
from deployment is greater.
yNEVER INSTALL A REARWARD
FACING CHILD SAFETY SEAT IN
THE FRONT SEAT. DOING SORISKS SERIOUS INJURY OR
DEATH TO THE CHILD BY PLAC-
ING THE CHILD’S HEAD TOO
CLOSE TO THE SRS AIRBAG.
yAlways use the child safety locks
whenever a child rides in the rear.
Serious injury could result if a
child accidentally opened the
door and fell out. Refer to the
“Door locks” section in chapter 2.
yAlways lock the passenger’s win-
dows using the lock switch when
children are riding in the vehicle.Failure to follow this procedure
could result in injury to a child op-
erating the power window. Refer
to the “Power windows” section
in chapter 2.
yNever leave unattended children
in the vehicle. They could acci-
dentally injure themselves or oth-
ers through inadvertent operation
of the vehicle. Also, on hot or sun-
ny days, temperature in a closed
vehicle could quickly become
high enough to cause severe or
possibly fatal injuries to them.

T 5-seater models
Pull the lever upward and slide the seat to
the desired position. Then release the le-
ver and move the seat back and forth to
make sure that it is securely locked into
place. T
7-seater models
Pull the lever upward and slide the seat to
the desired position.
When the right seat or the left seat pair is
slid rearward, it stops partway at the lock
y Before adjusting the seat, make
sure the hands and feet of the rear
seat passengers are clear of the
adjusting mechanism (7-seater
models only).
Never adjust the seat while driving.
Doing so is dangerous as the seat
could move rapidly and you could
be injured.

Never stack luggage or other cargo
higher than the top of the seatback
because it could tumble forward and
injure passengers in the event of a
sudden stop or accident.

point so as not to trap the legs of passen-
gers sitting on the third-row seat.
It is possible to slide the seat or seat pairfurther rearward by releasing the lock that
stops it. To do this, simultaneously pull the
lever under the outboard seat cushion and
turn the lever on the side of the seat cush-
ion outward when sliding the seat or seat
pair.
Once you have released the lock, you can
slide the seat or seat pair back and forth
with only the lever under the seat cushion
pulled. If you slide the seat or seat pair for-
ward of the lock point, you will need to re-
lease the lock again before you can slide
it behind the point.
Then release the lever and move the seat
back and forth to make sure that it is se-
curely locked into place.„Reclining the seatback
Pull the lever up and adjust the seatback
to the desired position.
Then release the lever and make sure the seatback is securely locked into place.
If you slide the seat or seat pair aft of
the lock point while the third-row
seat is occupied, be careful not to
trap the legs of the third-row pas-
sengers.
To prevent the passenger from slid-
ing under the seatbelt in the event of
a collision, always put the seatback
in the upright position while the ve-
hicle is in motion. Also, do not place
objects such as cushions between
the passenger and the seatback. If
you do so, the risk of sliding under
the lap belt and of the lap belt sliding
up over the abdomen will increase,
and both can result in serious inter-
nal injury or death.
100085
In a 7-seater model vehicle, never al-
low the third-row seat passengers to
adjust the seatback of the second
row. Doing so is dangerous as the
seatback will tilt rapidly and could
injure the passengers.
