for the child’s age, height and
weight. Secure ALL types of child
restraint devices (including forward
facing child seat) in the REAR seats
at all times.
NEVER INSTALL A FORWARD OR
REARWARD FACING CHILD SEAT IN
THE FRONT SEAT. DOING SO RISKS
SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO
THE CHILD BY PLACING THE
CHILD’S HEAD TOO CLOSE TO
THE SRS AIRBAG.
According to accident statistics,
children are safer when properly
restrained in the rear seating posi-
tions than in the front seating posi-
tions. For instructions and precau-
tions concerning child restraint sys-
tems, refer to“Child restraint sys-
tems”F1-21.
WARNING
To prevent the passenger from slid-
ing under the seatbelt in the event of
a collision, observe the following
precautions:
.Keep the seatback in the upright
position while the vehicle is in
motion.
.Do not place objects such as
cushions between the passenger
and the seatback.
Otherwise, 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.
WARNING
Do not let rear passengers rest their
feet between the front seatback and
seat cushion. Doing so may lead to
improper operation of the following
systems and could result in serious
injury.
.Occupant detection system
.SRS side airbag
.Seat heater (if equipped)

&Head restraint adjustment
WARNING
.Never drive the vehicle with the
head restraints removed because
they are designed to reduce the
risk of serious neck injury in the
event that the vehicle is struck
from the rear. Also, never install
the head restraints the opposite
way round. Doing so will prevent
the head restraints from function-ing as intended. Therefore, when
you remove the head restraints,
you must reinstall all head re-
straints correctly to protect vehi-
cle occupants.
.All occupants, including the dri-
ver, should not operate a vehicle
or sit in a vehicle’s seat until the
head restraints are placed in their
proper positions in order to mini-
mize the risk of neck injury in the
event of a crash.
.The front seat head restraints are
designed to be installed into the
front seats only. The rear seat
head restraints are designed to
be installed into the rear seats
only. Do not attempt to install the
front seat head restraints into the
rear seats, or the rear seat head
restraints into the front seats.
NOTEIt is possible to adjust the angle of the
front seat head restraints only. When
installing the front seat head restraints,
make sure that the angle of the head
restraints can be adjusted.
Both the driver’s seat and front passen-
ger’s seat are equipped with head re-
straints. Both head restraints are adjusta-

Seat heater (if equipped)The front seats are equipped with a seat
heater.
The seat heater operates when the ignition
switch is either in the“ACC”or“ON”
position.
CAUTION
.People with delicate skin may
suffer slight burns even at low
temperatures if they use the seat
heater for a long period of time.
When using the heater, always be
sure to warn the persons con-
cerned.
.Do not put anything on the seat
which insulates against heat,
such as a blanket, cushion, or
similar items. This may cause the
seat heater to overheat.
.When the seat is warmed enough
or before you leave the vehicle,
be sure to turn off the seat heater.NOTEUse of the seat heater for a long period
of time while the engine is not running
can cause battery discharge.

Rear seats
WARNING
Seatbelts provide maximum re-
straint when the occupant sits well
back and upright in the seat. Do not
put cushions or any other materials
between occupants and seatbacks
or seat cushions. 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 internal injury or
death.
WARNING
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.
&Head restraint adjustmentBoth the rear window side seats and the
rear center seat are equipped with head
restraints.
WARNING
.Never drive the vehicle with the
head restraints removed because
they are designed to reduce the
risk of serious neck injury in the
event that the vehicle is struck
from the rear. Therefore, when
you have removed the head re-
straints, you must reinstall all

When the rear-center seating position is
occupied, raise the head restraint to the
extended position. When the rear center
seating position is not occupied, lower the
head restraint to improve rearward visibi-
lity.&Folding down the rear seat-
back
WARNING
.When you fold down the seat-
back, check that there are no
passengers or objects on the rear
seat. Not doing so creates a risk
of injury or property damage if
the seatback suddenly folds
down.
.Never allow passengers to ride
on the folded rear seatback or in
the trunk. Doing so may result in
serious injury or death.
.Secure all objects and especially
long items properly to prevent
them from being thrown around
inside the vehicle and causing
serious injury during a sudden
stop, a sudden steering maneu-
ver or a rapid acceleration.
.When you return the seatback to
its original position, shake theseatback slightly to confirm that
it is securely fixed in place. If the
seatback is not securely fixed in
place, the seatback may sud-
denly fold down in the event of
sudden braking, or objects may
move out from the trunk, which
could cause serious injury or
death.

lowing precautions. Failure to do so
may lead to serious injury or an
accident because the operation effi-
ciency of the seatbelt is inhibited.
.The seatbelt should not be
caught in the seatback and it
should be fully visible.
.The seatbelt should not pass
behind the securing hook for the
seatback.
CAUTION
Do not hang luggage etc. on the
securing hook. The possibility ex-
ists that the seatback may not be
able to be fixed firmly in place. This
could lead to unexpected accidents.

&Armrest (except TYPE RA)To lower the armrest, pull the armrest’s top
edge.
WARNING
.Make sure to have the rear pas-
sengers wear the seatbelts be-
fore lowering the armrest. If the
rear passengers wear the seat-
belts after lowering the armrest,
seatbelts cannot provide maxi-
mum restraint, causing serious
injuries.
.To avoid serious injury, never
allow passengers to sit on the
center armrest while the vehicle
is in motion.
Seatbelts&Seatbelt safety tips
WARNING
.All persons in the vehicle should
fasten their seatbelts BEFORE
the vehicle starts to move. Other-
wise, the possibility of serious
injury becomes greater in the
event of a sudden stop or acci-
dent.
.All belts should fit snugly in order
to provide full restraint. Loose
fitting belts are not as effective in
preventing or reducing injury.
.Each seatbelt is designed to sup-
port only one person. Never use a
single belt for two or more per-
sons–even children. Otherwise,
in an accident, serious injury or
death could result.
.Replace all seatbelt assemblies
including retractors and attach-
ing hardware worn by occupants
of a vehicle that has been in a
serious accident. Also, be sure to
replace seatbelt assemblies that
show signs of severe fraying or
having been cut. The entire as-
sembly should be replaced evenif damage is not obvious.
.Place children in the rear seat
properly restrained at all times.
The SRS airbag deploys with
considerable speed and force
and can injure or even kill chil-
dren, especially if they are not
restrained or improperly re-
strained. Because children are
lighter and weaker than adults,
their risk of being injured from
deployment is greater. For that
reason, we strongly recommend
thatALLchildren(including
those in child seats and those
that have outgrown child re-
straint devices) sit in the REAR
seat properly restrained at all
times in a child restraint device
or in a seatbelt, whichever is
appropriate for the child’s height
and weight.
Secure ALL types of child re-
straint devices (including for-
ward facing child seats) in the
REAR seats at all times.
NEVER INSTALL A FORWARD
OR REARWARD FACING CHILD
SEAT IN THE FRONT SEAT.
