REAR DOOR CHILDPROTECTORS
Move the lock lever to the “LOCK”
position as shown on the label.
When the child−protector is locked, you
cannot open the rear door by the inside
door handle. We recommend using this
feature whenever small children are in the
vehicle.
CAUTION
Before driving, be sure that the doors
are closed and locked, especially
when small children are in the ve-
hicle. Along with the proper use of
seat belts, locking the doors helps
prevent the driver and passengers
from being thrown out from the ve-
hicle in an accident. It also helps pre-
vent the doors from being opened
unintentionally.

12xD011a
CAUTION
To avoid death or serious injury, you
must do the following.
Before you close the power win-
dows, always make sure there is
nobody around the power windows.
You must also make sure the
heads, hands and other parts of the
bodies of all occupants are kept
completely inside the vehicle. If
someone’s neck, head or hands get
caught in a closing window, it
could result in death or serious in-
jury. When anyone closes the power
windows, make sure he or she op-
erates the windows safely.
When small children are in the ve-
hicle, never let them use the power
window switches without supervi-
sion. Use the window lock switch to
prevent them from making unex-
pected use of the switches.
Be sure to remove the key when
you leave your vehicle.
Never leave anyone (particularly a
small child) alone in your vehicle,
especially with the key still in-
serted. Otherwise, he or she could
use the power window switches and
get trapped in a window. An unat-
tended person (particularly a small
child) can be involved in serious
accident.

24
Seats
While the vehicle is being driven, all ve-
hicle occupants should have the seatback
upright, sit well back in the seat and prop-
erly wear the seat belts provided.
CAUTION
Do not drive the vehicle unless the
occupants are properly seated. Do
not allow any occupants to sit on
top of a foldeddown seatback, or
in the luggage compartment or car-
go area. If the occupants are im-
properly seated or restrained by
seat belts, death or serious injury
could result in the event of emer-
gency braking or a collision.
During driving, do not allow any
passengers to stand up or move
around between seats. Otherwise,
death or serious injuries can occur
in the event of emergency braking
or a collision.
Driver seat
CAUTION
The SRS driver airbag deploys with
considerable force, and can cause
death or serious injury especially if
the driver is very close to the airbag.
The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (“NHTSA”) advises:
Since the risk zone for driver airbag
is the first 5075 mm (23 in.) of
inflation, placing yourself 250 mm (10
in.) from your driver airbag provides
you with a clear margin of safety.
This distance is measured from the
center of the steering wheel to your
breastbone. If you sit less than 250
mm (10 in.) away now, you can
change your driving position in sever-
al ways:
Move your seat to the rear as far
as you can while still reaching the
pedals comfortably.
Slightly recline the back of the
seat. Although vehicle designs vary,
many drivers can achieve the 250
mm (10 in.) distance, even with the
driver seat all the way forward, sim-
ply by reclining the back of the
seat somewhat. If reclining the back
of your seat makes it hard to see
the road, raise yourself by using a
firm, nonslippery cushion, or raise
the seat if your vehicle has that
feature.
If your steering wheel is adjustable,
tilt it downward. This points the air-
bag toward your chest instead of
your head and neck.
The seat should be adjusted as rec-
ommended by NHTSA above, while
still maintaining control of the foot
pedals, steering wheel, and your view
of the instrument panel controls.
Front seats—
—Front seat precautions

25
Front passenger seat
CAUTION
The SRS front passenger airbag
also deploys with considerable
force, and can cause death or seri-
ous injury especially if the front
passenger is very close to the air-
bag. The front passenger seat
should be as far from the airbag as
possible with the seatback adjusted,
so the front passenger sits upright.
Do not use a seat accessory, such
as a cushion or seat cover, that
covers the front seat, or do not
modify or replace the upholstery of
the front seat. Such accessories or
changes may prevent the front pas-
senger airbag system from activat-
ing correctly, disable the system or
cause the front passenger airbag to
inflate accidentally, resulting in
death or serious injury.
Front seats (with SRS side airbags)
CAUTION
The SRS side airbags are installed in
the driver and front passenger seats.
Observe the following precautions.
Do not lean against the front door
when the vehicle is in use, since
the side airbag inflates with consid-
erable speed and force. Otherwise,
you may be killed or seriously in-
jured.
Do not use seat accessories which
cover the area where the side air-
bags inflate. Such accessories may
prevent the side airbags from acti-
vating correctly causing death or
serious injury.
Do not modify or replace the seats
or upholstery of the seats with side
airbags. Such change may prevent
the side airbag system from activat-
ing correctly, disable the system or
cause the side airbags to inflate ac-
cidentally, resulting in death or seri-
ous injury.
—Seat adjustment precautions
CAUTION
Do not adjust the seat while the ve-
hicle is moving as the seat may un-
expectedly move and cause the
driver to lose control of the vehicle.
Be careful that the seat does not
hit a passenger, luggage or rear
seat.
After adjusting the seat position, re-
lease the lever and try sliding the
seat forward and backward to make
sure it is locked in position.
After adjusting the seatback, push
your body back against the seat to
make sure the seat is locked in
position.
Do not put objects under the seats.
Otherwise, the objects may interfere
with the seatlock mechanism or
unexpectedly push up the seat posi-
tion adjusting lever and the seat
may suddenly move, causing the
driver to lose control of the vehicle.
While adjusting the seat, do not put
your hands under the seat or near
the moving parts. Otherwise, your
hands or fingers may be caught and
injured.

Head restraints
Front seat
Rear seat
For your safety and comfort, adjust the
head restraint before driving.
Make sure that the head restraints are
adjusted so that the center of the head
restraint is closest to the top your ears.
To raise: Pull it up.
To lower: Push it down while pressing the
lock release button.
Rear center head restraint—When an oc-
cupant sits on the rear center seat, al-
ways pull up the rear center head re-
straint to the lock position.
The head restraint is most effective when
it is close to your head. Therefore, using
a cushion on the seatback is not recom-
mended.
The head restraints are specially designed
for the seats on which they are installed.
Removing the front head restraints1. Pull the head restraint up.
2. Insert a flathead screwdriver into the head restraint installation hole with red
marking. (The other installation hole
has the lock release button.)
3. While pushing in the screwdriver, pull up the head restraint.CAUTION
The head restraints are designed to
help reduce risk of whiplash injury by
restraining the movement of the occu-
pant’s head in the event of a rear
collision.
Observe the following precautions re-
garding the head restraints. Failure to
do so may result in death or serious
injury.
Adjust the center of the head re-
straint so that it is closest to the
top of your ears.
Use the head restraint designed for
each respective seat.
After adjusting the head restraint,
make sure it is locked in position.
Do not drive with the head re-
straints removed.

—Seat belt pretensioners
Both front seats are equipped with seat
belt pretensioners and are designed to
be activated in response to a severe
frontal impact.
When the sensor detects a severe frontal
impact, the front seat belts are quickly
drawn back by the retractors so that the
belts snugly restrain the occupants.The front passenger ’s seat belt pretension-
er will not activate if no passenger is
detected in the front passenger seat by
the front passenger occupant classification
system. However, the front passenger’s
seat belt pretensioner may activate if lug-
gage is put on the seat, or the seat belt
is buckled up regardless of the presence
of an occupant in the seat. (As for the
front passenger occupant classification
system, see “—Front pass
enger occupant
classification system” on page 62.)
The seat belt pretensioners and SRS air-
bags may not operate together in all colli-
sions.The seat belt pretensioner system con-
sists mainly of the following components,
and their locations are shown in the il-
lustration.
1. Front airbag sensors
2. SRS warning light
3. “AIR BAG ON” and “AIR BAG OFF” indicator lights
4. Front passenger occupant classification system (ECU and sensors)
5. Seat belt pretensioner assemblies
6. Front passenger ’s seat belt buckle switch
7. Driver ’s seat belt buckle switch
8. Airbag sensor assembly
