Seat adjustment
EG21A-Ud
Adjust the driver’s seat so that you are
comfortable and that you can reach the
pedals, steering wheel, switches etc. while
retaining a clear field of vision.
WARNING
(1) If required, always adjust the
seating before the vehicle is in
motion. After adjustments are
made, ensure the seating is
locked in position by attempt-
ing to move the seat and seat-
back forward and rearward
without using the adjusting
mechanism.
WARNING
(2) It is extremely dangerous to ride
in the luggage area (inside or
outside) of a vehicle. Also, the
luggage area and rear seats
should never be used as a play
area by children. In a collision,
people or children riding unre-
strained in these areas are more
likely to be seriously injured or
killed.
Do not allow people or children
to ride in any area of your
vehicle that is not equipped with
seats and seat belts, and make
sure that everyone travelling in
your vehicle is in a seat and
wearing a seat belt, or in the
case of a child is strapped in a
child restraint.
In the interest of their safety,
children should not be allowed
to adjust the seats.
WARNING
(3) To minimize the risk of per-
sonal injury in the event of a col-
lision or sudden braking, the
seatbacks should always be in
the almost upright position while
the vehicle is in motion. The pro-
tection provided by the seat
belts may be reduced signifi-
cantly when the seatback is
reclined. There is greater risk
that the passenger will slide
under the seat belt, resulting in
serious injury, when the seat-
back is reclined.

effectiveness of the head
restraints will be reduced in the
event of an accident.
(3) When sliding or reclining the
seat rearward, pay careful atten-
tion to the rear seat passen-
gers.

CAUTION
(1) Use a foot to operate the pedal
(2).
(2) The reclining mechanism of the
seatback is spring loaded, caus-
ing 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.
WARNING
The front seatbacks also serve the
purpose of protecting passengers in
the rear seat from being thrown for-
wards in case of an accident. Thus,
in order to prevent serious injury, the
vehicle should not be driven with a
seatback tilted forward.
G16A030A
Heated seats*
EG16A-J
The heated seats can be operated with the
ignition switch in the“ON”position.
1- Heater high (for quick heating).
2- Heater off.
3- Heater low (to keep the seat warm).
The indication lamp (A) will illuminate while
the heater is on.
CAUTION
(1) Switch off seat heaters when not
in use.
(2) Operate in the high position for
quick heating. Once the seat is
warm, set the heater to low to
keep it warm. Slight variations in
seat temperature may be felt
while using the heated seats.
This is caused by the opera-
tion of the heater’s internal ther-
mostat and does not indicate a
malfunction.
(3) If the following types of per-
sons use the heated seats, they
might become too hot or receive
minor burns (red skin, heat blis-
ters, etc.):
·Children, elderly or ill people
·People with sensitive skin
·Excessively tired people
·People under the influence of
alcohol or sleep inducing medi-
cation (cold medicine, etc.)
(4) Do not use a blanket, cushion, or
other material with high heat
insulation properties on the seat
while using the heater; this
might cause the heater ele-
ment to overheat.

Making a flat seat
EG05COI
By removing the head restraints and fully
reclining the seatbacks of the seats, one
large flat seat is achieved.
WARNING
Never drive with luggage or passen-
gers on the flat seat. This is highly
dangerous.
In a collision, people or children
riding unrestrained in these areas are
more likely to be seriously injured or
killed.
Do not allow people or children to
ride in any area of your vehicle that
is not equipped with seats and seat
belts, and make sure that everyone
travelling in your vehicle is in a seat
and wearing a seat belt, or in the
case of a child is strapped in a child
restraint.
In the interest of their safety, chil-
dren should not be allowed to adjust
the seats.
CAUTION
(1) To make a flat seat, stop the
vehicle in a safe place.
(2) Make sure that the seat is
adjusted by an adult.
If it is adjusted by a child, an
unexpected accident might
occur.
(3) When sliding the seat, be sure
not to trap your hand or leg.
(4) Do not walk around on top of the
seats after they have been laid
flat.
(5) To ensure the seats are locked
securely, attempt to move them
back and forth.
(6) Do not jump on, or impact the
seatbacks heavily.
(7) To raise the seatback, sit on the
seat and put a hand on the seat-
back and raise slowly. Never
have a child do this operation, or
an unexpected accident may
result.

tion.
Head restraints
EG26A-Ef
WARNING
(1) The head restraints can only pro-
tect you if they are correctly
adjusted.

should not be placed on the
seatback as it may increase the
distance between your head and
the head restraint and reduce
the effectiveness of the restraint.

Confirm that the height adjusting knobs (A)
are correctly adjusted as shown in the illus-
tration, and also lift the head restraints to
ensure that they do not come out of the
seatback.
WARNING
It is dangerous to drive with incor-
rectly adjusted head restraints or
without head restraints installed;
always have them correctly fitted
when using the vehicle. Failure to do
so could cause serious injury if
involved in an accident.
G26B033A
CAUTION
The head restraints for the seats dif-
fer in shape and size. When install-
ing head restraints, make sure the
head restraints are fitted in their
respective seats.
Seat belts
EG28ABMa
To protect you and your passengers in the
event of an accident, it is most important
that the seat belts are worn correctly when
you drive.
The front seat belts have pre-tensioners.
These belts are used the same way as
conventional seat belts.
Refer to“Pre-tensioner seat belt system”on
page 3-56.
WARNING
(1) Never wear the shoulder por-
tion of the seat belt under the
arm or other position which is
incorrect.
(2) One seat belt should be used by
only one person. Doing other-
wise can be dangerous.
(3) The seat belt will provide its
wearer with maximum protec-
tion if the recliner seatback is
placed in fully upright position.
When the seatback is reclined,
there is greater risk that the pas-
senger will slide under the belt,
especially in a forward impact
accident, and may be injured by
the belt or by striking the instru-
ment panel or seatbacks.
