SEAT AND SEAT BELTS
CAUTIONIf your vehicle is equipped with the
rear seat head restraint, the head re-
straints for the front and rear seats
differ in size.
When installing head restraints,
make sure the front and rear head re-
straints are fitted in their respective
seats.
Failure to do so could cause serious
injury if involved in an accident.
Heated seats*EG16A-Ga
The heated seats can only be operated
with the ignition switch in the “ON” posi-
tion.
1 - Heater high (for quick heating)
2 - Heater off
3 - Heater low (to keep the seat warm)
Armrest*EG27AAA
Tilt the armrest for use as illustrated.

SEAT AND SEAT BELTS
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
the seat temperature may be felt
while using the heated seats.
This is caused by the operation
of the heater’s internal thermo-
stat and does not indicate a mal-
function.
(3) If the following types of persons
use the heated seats, they might
become too hot or receive minor
burns (red skin, heat blisters,
etc.):
• Children, elderly persons, ill
people
• People with sensitive skin
• Excessively tired people
• People under the influence of
alcohol or sleep inducing
medication (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 element
to overheat.
(5) Turn the heater off immediately
if it appears to be malfunction-
ing during use.
NOTE
(1) Do not place heavy objects on the
seat or stick pins, needles, or other
pointed objects into it.
(2) When cleaning the seat, do not use
benzene, gasoline, alcohol, or other
organic solvents; this might damage
not only the surface of the seat, but
also the heater element.
(3) If water or any other liquid is spilled on
the seat, allow it to dry thoroughly
before attempting to use the heater.Seat beltsEG28AAPe
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.
WARNING(1) Never wear the shoulder portion
of the seat belt under the arm or
other position which is incor-
rect.
(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.

INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS
4-19
Refer to “Electric remote-controlled out-
side rear-view mirrors” on page 5-38.
CAUTION(1) The demister switch is not for
melting snow but for cleaning
mist. Remove snow before us-
ing the demister switch.
(2) To avoid unnecessary battery
discharge, do not use the rear
window demister during starting
of the engine or when the engine
is not running. Turn the demist-
er off immediately after the win-
dow is clear.
(3) When cleaning the inside of the
rear window, use a soft cloth
and wipe gently along the heater
wires, being careful not to dam-
age the wires.
(4) Do not allow objects to touch
the inside of the rear window
glass, damaged or broken wires
may result.
Rear fog lamp switch*EE08B-Ma
The rear fog lamp can only be operated
when the headlamps turn on.
1 - Rear fog lamp on.
2 - Rear fog lamp off.
The indication lamp in the instrument clus-
ter will illuminate while the rear fog lamp is
on.NOTE
(1) The rear fog lamp is automatically
turned off when the headlamp is
turned off.
(2) In case of vehicles with Daytime Run-
ning Lamp, the front fog lamp can be
operated even if the lamp switch is set
to the “ ” (OFF) position, because
the low beam of the headlamps, tail
lamps, etc. illuminate when the igni-
tion key is at the “ON” position.
(3) The rear fog lamp is installed only on
the driver’s side.

STARTING AND DRIVING
5-39
WARNING
(1) Do not attempt to adjust the
rear-view mirror while driving.
This can be dangerous.
Be sure to adjust the mirrors be-
fore driving.
(2) The glass of the mirror is con-
vex. Objects you see in the mir-
ror will look smaller and farther
away compared to a normal flat
mirror.
Do not use this mirror to esti-
mate distance of following vehi-
cles when changing lanes.
NOTE
The outside mirror can be folded in toward
the side window to prevent damage when
parking in narrow areas.
Mirror heater*
With the rear window demister switch in
the “ON” position, the outside rear-view
mirrors are defogged or defrosted. Cur-
rent will flow through the heater elements
inside the mirrors, thus clearing away frost
or condensation. (for some models)
The indication lamp (A) will illuminate
while the demister is on.

FOR PLEASANT DRIVING
Handling of compact discsEH12E-Dc
(1) Use only the compact discs with the
mark shown in the illustration above.
(Playback of CD-R discs may cause
problems. CD-RW discs cannot be
played.) The use of heart-shaped, oc-
tagonal, or any other non-circular
discs will result in damage.
(2) When the temperature suddenly
rises, i.e. immediately after the heater
is turned on in cold weather, dew con-
densation on the disc or in the player
might occur resulting in failure of op-
eration. In such a case, allow some
time before use.
(3) When the CD player is subjected to
violent vibration as during off-road
driving, detracking may result.(7) Do not use a disc that is cracked or
badly warped. Doing so might cause
a malfunction of the disc player.
(8) Do not use a ballpoint pen, felt pen,
pencil, etc. to write on the label sur-
face of the disc, and do not attach any
other labels, seals, etc.
CD player laser warning
Use of controls or adjustments, or per-
formance of procedures other than
normal use, may result in hazardous
radiation exposure.
Avoid direct exposure to beam. (4) When storing compact discs, always
store them in their individual cases.
Never place compact discs in direct
sunlight, or in any place where the
temperature or humidity is high.
(5) Take care never to touch the flat sur-
face of the disc where there is no
label. Doing so will contaminate the
disc surface and might adversely
affect the sound quality. When han-
dling a compact disc, always hold it by
grasping the outer circumference and
the centre hole.
(6) To clean the disc, use a soft, clean,
dry cloth. Wipe directly from the cen-
tre hole toward the outer-edge, do not
wipe in a circular pattern.
Never use any substances such as
benzine, paint thinner, a disc spray
cleaner, or an anti-static agent on the
disc.
