“2”), turn the ignition key to the ON
and ACC position twice. Perform the
same procedure for the next digits
between 3 seconds and 10 seconds
(for example, for “3”, turn the ignition
ON and ACC 3 times).4. If all of the digits have been input
successfully, you have to start the
engine within 10 seconds. If you
attempt to start the engine after 10

WARNING - Drivers
 Never adjust the driver’s seat
or seatback when the vehicle
is moving. Doing so could
cause loss of control, and
serious personal injury or
death.
 Do not allow packages or
other objects to interfere with
the normal position of a
seatback. These objects may
prevent the seatback from
locking, which could result in
serious injury or death in the
event of a sudden stop or
collision.
 Always drive and ride with
your seatback upright and
the lap portion of the safety
belt snug and low across the
hips.
 Children can be killed or
injured by the passenger air
bag. The back seat is the
safest place for children 12
and under. Make sure all
children use seat belts or
child seats.

CAUTION
Do not place anything under the
front seats. Loose objects might
interfere with the seat slide
mechanism or possibly roll out
from under the seat and interfere
with the operation of the brake,
clutch or accelerator foot pedals.
WARNING - Passengers
To reduce the risk of sliding
under the lap portion of the
lap/shoulder belt, and potentially
suffering serious personal injury
or death in the event of a
collision, do not use the front
seatback in a reclined position
while the vehicle is in motion. If a
seat is reclined, the occupant’s
hip could slide under or out of
the lap portion of the
lap/shoulder belt during a
collision. If that occurs, the
occupant may no longer be
properly restrained, and the
safety belt could apply restraint
forces to the unprotected
abdomen resulting in serious
personal injury or death.
Therefore, keep the seatbacks in
a comfortably upright position
whenever the vehicle is in
motion.
