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 passengers to sit on
top of a foldeddown seatback, or
in the luggage compartment or car-
go area. Persons not properly
seated and/or not properly re-
strained by seat belts can be se-
verely injured 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,
severe 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 50 – 75 mm (2 – 3 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.

SEATBACK ANGLE ADJUSTING LEVER
Lean forward and pull the lever toward
you. Then lean back to the desired
angle and release the lever.
CAUTION
Avoid reclining the seatback any
more than needed. The seat belts
provide maximum protection in a
frontal or rear collision when the
second seat passengers are sitting
up straight and well back in the
seats. If you are reclined, the lap
belt may slide past your hips and
apply restraint forces directly to the
abdomen or your neck may contact
the shoulder belt. In the event of a
frontal collision, the more the seat
is reclined, the greater the risk of
death or personal injury.
Do not adjust the seat while the
vehicle is moving.
After adjusting the seatback, push
your body back against the seat to
make sure the seat is locked in
position.
For easy access to the third seat:
1. Lower the head restraint to the low- est position.
2. Push the seatback angle adjusting lever and pull the seat cushion lock
release lever or pull the strap.
After passengers are in, return the seat
until it locks.

CAUTION
After returning the seat, make sure
the seat is securely locked by push-
ing forward and rearward on the top
of the seatback and by trying to pull
up the edge of the bottom cushion.
—Tumbling second seat
I13378b
BEFORE TUMBLING SECOND SEAT1. Stow the second seat belt buckles as shown in the illustration.

2. Make sure the shoulder belt passes through the hanger when folding the
second seat.
This prevents the shoulder belt from being
damaged.
CAUTION
The seat belt must be removed from
the hanger when the seat belt is in
use.

—Adjusting third seats
SEATBACK ANGLE ADJUSTING LEVER
Lean forward and pull the lever toward
you. Then lean back to the desired
angle and release the lever.
CAUTION
Avoid reclining the seatback any
more than needed. The seat belts
provide maximum protection in a
frontal or rear collision when the
third seat passengers are sitting up
straight and well back in the seats.
If you are reclined, the lap belt may
slide past your hips and apply re-
straint forces directly to the abdo-
men or your neck may contact the
shoulder belt. In the event of a
frontal collision, the more the seat
is reclined, the greater the risk of
death or personal injury.
Do not adjust the seat while the
vehicle is moving.
After adjusting the seatback, push
your body back against the seat to
make sure the seat is locked in
position.
—Tumbling third seats
I13377b
BEFORE TUMBLING THIRD SEAT1. Stow the third seat belt and buckles as shown in the illustration.
This prevents the seat belt and buckles
from falling out when you tumble the third
seat.
NOTICE
The seat belt and buckles must be
stowed before you tumble the third
seat.

47
CAUTION
When returning seats to their original
position, observe the following pre-
cautions in order to prevent personal
injury in a collision or sudden stop:
Make sure the seat is securely
locked by pushing forward and rear-
ward on the top of the seatback
and by trying to pull up the edge
of the bottom cushion. Be certain
to replace head restraint. Failure to
do so will prevent seat belt from
operating properly.
Make sure the seat belts are not
twisted or caught under the seat
and are arranged in their proper
position and are ready to use.
—Removing third seats
After tumbling the third seat, open the
cover, hold the whole seat and pull it
up while pulling the handle toward you.
Removing the third seat will enlarge the
luggage compartment. See “Cargo and
luggage” on page 257 for precautions
when loading luggage.Remove the seat hook covers from the
back of the seat cushion, and install
them over the seat hooks.
CAUTION
Be sure to apply the covers on the
seat hooks, or you may get burned
when they become hot.
When returning the third seat to its origi-
nal position, remove the seat hook covers
from the floor and install them in the back
of the seat cushion.

Pushing the “AUTO” button for longer
than 3 seconds turns on or off the
compass display.
The compass may not show the correct
direction in the following conditions:
The vehicle is stopped immediately af-
ter turning. The compass does not ad-
just while the vehicle is stopped.
The ignition switch is turned off imme-
diately after turning.
The vehicle is on an inclined surface.
The vehicle is in a place where the
earth’s magnetic field is subject to in-
terference by artificial magnetic fields
(underground parking, under a steel
tower, between buildings, roof parking,
near a crossing, near a large vehicle,
etc.).
The vehicle is magnetized. (There is a
magnet or a metal object on or near
the inside rear view mirror.)
The battery has been disconnected.
Any door is open.
If the deviation is small, the compass
works to calibrate the direction automati-
cally while the vehicle is in motion.
For obtaining additional precision or for
complete calibrating, see “Calibrating the
compass” below.
NOTICE
Do not put magnets or a metal object
near the inside rear view mirror. Do-
ing this may cause malfunction of the
compass sensor.
CALIBRATING THE COMPASS
(deviation calibration)
The direction display on the compass
deviates from the true direction deter-
mined by the earth’s magnetic field, The
amount of deviation varies according to
the geographic position of the vehicle.
To adjust for this deviation, stop the ve-
hicle and push the button for longer than
about 6 seconds until the number (1 −15)
appears on the display. Then push the
button again, referring to the following
map to select the number of the zone
where the vehicle is.
