WARNING-Driver respon-
sibility for front seat pas-
senger
Riding in a vehicle with a front seat-
back reclined could lead to serious
or fatal injury in an accident. If a
front seat is reclined during an acci-
dent, the occupant’s hips may slide
under the lap portion of the safety
belt applying great force to the
unprotected abdomen. Serious or
fatal internal injuries could result.
The driver must advise the front
passenger to keep the seatback in
an upright position whenever the
vehicle is in motion.

WARNING
The power seats are operable with
the ignition OFF.
Therefore, children should never be
left unattended in the car.
CAUTION
• Power seats are driven by an
electric motor. Stop operating
once the adjustment is complet-
ed. Excessive operation may
damage the electrical equipment.
• When in operation, the power
seats consume large amounts of
electrical power. To prevent unnec-
essary charging system drain,
don’t adjust the power seats
longer than necessary while the
engine is not running.
• Do not operate two or more power
seat control buttons at the same
time. Doing so may result in
power seat motor or electrical

Seat cushion height
Push the front portion (1) of the control
knob up to raise or down to lower the
front part of the seat cushion. Push the
rear portion (2) of the control knob up to
raise or down to lower the rear part of the
seat cushion. Release the knob once the
seat reaches to the desired position.
Headrest (front)
The headrest not only provides comfort
for the driver and front passenger, but
also helps to protect the head and neck
in the event of a collision.
For best protection, adjust the headrest
so its center is as high as your ears. Also
adjust the headrest so its distance from
the head is as wide as your fist.
Active headrest (if equipped)
The active headrest is designed to move
forward and upward during a rear impact.
This helps to prevent the driver's and
front passenger’s head from moving
backward and thus helps prevent neck
injuries.Forward and backward adjustment
(if equipped)
The headrest may be adjusted forward to
three different positions by pulling the
headrest forward. To adjust the headrest
backward, pull it fully forward to the far-
thest position and release it. Adjust the
headrest so that it properly supports the
head and neck.

NOTICE
The pre-tensioner seat belt is installed at
the front seats, and the sensor is
equipped inside the buckle, where pres-
ence of passenger is sensed by the fas-
tening of the seat belts. Therefore, pre-
tensioner will not activate if the passen-
ger is not fastened with the seat belts.
Likewise, it will activate if buckled even
without a passenger in the seat. Pre-ten-
sioner seat belt is designed to activate
when the seatbelt is in use. To ensure the
pretensioner seatbelts activate in event
of a possible seatbelt buckle switch mal-
function, the system is designed to acti-
vate regardless of whether a seat belt is
in use or if no seat belt use is detected
within 6 seconds of turning the ignition
switch ON.
The seat belt pre-tensioner system con-
sists mainly of the following components.
Their locations are shown in the illustra-
tion.
(1) SRS air bag warning light
(2) Seatbelt pre-tensioner assembly
(3) SRS air bag control module
WARNING- Safety belt
adjustment
To obtain maximum benefit from a
pre-tensioner seat belt:
• The safety belt must be worn cor-
rectly.
• The safety belt must be adjusted
to the correct position.

Rearview mirror
Adjust the rearview mirror to center on
the view through the rear window. Make
this adjustment before you start driving.
Manual type (if equipped)
Make this adjustment before you start
driving and while the day/night lever is in
the day position.
Pull the day/night lever toward you to
reduce glare from the headlights of vehi-
cles behind you during night driving.
Remember that you lose some rearview
clarity in the night position.Electric type (if equipped)
The electric rearview mirror automatical-
ly controls the glare from the headlights
of the car behind you in nighttime or low
light driving conditions. The sensor
mounted in the mirror senses the light
level around the vehicle, and through a
chemical reaction, automatically controls
the headlight glare from vehicles behind
you.
When the engine is running, the glare is
automatically controlled by the sensor
mounted in the rearview mirror.
Whenever the shift lever is shifted into
reverse (R), the mirror will automatically
go to the brightest setting in order to
improve the drivers view behind the vehi-
cle.
WARNING - Rear visibility
Do not place objects in the rear seat
or cargo area which would interfere
with your vision out the rear win-
dow.

not spray glass cleaner directly on
the mirror as that may cause the liq-
uid cleaner to enter the mirror hous-
ing.
