of the window when closing a window.
The lowered window will become operational after a few sec-
onds.

!●If the safety mechanism is activated three or more
times successively, the safety mechanism will be tem-
porarily cancelled.

ditions or other circumstances cause the door windows to
be subjected to a physical shock similar to that caused by
a trapped hand or head.

door window will not close correctly.
In such a case, the following procedure should be imple-
mented to rectify this situation. If the window is open,
repeatedly raise the appropriate window switch until that
window has been fully closed. Following this, release the
switch, raise the switch once again and hold it in this con-
dition for at least one second, then release it. You should

2 Seat adjustment
E00400300402
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
!●Do not attempt to adjust the seat while driving. This
can cause loss of vehicle control and result in an
accident. After adjustments are made, ensure the
seating is locked in position by attempting to move
the seat forward and rearward without using the
adjusting mechanism.●It is extremely dangerous to ride in the luggage area
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 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.
●To minimize the risk of personal injury in the event
of a collision or sudden braking, the seatbacks
should always be in the almost upright position
while the vehicle is in motion. The protection pro-
vided by the seat belts may be reduced significantly
when the seatback is reclined. There is greater risk
that the passenger will slide under the seat belt,
resulting in serious injury, when the seatback is
reclined.
CAUTION
!●Make sure the seat is adjusted by an adult or with
adult supervision for correct and safe operation.●Do not place a cushion or the like between your back
and the seatback while driving. The effectiveness of
the head restraints will be reduced in the event of an
accident.●When sliding the seats, be careful not to catch your
hand or foot.●When sliding or reclining the seat rearward, pay
careful attention to the rear seat passengers.
