Seat adjustment
E00400300314
Adjust the driver’s seat so th
at you are comfortable and that
you can reach the pedals, steer
ing 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 adjustment
s are made, ensure the
seating is locked in positi
on by attempting to move
the seat forward and rearward without using theadjusting mechanism.
●
Do not allow people or children to ride in any area of your vehicle that is not equipped with seats and seatbelts, and make sure th
at everyone travelling in
your vehicle is in a seat and wearing a seat belt, or in the case of a child is stra
pped in a child restraint.
●
To minimize the risk of pers
onal injury in the event
of a collision or sudden braking, the seatbacks should always be in th
e 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 riskthat the passenger will slide under the seat belt, resulting in serious inju
ry, when the seatback is
reclined.
CAUTION
!●
Make sure the seat is adju
sted by an adult or with
adult supervision for corr
ect 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 anaccident.
●

●
Operate in the high positi
on for quick heating. Once
the seat is warm, set the
heater to low to keep it
warm. Slight variations in
seat temperature may be
felt while using the heated
seats. This is caused by
the operation of the heater’s
internal thermostat and

t or receive minor burns
(red skin, heat blisters, etc.):• Children, elderly or ill people • People with sensitive skin • Excessively tired people • People under the influe
nce of alcohol or sleep
inducing medication (cold medicine, etc.)

Do not place heavy objects on the seat or stick pins, needles, or other poin
ted objects into it.
●
Do not use a blanket, cushio
n, or other material with
high heat insulation prop
erties on the seat while
using the heater; this migh
t cause the heater element
to overheat.
●
When cleaning the seat,
do not use benzene, gaso-
line, alcohol, or other organic solvents; this might damage the surface of the
seat and also the heater
element.
●
If water or any other liquid

To protect you and your passengers
in the event of an accident,
it is most important that the seat
belts be worn correctly while
driving.The front seat belts have a pr

are used the same way as a conventional seat belt. Refer to “Seat belt pre-tensione
r system and force limiter sys-
tem” on page 2-43.
3-door models 5-door models
WARNING
!●
Always place the should
er belt over your shoulder
and across your chest. Never put it behind you or under your arm.
●
One seat belt should be used by only one person. Doing otherwise can be dangerous.
●
The seat belt will provid
e its wearer with maximum
protection if the recliner seat
back is placed in fully
upright position. When th
e seatback is reclined,
there is greater risk that
the passenger will slide
under the belt, especially
in a forward impact acci-
dent, and may be injured by the belt or by striking the instrument panel or seatbacks.
●
Seat belts should always be
worn by every adult who
drives or rides in this ve
hicle, and by all children
who are large enough to wear seat belts properly. Other children should always use proper childrestraint systems.
●
Remove any twists when using the belt.
