Front passenger seat
CAUTION
The SRS front passenger airbag
also deploys with considerable
force, and can cause death or seri-
ous injury especially if the front
passenger is very close to the air-
bag. The front passenger seat
should be as far from the airbag as
possible with the seatback adjusted,
so the front passenger sits upright.
Do not use seat accessory, such as
a cushion or seat cover, that covers
the front seat, or do not modify or
replace the upholstery of the front
seat. Such accessories or changes
may prevent the front passenger
airbag system from activating cor-
rectly, disable the system or cause
the front passenger airbag to inflate
accidentally, resulting in death or
serious injury.
Front seats
CAUTION
The SRS side airbags are installed in
the driver and front passenger seats.
Observe the following precautions.
Do not lean against the front door
when the vehicle is in use, since
the side airbag inflates with consid-
erable speed and force. Otherwise,
you may be killed or seriously in-
jured.
Do not use seat accessories which
cover the area where the side air-
bags inflate. Such accessories may
prevent the side airbags from acti-
vating correctly, causing death or
serious injury.
Do not modify or replace the seats
or upholstery of the seats with side
airbags. Such change may prevent
the side airbag system from activat-
ing correctly, disable the system or
cause the side airbags to inflate ac-
cidentally, resulting in death or seri-
ous injury.
CAUTION
Do not adjust the seat while the
vehicle is moving as the seat may
unexpectedly move and cause the
driver to lose control of the vehicle.
Be careful that the seat does not
hit a passenger, luggage or rear
seat.
After adjusting the seat position, re-
lease the lever and try sliding the
seat forward and backward to make
sure it is locked in position.
After adjusting the seatback, push
your body back against the seat to
make sure the seat is locked in
position.
Do not put objects under the seats.
Otherwise, the objects may interfere
with the seat lock mechanism or
unexpectedly push up the seat posi-
tion adjusting lever and the seat
may suddenly move, causing the
driver to lose control of the vehicle.
