known as wood alcohol) are being mar-
keted along with or instead of leaded orunleaded petrol. Do not use gasohol containing more than 10% ethanol, and do not use petrol or
gasohol containing any methanol. Either
of these fuels may cause drivability prob-lems and damage to the fuel system.
Discontinue using gasohol of any kind if
drivability problems occur.
Vehicle damage or driveability problems
may not be covered by the manufactur-
er’s warranty if they result from the useof:
1. Gasohol containing more than 10% ethanol.
2. Petrol or gasohol containing methanol.
3. Leaded fuel or leaded gasohol. A020104AEN-UK

taining MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl
Ether) over 15.0% vol. (Oxygen Content
2.7% weight) should not be used in your
vehicle.
Fuel containing MTBE over 15.0% vol.
(Oxygen Content 2.7% weight) may
reduce vehicle performance and produce
vapour lock or hard starting.
WARNING
Do not "top off" after the nozzle automatically shuts off when refuelling.
Always check that the fuel cap is installed securely to prevent fuel
spillage in the event of an acci-dent.
CAUTION
Never use gasohol which contains
methanol. Discontinue use of any
gasohol product which impairs dri- vability.

Safety features of your vehicle
WARNING- Driver’s seat
Never attempt to adjust the seat whilst the vehicle is moving. This
could result in loss of control,and an accident causing death,
serious injury, or property dam-
age.
Do not allow anything to interfere with the normal position of the
seatback. Storing items against a
seatback or in any other way
interfering with proper locking of
a seatback could result in serious
or fatal injury in a sudden stop orcollision.
seatback upright and the lap por-
tion of the seat belt snug and low
across the hips. This is the best
position to protect you in case ofan accident.
In order to avoid unnecessary and perhaps severe air bag
injuries, always sit as far back as
possible from the steering wheel
whilst maintaining comfortable
control of the vehicle. We recom-
mend that your chest be at least
10 inches (250 mm) away fromthe steering wheel.
WARNING - Uprighting seat
When you return the seatback to its
upright position, hold the seatback
and return it slowly and be surethere are no other occupants
around the seat. If the seatback isreturned without being held and
controlled, the back of the seat
could spring forward resulting in
accidental injury to a person struck
by the seatback.
WARNING - Loose objects
Loose objects in the driver’s foot
area could interfere with the opera-
tion of the foot pedals, possibly
causing an accident. Do not place
anything under the front seats.WARNING - Driver respon-
sibility for passengers
Riding in a vehicle with the seat-
back reclined could lead to serious
or fatal injury in an accident. If a
seat is reclined during an accident,
the occupant’s hips may slide
under the lap portion of the seat
belt applying great force to the
unprotected abdomen. Serious orfatal 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.

injury or death in the event of a
sudden stop or collision.
Luggage and other cargo should be laid flat in the cargo area. If
objects are large, heavy, or must
be piled, they must be secured.
Under no circumstances should
cargo be piled higher than the
seatbacks. Failure to follow thesewarnings could result in serious
injury or death in the event of a
sudden stop, collision or rollover.
No passenger should ride in the cargo area or sit or lie on folded
seatbacks whilst the vehicle is
moving. All passengers must be
properly seated in seats and
restrained properly whilst riding.

Head restraint
The driver's and front passenger's seats
are equipped with a head restraint for the
occupant's safety and comfort.
The head restraint not only provides
comfort for the driver and front passen-
ger, but also helps to protect the head
and neck in the event of a collision.
WARNING
For maximum effectiveness in case of an accident, the head restraint should be adjusted so
the middle of the head restraint isat the same height of the centre
of gravity of an occupant's head.
Generally, the centre of gravity ofmost people's head is similarwith the height of the top of their
eyes. Also, adjust the head
restraint as close to your head as
possible. For this reason, the use
of a cushion that holds the body
away from the seatback is notrecommended.
Do not operate the vehicle with the head restraints removed as
severe injury to the occupants
may occur in the event of an acci-
dent. Head restraints may provide
protection against neck injuries
when properly adjusted.
Do not adjust the head restraint position of the driver's seat
whilst the vehicle is in motion.
CAUTION
When cleaning the seats, do not
use an organic solvent such as
thinner, benzene, alcohol andpetrol. Doing so may damage thesurface of the heater or seats.
To prevent overheating the seat warmer, do not place blankets,
cushions or seat covers on the seats whilst the seat warmer is inoperation.
Do not place heavy or sharp objects on seats equipped withseat warmer. Damage to the seat warming components could occur.
WARNING - Seat warmer

Passengers should use extreme
caution when using seat warmers
due to the possibility of excess
heating or burns. In particular, the
driver must exercise extreme care
for the following types of passen-
gers:
1. Infants, children, elderly or hand- icapped persons, or hospital out- patients
2. Persons with sensitive skin or those that burn easily
3. Fatigued individuals
