However,

once the driver’s door or the front passen-
ger’s door is opened, the windows cannot be oper-
ated.
Safety mechanism (driver’s door win-
dow only) E00302500609
If a hand or head is trapped in the closing window,
it will lower automatically. Nonetheless, make sure that nobody puts their head
or

hand out of the window when closing the driv-
er’s door window.
The lowered window will become operational after
a few seconds. WARNING
l If
the safety mechanism is activated three
or more times successively, the safety
mechanism will be temporarily cancelled.
If a hand or head got trapped, a serious
injury could result. CAUTION
l
The
safety mechanism is cancelled just be-
fore the window is fully closed. This al-
lows the window to close completely.
Therefore be especially careful that no fin-
gers are trapped in the window.
l The safety mechanism is deactivated
while the switch is pulled up. Therefore
be especially careful that fingers are not
trapped in the door window opening.
NOTE l The

safety mechanism can be activated if the
driving conditions or other circumstances
cause the driver’s door window to be subjec-
ted to a physical shock similar to that caused
by a trapped hand or head. l
If
the safety mechanism is activated three or
more times in a row, the safety mechanism
will be cancelled and the door window will
not close correctly.
In such a case, the following procedure
should be implemented to rectify this situa-
tion. If the window is open, repeatedly raise
the driver’s door window switch until the win-
dow has been fully closed. Following this, re-
lease the switch, raise the switch once again
and hold it in this condition for at least 1 sec-
ond, then release it. You should now be able
to operate the driver’s door window in the nor-
mal fashion. Locking and unlocking

ning.
l Close the sunshade when parking the vehicle
for a long time. Parking in the hot sun with

Seat adjustment
E00400300271
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
l Do
not attempt to adjust the seat while
driving. This can cause loss of vehicle con-
trol and result in an accident. After ad-
justments are made, ensure the seating is
locked in position by attempting to move
the seat forward and rearward without us-
ing the adjusting mechanism.
l Do not let children or adults ride in areas
of the vehicle that are not equipped with
seats or seat belts. Also, make sure that
all occupants are sitting in their seats and
wearing their seat belts, and that children
are sitting in child restraints.
l To minimize the risk of personal injury
in the event of a collision or sudden brak-
ing, the seatbacks should always be in the
almost upright position while the vehicle
is in motion. The protection provided by
the seat belts may be reduced significant-
ly when the seatback is reclined. There is
greater risk that the passenger will slide
under the seat belt, resulting in serious in-
jury, when the seatback is reclined. CAUTION
l
Make
sure the seat is adjusted by an
adult or with adult supervision for cor-
rect and safe operation.
l Do not place a cushion or the like be-
tween your back and the seatback while
driving. The effectiveness of the head re-
straints will be reduced in the event of an
accident.
l When sliding the seat rearward, be care-
ful not to catch your hand or foot. Front seat

Heated seats*
E00401100960
The
heated seats can be operated with the ignition
switch or the operation mode in ON. The indica-
tion lamp (A) will illuminate while the heater is on. 1 (HI) - Heater high (for quick heating).
2 - Heater off.
3 (LO) - Heater low (to keep the seat warm).
CAUTION
l
Switch off seat heaters when not in use.
l Operate

in the high position for quick heat-
ing. Once the seat is warm, set the heater
to low to keep it warm. Slight variations
in seat temperature may be felt while us-
ing the heated seats. This is caused by the
operation of the heater’s internal thermo-
stat and does not indicate a malfunction.
l If the following types of persons use the
heated seats, they might become too hot CAUTION
or receive minor burns (red skin, heat blis-
ters, etc.):
•

Children, elderly or ill people
• People with sensitive skin
• Excessively tired people
• People under the influence of alcohol or sleep inducing medication (cold
medicine, etc.)
l Do not place heavy objects on the seat or
stick pins, needles, or other pointed ob-
jects into it.
l Do not use a blanket, cushion, or other ma-
terial with high heat insulation properties
on the seat while using the heater; this
might cause the heater element to overheat
l Do not use benzine, kerosene, petrol, alco-
hol or other organic solvents when clean-
ing the seats. Doing so could damage not
only the seat cover, but also the heater el-
ement.
l If water or any other liquid is spilled on
the seat, allow it to dry thoroughly before
attempting to use the heater.
l Turn the heater off immediately if it ap-
pears to be malfunctioning during use. Rear seat
E00401300294 WARNING
l When
a person sits in the rear seat, pull
up the head restraint to a height at which
it locks in position. Be sure to make this
adjustment before starting to drive. Seri-
ous injuries could otherwise be suffered
as the result of an impact. Refer to “Head
restraints” on page 2-07.
Armrest* E00401700650

down while pulling it forward to open the lid. Head restraints
E00403301439 WARNING
l Driving without the head restraints in
place can cause you and your passengers
serious injury or death in an accident. To
reduce the risk of injury in an accident, al-
ways make sure the head restraints are in-
stalled and properly positioned when the
seat is occupied.
l Never place a cushion or similar device
on the seatback. This can adversely affect
head restraint performance by increasing
the distance between your head and the
restraint.
To adjust height
Adjust
the head restraint height so that the centre
of the head restraint is as close as possible to eye
level to reduce the chances of injury in the event of
collision. Any person too tall for the head restraint
to reach their seated eye level, should adjust the re-
straint as high as possible. To raise the head restraint, move it upward. To low-
er

the restraint, move it downward while pushing
the height adjusting knob (A) in the direction of the
arrow. After adjustment, push the head restraint
downward and make sure that it is locked. To remove
