Making a luggage area
E00403400039WARNING
l If required, always operate the seating be-
fore the vehicle is in motion.
l After seat operations are made, ensure
the seating is locked in position by attempt-
ing to move the seat and seatback for-
ward and rearward without using the ad-
justing mechanism.
l The luggage compartment in the rear of
the vehicle should never be used as a play
area by children. Children should be seat-
ed with seat belts fastened when the vehi-
cle is in motion. Be sure that the rear seat-
backs are returned to their fully upright
position and locked in place. CAUTION
l
Do
not stack luggage above the seatback
height.
Secure the luggage firmly.
Otherwise, serious accidents could result
due to restricted rear vision or unrestrain-
ed objects entering the passenger compart-
ment during sudden braking.
l Make sure that the seat is operated by an
adult. If it is operated by a child, an unex-
pected accident might occur.
l When folding or storing the seat, be sure
not to catch your hand or leg. Stowing the third seat
E00404100020
The

third seat can be stowed under the floor to cre-
ate a luggage area.
NOTE
l Each side of the third seats can be stowed in-
dependently of the other.
To stow 1. Remove the head restraints from the thirdseats. (Refer to “Head restraints” on page
2-11.)
2. Fold the seatback forward and make sure it is securely retained against the seat cushion.
(Refer to “Folding the seatbacks forward” on
page 2-11.)
NOTE l The seatback cannot be retained if any object
is trapped between the seatback and seat cush-
ion.
l If the seatback is not retained against the seat
cushion when the seat is stowed, it may get
caught on the floor and prevent the seat from
being returned to its original position. 3. Pull the belt (A) on the back of the seat cush-
ion until it clicks. 4. Tip
the entire seat backward. Hold the han-
dle (B) on the back of the seat cushion and
lower the seat into the floor. Seat and seat belts

CAUTION
l
When stowing the seat, hold it with your
hands and lower it slowly. Unless you
hold the seat securely, it may suddenly tip
under its own weight, trapping your
hands.
l Do not pull the belt while a person is sit-
ting on the seat. The seat could tip back-
ward, resulting in an accident.
NOTE l The

removed third seat head restraints (C)
can be fitted together and stored in the cargo
net in the luggage area. (Refer to “Cargo net”
on page 5-45.) To return
1. Use
the handle (B) to lift the entire seat. Slow-
ly tip the seat forward, then push it until it
locks securely in position. 2. Pull
the belt (D) on the back of the seatback.
With the belt pulled, raise the seatback to its
original position. 3. After
raising the seatback to its original posi-
tion, push lightly on it to confirm that it has
been secured.
4. Install the head restraints. Making a flat seat
E00404300064
By

removing the head restraints and fully reclining
the seatbacks of the seats, one large flat seat is ach-
ieved. WARNING
l Never
drive with luggage or passengers
on the flat seat. This is highly dangerous.
In a collision, people or children riding un-
restrained 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 equip-
ped with seats and seat belts, and make
sure that everyone travelling in your vehi-
cle is in a seat and wearing a seat belt, or
in the case of a child is strapped in a child
restraint.
In the interest of their safety, children
should not be allowed to adjust the seats. CAUTION
l
To
make a flat seat, stop the vehicle in a
safe place.
l Make sure that the seat is adjusted by an
adult. If it is adjusted by a child, an unex-
pected accident might occur.
l When sliding the seat, be sure not to
catch your hand or leg.
l Do not walk around on top of the seats af-
ter they have been laid flat.
l To ensure the seats are locked securely, at-
tempt to move them back and forth. Seat and seat belts

WARNING
l No modifications or additions should be
made by the user which will either pre-
vent the seat belt adjusting devices from
operating to remove slack, or prevent the
seat belt assembly from being adjusted to
remove slack.
l To reduce risk of serious or fatal injury
in an accident, including the deploying
driver airbag, the driver should adjust
the driver’s seat to the rear most position
that still allows good visibility and good
control of the steering wheel, the brake
and accelerator, and vehicle controls.
l Never hold a child in your arms or on
your lap when riding in this vehicle, even
if you are wearing your seat belt. To do
so risks severe or fatal injury to your
child in a collision or sudden stop.
l Always adjust the belt to a snug fit. 3-point type seat belt (with emergency
locking mechanism)
E00404900754
This

type of belt requires no length adjustment.
Once worn, the belt adjusts itself to the movement
of the wearer, but in the event of a sudden or strong
shock, the belt automatically locks to hold the wear-
er’s body.
To fasten
1. Pull the seat belt out slowly while holdingthe latch plate.
NOTE l When the seat belts cannot be pulled out in a
locked condition, pull the belts once forceful-
ly and then return them. After that, pull the
belts out slowly once again.
2. Insert the latch plate into the buckle until a “click” is heard. WARNING
l Never
wear the lap portion of the belt
across your abdomen. During accidents it
can press sharply against the abdomen
and increase the risk of injury.
l The seat belts must not be twisted when
worn.
3. Pull
the belt slightly to adjust slackness as de- sired.
To unfasten
Hold the latch plate and push the button on the buck-
le. NOTE
l As

the belt retracts automatically, keep hold-
ing the latch plate while retracting so that the
belt stows slowly. Failure to do this could
damage the vehicle. Seat and seat belts

CAUTION
• The brake warning lamp
does not illuminate when
the parking brake is applied
or does not turn off when
the parking brake is re-
leased.
• The ABS warning lamp and brake warning lamp illumi-
nate at the same time.
For details, refer to “ABS
warning lamp” on page
4-21.
• The brake warning lamp re- mains illuminated during
driving.
l The vehicle should be brought
to a halt in the following man-
ner when brake performance
has deteriorated.
• Depress the brake pedalharder than usual.
Even if the brake pedal
moves down to the very end
of its possible stroke, keep it
pressed down hard.
• Should the brakes fail, use engine braking to reduce
your speed and carefully
pull the parking brake lever
to park your vehicle.
Depress the brake pedal to
operate the stop lamp
(brake lamp) to alert the ve-
hicles behind you. Check engine warning lamp
(petrol-powered vehicles)
E00502601351
This

lamp is a part of an onboard diag-
nostic system which monitors the emis-
sions, engine and automatic transmission
control systems.
If a problem is detected in one of these
systems, this lamp illuminates.
Although your vehicle will usually be
drivable and not need towing, we recom-
mend you to have the system checked as
soon as possible.
This lamp will also illuminate for a few
seconds when the ignition key is turned
to the “ON” position. If it does not go
off after a few seconds, we recommend
you to have the vehicle checked. CAUTION
l
Prolonged
driving with this
lamp on may cause further dam-
age to the emission control sys-
tem. It could also affect fuel
economy and drivability.
l If the lamp does not illuminate
when the ignition key is turned
to the “ON” position, we recom-
mend you to have the system
checked. CAUTION
l
If
the lamp illuminates while
the engine is running, avoid
driving at high speeds and we
recommend you to have the sys-
tem checked.
During vehicle operation with
the lamp illuminated, the vehi-
cle may not accelerate when
you depress the accelerator ped-
al.
When the vehicle is stationary
with the lamp illuminated, you
must depress the brake pedal
more firmly than usual since
the engine idling speed is high-
er than usual and the vehicle
with an A/T has a stronger ten-
dency to creep forward.
NOTE l The

engine electronic control mod-
ule accommodating the onboard di-
agnostic system has various fault
data (especially about the exhaust
emission) stored.
This data will be erased if a bat-
tery cable is disconnected which
will make a rapid diagnosis diffi-
cult. Do not disconnect a battery
cable when the check engine warn-
ing lamp is ON. Instruments and controls
