N00419500047
The third row seat can be used for two additional passengers.
When the third row seat is not in use, it can be stowed under
the floor to provide more cargo area.
When using the third row seat, be sure the head restraint is
properly positioned. Refer to page 2-20.
WA R N I N G
!

The third row seats are intended for use by no more
than two belted occupants, each of which does not
exceed 160 cm (63 inches) in height.
Exceeding these limitations can result in an
increased risk of personal injury or death in the
event of an accident.


The third row seats are not intended for use by
infants and small children who must use rear facing
or forward facing child safety seats.


Third row seat operation should always be made
before driving. Operating the seat while driving
could cause the seat to move more than necessary
and result in a serious injury or death.


Before using, check that the third row seat is firmly
secured. If not secured, the third row seat could
move and cause a serious injury or death in an acci-
dent.


The third row seat should not be used when the sec-
ond row seats are folded forward. Third row seat
passengers can suffer a serious or fatal injury if the
second row seats fell backward in a collision or when
heavy breaking is applied.


For vehicles equipped with the cargo area cover,
when the third row seat is in use, always remove the
cargo area cover to avoid serious injury or death in
the event of an accident.
Refer to “Cargo area cover”, page 3-291.CAUTION
!

The third row seat should be adjusted only by an
adult. If it is adjusted by a child, an unexpected acci-
dent might occur.


When adjusting the third row seat, keep your hands
and feet away from moving parts and the space
below the seat.


Be careful not to touch the exhaust pipe, because it
will remain hot for some time after the engine is
stopped.WA R N I N G

Adjustment of the head restraint height (The
front and second row seats)To reduce the risk of injury in an accident, adjust the head

level when seated. Any person too tall for the restraint to reach
their eye level when seated should raise the restraint to the
highest locked position.

To raise the restraint, pull it straight up.


To lower the restraint, push down on it while pressing the
lock knob (A) in the direction shown by the arrow.


After adjusting the height, push down on the restraint to
make sure it is locked in position.
To remove (The front and second row seats)Press the lock knob (A) in the direction shown by the arrows.
Then pull the head restraint up and out of the seatback.To install (The front and second row seats)First check that the head restraint is facing in the right direction
as shown in the previous illustration, and then insert it into the
seatback. Push the head restraint down while pressing the lock
knob (A) until the restraint locks into place.

Seat belt extender
N00406700191
When your seat belt, even fully extended, is not long enough, a
seat belt extender must be obtained. The extender may be used
for either of the front seats.
Seat belt use during pregnancy
N00406800134
Seat belts work for everyone, including pregnant women. Like
all occupants, pregnant women are more likely to be seriously
injured or killed in an accident if they do not wear seat belts.
WA R N I N G
!

The extender should only be used if the existing belt
is not long enough. Anyone who can use the stan-
dard seat belt should not use an extender. Unneces-
sary use of an extender can adversely affect seat belt
performance in an accident.


When not required, the extender must be removed
and stowed.
WA R N I N G
!

To reduce the risk of serious injury or death to preg-
nant women and unborn children in an accident,
pregnant women should always wear a seat belt. The
lap portion of the seat belt should be worn snug and
low across the hips and below the rounding. Consult
your doctor if you have any additional questions or
concerns.

Upholstery
N00945500128
1. To maintain the value of your new vehicle, maintain the
upholstery carefully and keep the interior clean.
Use a vacuum cleaner and brush to clean the seats. If
stained, vinyl and synthetic leather should be cleaned with
an appropriate cleaner. Cloth fabrics can be cleaned with
either upholstery cleaner or a 3% solution of gentle soap
in lukewarm water.
2. Clean the carpeting with a vacuum cleaner and remove
any stains with carpet cleaner. Oil and grease can be
removed by lightly dabbing with a clean white cloth and
spot remover.NOTE

If fuzzing is difficult to remove from the seat upholstery,
draw a suitable defuzzing brush over the surface in one
direction.
Genuine leather (if so equipped)
N00945600187
1. To clean, lightly wipe the leather with a soft cloth soaked
in a 5% solution of gentle soap and water.
2. To rinse, dip the cloth in fresh water, wring it out well, and
wipe off all the soap.
3. To preserve and protect, use a leather protecting agent on
the genuine leather surface.NOTE

If genuine leather is wet with water, wipe it with a dry,
soft cloth. If left damp, mildew may grow.


The genuine leather surface can be damaged if brushed
with a nylon or synthetic fiber brush.


Organic solvents such as benzine, kerosene, alcohol, gaso-
line, or acid or alkaline solvents can discolor the genuine
leather surface and should not be used.


Genuine leather can mildew if not kept clean. Clean up
any oil stains immediately.


The genuine leather surface may harden and shrink if it is
exposed to the direct sunlight for long hours. When your
vehicle is parked, place it in the shade as much as possi-
ble.


When the temperature of the vehicle interior rises in sum-
mer, vinyl products left on the genuine leather seat may
deteriorate and stick to the seat.
