WARNING
All seatbacks should always be in an
upright position when driving, or seat
belt effectiveness may be reduced.
Seat belts are designed to offer maxi-
mum protection when seatbacks are
in the upright position.
WARNING

seat or seatback while driving. The
seat or seatback could move unex-
pectedly, causing loss of control.
Make sure that the driver’s seat and
seatback are properly adjusted
before you start driving.
WARNING
To avoid excessive seat belt slack,
which reduces the effectiveness of
the seat belts as a safety device,
make sure that the seats are adjusted
before the seat belts are fastened.
CAUTION
Do not place any object under the
seat. The object may cause damage
to the seat if caught under it.

rized position, the system stops the pro-
cess.

Your vehicle is equipped with three head
restraints on the rear seat.
WARNING
Improperly using the seat heater can
be hazardous. An occupant can suf-
fer burns even if the heating tempera-
ture is fairly low, if the occupant is
wearing thin pants, a thin skirt or
shorts and leaves the heater on for
long periods.

occupants:
 People who have reduced feeling in
their legs, including the elderly or
those with certain disabilities.
 Small children, or anyone with sen-
sitive skin.
 People who are asleep or under the
influence of alcohol or other drugs
which make them tired.
CAUTION
To avoid damaging the heater ele-
ment:
 Do not subject the front seats to
heavy impacts, such as children
jumping on them.
 Do not cover the seat with any
insulating materials such as blan-
kets or cushions.
WARNING
All occupants, including the driver,
should not operate a vehicle or sit in
a vehicle’s seat until the head
restraints are placed in their proper
positions in order to minimize the
risk of severe injury in the event of a
crash.

To reinstall the head restraints, do the fol-
lowing:
For the left and right seating places, insert
the head restraint while still in its forward-
tipped position (do not face the backside
forward) into the seatback until it locks.
Then tilt it back to the normal position. The
height of the reinstalled head restraints
must be adjusted properly before use.
NOTE:
It is recommended to tilt the head
restraints forward to have a better rearward
view.Central seating place
57L30061
When there is a passenger in the central
seating place, pull up the head restraint by
hand and make sure it is securely locked
before starting to drive.
57L30060
When there is no occupant in the central
seating place, push down the head
restraint fully while holding the release
knob (1) pressed.
When the head restraints must be
removed, use the following methods:
Pull the head restraint up and out of the
seat while holding the release knob
pressed.

restraints unfixed in the cabin. They
may hit against you and passengers
in the event of hard braking or other
similar instances, increasing the risk
of an accident.
WARNING
Always check that the head restraint
is firmly in position after installing it.
Avoid installing it with the backside
facing forward. A wrongly facing
head restraint does not provide the
intended protection, and also its
height cannot be adjusted.
WARNING
Do not allow anyone to sit in the cen-
ter seating place with the head
restraint removed or in the stowed
position.
WARNING

WARNING
An air bag supplements, or adds to,
the frontal crash protection offered
by seat belts. The driver and all pas-
sengers must be properly restrained
by wearing seat belts at all times,
whether or not an air bag is mounted
at their seating position, to minimize
the risk of severe injury or death in
the event of a crash.
WARNING
 Never allow persons to ride in the
cargo area of a vehicle. In the event
of an accident, there is a much
greater risk of injury for persons
who are not riding in a seat with
their seat belt securely fastened.
 Seat belts should always be
adjusted as follows:
– the lap portion of the belt should
be worn low across the pelvis,
not across the waist.
– the shoulder straps should be
worn on the outside shoulder
only, and never under the arm.
– the shoulder straps should be
away from your face and neck,
but not falling off your shoulder.
