Adjusting the Seats Adjusting the Seat Position
Maintain a Proper Sitting Position
■
After all occupants have adjusted their seats, and put on their seat belts, it is very important that they continue to sit upright, well back in their seats, with their feet on the floor, until the vehicle is safely parked and the engine is off. Sitting improperly can increase the chance of injury during a crash. For example, if an occupant slouches, lies down, turns sideways, sits forward, leans forward or sideways, or puts one or both feet up, the chance of injury during a crash is greatly increased. In addition, an occupant who is out of position in the seat can be seriously or fatally injured in a crash by striking interior parts of the vehicle or being struck by an inflating front airbag.
Active Head Restraints
■
The driver’s and passenger’s seats have active head restraints. In a rear impact, an occupant properly secured by a seat belt will be pushed against the seat-back and the head restraint will move forward. This reduces the distance between the restraint and the occupant’s head. It also helps protect the occupants against the likelihood of whiplash and injuries to the neck and upper spine.
Maintain a Proper Sitting Position
WARNING
Sitting improperly or out of position can result in serious injury or death in a crash. Always sit upright, well back in the seat, with your feet on the floor.
Active Head Restraints
In order for the active head restraint to operate properly: Do not hang any items on the head restraints, or
•
from the restraint legs.Do not place any objects between an occupant
•
and the seat-back.
After a collision, the activated restraint should
return to its normal position. If the restraints do not
return to their normal position, or in the event of a severe collision, have the vehicle inspected by a dealer.

conditions.
Recirculation Mode (indicator on): Recirculates air from the v ehicle’s interior through
the system.Fresh Air Mode (indicator off): Maintains outside ventilation. Keep the system in fresh air mode in normal situations.
Using Automatic Climate Control
If any buttons are pressed while using the climate control system in AUTO, the function of the button that was pressed will take priority.The AUTO indicator will go off, but functions unrelated to the button that was pressed will be controlled automatically. During the auto idle stop, the air conditioning system will be turned off.If the ECON mode is selected, the fan may also be turned off. To prevent cold air from blowing in from outside, the fan may not start immediately when the AUTO button is pressed. Once you have set the desired temperature, do not use the temperature control dial more than necessary.Doing so may delay the time it takes to reach the set temperature. If the interior is very warm, you can cool it down more rapidly by partially opening the windows, turning the system on AUTO, and setting the temperature to low. When you set the temperature to the lower or upper limit, Lo or Hi is displayed. Pressing the
button switches the climate
control system between on and off. The system selects your last selection.
