Timer function E00302400712
The door windows can be opened or closed for 30
seconds after the
ignition switch is turned from the
“ON” position to the “ACC” or “LOCK” position.
If the driver’s door is opened during this period,
the door window can be opened or closed for anoth-
er 30 seconds.
However, once the driver’s door is closed, the win-
dows cannot be operated.
Safety mechanism E00302500218
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 a 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.
NOTE l The
safety mechanism
can be activated if the
driving conditions or other circumstances
cause the door windows to be subjected to a
physical shock similar to that caused by a trap-
ped 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 appropriate window switch until that 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 all windows in the normal fashion. Locking and unlocking

Seat adjustment
E00400300314
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 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.
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 seats, be careful not to
catch your hand or foot. Front seats

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 When cleaning the seat, do not use ben-
zene, kerosene, petrol, alcohol, or other or-
ganic solvents; these might damage the
surface of the seat and also the heater ele-
ment.
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 seats (3-door models)*/

l When a
person
is sitting in the middle seat-
ing position of the rear seats (3-door mod-
els)/second seats (5-door models), pull up
the head restraint to a height at which it
locks in position. Be sure to make this ad-
justment before starting to drive. Serious
injuries could otherwise be suffered as
the result of an impact. Refer to “Head re-
