Front seat adjustment
The front seat can be adjusted by
using the control switch located on
the doors. Before driving, adjust theseat to the proper position so as to
easily control the steering wheel,
pedals and switches on the instru-ment panel.
WARNING
The power seat is operable with
the engine start/stop button in
OFF.
Therefore, children should
never be left unattended in the
vehicle.
WARNING
Do not adjust the seat while wearing seat belts. Moving the
seat cushion forward may
cause strong pressure on theabdomen.
Use extreme caution so that hands or other objects are not
caught in the seat mechanisms
while the seat is moving.
Do not put a cigarette lighter on the floor or seat. When you
operate the seat, gas maygush out of the lighter and
cause fire.
If there are occupants in the rear seats, be careful while
adjusting the front seat posi-tion.(Continued)
Do not allow anything to inter-fere with the normal position of
the seatback. Storing items
against a seatback or in any
other way interfering with prop-
er locking of a seatback could
result in serious or fatal injury
in a sudden stop or collision.
Always drive and ride with your seatback upright and the lap
portion of the seat belt snug
and low across the hips. This
is the best position to protect
you in case of an accident.
In order to avoid unnecessary and perhaps severe air bag
injuries, always sit as far back
as possible from the steeringwheel while maintaining com-
fortable control of the vehicle.
We recommend that your chest
be at least 250 mm (10 inches)
away from the steering wheel.

Recalling positions from memory
1. Shift the shift lever into P while the
engine start/stop button is ON.
2. To recall the position in memory, press the desired memory button
(1 or 2). The system will beep
once, then the driver seat, outside
rearview mirror and steeringwheel will automatically adjust to
the stored positions.
Adjusting one of the control knobs for
the driver seat, outside rearview mir-
ror and steering wheel while the sys-tem is recalling the stored positions
will cause the movement for that
component to stop and move in thedirection that the control knob is
moved. Other components will con-
tinue to the recalled position.Easy access function
The steering wheel will move away
from the driver and the seat will
move rearward, when the engine
start/stop button is turned to the OFF
position and front driver’s door isopened.
The steering wheel will move toward
the driver and the seat will move for-
ward, when the engine start/stop but-
ton is turned to the ACC position or
when you insert the smart key into
the smart key holder with the shift
lever in the P position.
✽✽ NOTICE

easy access function in the instru-
ment cluster.

Headrest-front
The driver's and front passenger's seats are equipped with a headrest
for the occupant's safety and com-
for t.
The headrest not only provides com-
fort for the driver and front passen-
ger, but also helps to protect the
head and neck in the event of a colli-sion.
WARNING
Use caution when recalling
adjustment memory while sit-
ting in the vehicle. Push the seat
position control knob to the
desired position immediately if
the seat moves too far in anydirection.

Forward and backward adjustment
The headrest may be adjusted for-
ward or backward by pulling the
lower part of the headrest forward or
backward to the desired detent in the
direction of the arrow. Adjust the
headrest so that it properly supports
the head and neck.
WARNING
For maximum effectiveness in case of an accident, the head- rest should be adjusted so the
middle of the headrest is atthe same height as the center
of gravity of an occupant's
head. Generally, the center of
gravity of most people's headis similar with the height of
the top of their eyes. Also,
adjust the headrest as close
to your head as possible. For
this reason, the use of a cush-
ion that holds the body away
from the seatback is not rec-ommended.
Do not operate the vehicle with the headrests removed
as severe injury to the occu-
pants may occur in the event
of an accident. Headrests may
provide protection against
neck injuries when properlyadjusted.
Do not adjust the headrest position of the driver's seat
while the vehicle is in motion.WARNING
Do not place or attach the accessories or other things
near the headrest. When the
vehicle stops suddenly or in
certain collisions, they could
come loose and injure vehicleoccupants.

Height adjustment (front seat)
You can adjust the height of the shoul- der belt anchor to one of 4 positions
for maximum comfort and safety. The height of the adjusting seat belt
should not be too near your neck. The

Failure to replace seat belts after an accident could leave
you with damaged seat belts
that will not provide protec-
tion in the event of another
collision leading to personal
injury or death. Replace yourseat belts after being in an
accident as soon as possible.

Inside rearview mirror
Adjust the rearview mirror to center
on the view through the rear window.
Make this adjustment before you
start driving.Electric chromic mirror (ECM)
The electric chromic mirror automati- cally controls the glare from the head-
lights of the car behind you in night-
time or low light driving conditions. Thesensor mounted in the mirror senses
the light level around the vehicle, andautomatically controls the headlight
glare from vehicles behind you.
When the engine is running, the
glare is automatically controlled by
the sensor mounted in the rearview
mirror. Whenever the shift lever is shifted
into R (Reverse), the mirror will auto-
matically go to the brightest setting in
order to improve the drivers view
behind the vehicle.
MIRRORS
CAUTION
When cleaning the mirror, use a
paper towel or similar materialdampened with glass cleaner. Do not spray glass cleanerdirectly on the mirror as thatmay cause the liquid cleaner toenter the mirror housing.WARNING - Rear visibility
Do not place objects in the rear
seat or cargo area which would
interfere with your vision
through the rear window.
WARNING
Do not modify the inside mirror
and don’t install a wide mirror. It
could result in injury, during an
accident or deployment of the
