Safety features of your vehicle
WARNING - Uprightingseat
When you return the seatback
to its upright position, hold the
seatback and return it slowly
and be sure there are no other
passengers around the seat. If
the seatback is returned with-
out being held and controlled,
the back of the seat could
spring forward resulting in acci-
dental injury to a person struck
by the seatback.
WARNING- Loose objects
Loose objects in the driver’s
foot area could interfere with
the operation of the foot pedals,
possibly causing an accident.
Do not place anything under the
front seats.
WARNING
Do not use a sitting cushion
that reduces friction between
the seat and passenger. The
passenger’s hips may slide
under the lap portion of the seat
belt during an accident or a
sudden stop. Serious or fatal
internal injuries could result
because the seat belt cannot
operate normally.
WARNING- Driver
responsibility for passen-
gers
Riding in a vehicle with the
seatback reclined could lead to
serious or fatal injury in an acci-
dent.
If a seat is reclined during an
accident, the occupant’s hips
may slide under the lap portion
of the seat belt applying great
force to the unprotected
abdomen. Serious or fatal inter-
nal injuries could result. The
driver must advise the passen-
ger to keep the seatback in an
upright position whenever the
vehicle is in motion. In addition,
excessive reclining can signifi-
cantly reduce the ability of the
restraint system to restrain
occupants in certain accidents,
specifically rollover accidents.

(Continued)
No passenger should ride inthe cargo area or sit or lie on
folded seatbacks while the
vehicle is moving. All passen-
gers must be properly seated
in seats and restrained prop-
erly while riding.
When resetting the seatback to the upright position, make
sure it is securely latched by
pushing it forward and back-
wards.
To avoid the possibility of burns, do not remove the car-
pet in the cargo area.
Emission control devices
beneath this floor generate
high temperatures.WARNING
After adjusting the seat, always
check that it is securely locked
into place by attempting to
move the seat forward or back-
ward without using the lock
release lever. Sudden or unex-
pected movement of the dri-
ver's seat could cause you to
lose control of the vehicle
resulting in an accident.
WARNING
Do not adjust the seat whilewearing seat belts. Moving the
seat cushion forward may
cause strong pressure on the
abdomen.
Use extreme caution so that hands or other objects are not
caught in the seat mecha-
nisms while the seat is mov-
ing.
Do not put a cigarette lighter on the floor or seat. When you
operate the seat, gas may
gush out of the lighter and
cause fire.

Front headrest
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 protect the head
and neck in the event of a rear colli-
sion.Adjusting the height up and down
To raise the headrest, pull it up to the
desired position (1). To lower the
headrest, push and hold the release
button (2) on the headrest support
and lower the headrest to the desired
position (3).
WARNING
For maximum effectiveness in
case of an accident, the head-
rest should be adjusted so the
middle of the headrest is at
the same height of the center
of gravity of an occupant's
head. Generally, the center of
gravity of most people's head
is 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.
Severe injury to the occu-
pants may occur in the event
of an accident. Headrests may
provide protection against
neck injuries when properly
adjusted.
Do not adjust the headrest position of the driver’s seat
while the vehicle is in motion.
