CAUTION
■When folding the rear seatbacks down
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
●Do not fold the seatbacks down while driving.
●Do not fold seatbacks down while passengers are seated or luggage is placed on
the seats.
●Stop the vehicle on level ground, set the parking brake and shift the shift lever to
P.
●After folding the seatback, lightly move the seat back and forth to lock it in place.
●Do not allow anyone to sit on a folded seatback or in the luggage compartment
while driving.
●Do not allow children to enter the luggage compartment.
■Seat adjustment
●To reduce the risk of sliding under the lap belt during a collision, do not recline the
seat more than necessary.
If the seat is too reclined, the lap belt may slide past the hips and apply restraint
forces directly to the abdomen, or your neck may contact the shoulder belt,
increasing the risk of death or serious injury in the event of an accident.
●Adjustments should not be made while driving as the seat may unexpectedly
move and cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.

Driving position memory∗
Your preferred driving position (the position of the driver's seat, steering
wheel and outside rear view mirrors) can be memorized and recalled with
the touch of a button. It is also possible to set this function to activate auto-
matically when the doors are unlocked.
Three different driving positions can be entered into memory.
On some models, the same buttons are found on the front passenger’s side,
allowing the position of the front passenger’s seat to be memorized.
■Entering a position to memory
Turn the “ENGINE START STOP” switch to IGNITION ON
mode.
Adjust the driver’s seat, steering wheel and outside rear view
mirrors to the desired positions.
Press the “SET” button, then
within 3 seconds press button
“1”, “2” or “3” until the signal
beeps.
If the selected button has
already been preset, the previ-
ously recorded position will be
overwritten.
