When sitting in the mi
ddle seating position of
the second row seat, adjust the head restraints
to an appropriate height where they lock in position. Refer to “Head restraints” on page4-10. Pull the seat adjusting lever up and slide the seat forward or backwa
rd to the desired posi-
tion. Release the adjusting lever to lock the seat in place.
Pull the lever up and adjust the seatback by hand to the desired position, and release thelever. The seatback will lock in place.
CAUTION Switch off the heated seats when not in use. Operate the heaters at the “HI” position forquick heating. After the seat has becomewarm, set the heater switch to the “LO” posi- tion to keep it warm. S
light variations in the
seat temperature may be
felt while using the
heated seats. This is
caused by the operation
of the heater’s internal thermostat and does not indicate a malfunction. Do not place heavy obj
ects on the seat or
stick pins, needles, or
other pointed objects
into the seat. Do not place a blanket,
cushion, or other
insulating material on the seat while using the heater; doing so can
cause the heater ele-
ment to overheat. When cleaning the seat, do not use benzine, kerosene, gasoline, alc
ohol, or other organic
solvents; doing so can cause damage not only to the surface of the seat, but also to the heater. If water or any other li
quid is spilled on the
seat, allow it to dry thoroughly beforeattempting to use the heater. Turn the heater off immediately if it
appears to be malfunc-
tioning during use.

an accident or sud-
den stop, all seatbacks should be kept in the upright position wh
ile the vehicle is in
motion. Seat belt performance during an accident can be adversely affect
ed if the seatbacks
are reclined. The more a seatback is reclined, the more likely seat belt perfor- mance will be advers
ely affected. If the
seat belt is not prop
erly positioned against
the body during an accident, there is increased risk you will slide under the beltand receive serious
injury or death.
When a person is sitting in the middle seating position of the second row seats, the two sides of the second seats must have the same forward/backward position(vehicles with second row seat slide func- tion) and the same seatback angle.

restraint to the proper
position. Sit back against the seatback with your head close to
the head restraint.

WA R N I N GDriving without the
head restraints in
place can cause you and your passengersserious injury or deat
h in an accident. To
reduce the risk of injury in an accident, always make sure the head restraints are installed and proper
ly positioned when

must be adjusted to
the proper position before vehicle opera- tion. The driver shou
ld never adjust the
seat while the vehicle is in motion. Never place a cushion
or similar device on
the seatback. This can adversely affecthead restraint performance by increasing the distance betwee
n your head and the

serious accident
and/or injury.
When returning a seat back to its seating position after fold
ing down, make sure
that the seat is firmly secured and seat beltbuckles are in proper
position. If the seat
is not secured, it could move causing a serious accident. Do not allow anyone to ride in the cargo area while the vehicle
is in motion. People
who are not properly seated and restrained can be seriously injured or killed in an accident.
 When driving the vehicle, do not allow anyone to sit on the third row seat if thesecond row seat is in the folded position.CAUTION In the cargo area, do not load the luggage higher than the top of the seats and makesure that the luggage is firmly secured. Restricted rear vision or
flying objects enter-
ing the passenger compartment during sud-den braking could result
in a serious accident
and/or injury. Seats should always be
operated by an adult.
Seat adjustments by a child could lead to an unexpected accident. When adjusting the seats, be careful not to catch your hand or leg.
Personal injury could
result.NOTE
