Your vehicle has seat
belts and other safety
features that help protect you and your pas- sengers in an accident.Seat belts are the most important safety device. When worn properly, seat belts can reduce the chance of serious injury or deathin various types of crashes. For added protec- tion during a severe fr
ontal collision, your
vehicle has a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) with airbags for the driver and passen- gers. The seats, head restraints, and doorlocks also are safety equipment, which must be used correctly. Always check the following before you drive: That everyone in your vehicle is properly wearing their seat belt. That infants and small children are prop- erly secured in an appropriate child restraint system in the rear seat. That all doors are fully closed and locked.  That seatbacks are upright, with head restraints properly adjusted.
Safety equipment cannot prevent injury or death in all motor ve
hicle accidents. How-
ever, you can help reduce the risk of injury or death, by following the instructions in thismanual.

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.

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.

For third row seat passenger entry or exit, thesecond row seats can be moved forward.Pull up the lever (A) and tilt the seatback for- ward. Then slide the entire seat forward.
To return the seat, slide the entire seat back- ward to the desired position and then raise theseatback until it locks securely. After returning the seat, gently try to move it forward and backward to check that it issecurely retained and adjust the seatback to the normal seating position.
NOTE
 You can adjust the seatback forward or back- ward on either side separately.WA R N I N G To reduce the risk of serious injury or death in the event of
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.
Arm rest
NOTE
 Never sit on an arm rest. Doing so could damage the arm rest.

wrong direction.
Making a cargo area
WA R N I N G Never adjust the seats to make a cargo area when the vehicle is in motion or on a slope. The seats co
uld move more than
necessary or move su
ddenly and causing a
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
 When the seatback of a front seat is reclined, return it to the upright
position before driv-
ing.
