3Easy access function
(if equipped)The system will move the driver's
seat automatically as follows:
 Without smart key system
- It will move the driver’s seat rear-ward when the ignition key is
removed.
- It will move the driver’s seat for- ward when the ignition key is
inserted.
 With smart key system - It will move the driver’s seat rear-ward when the engine start/stop
button is changed to the OFF
position.
- It will move the driver’s seat for- ward when the engine start/stop
button is changed to the ACC or
START position.
You can activate or deactivate this
feature. Refer to "User settings" in
chapter 4.
Headrest (for front seat)The driver's and front passenger's
seats are equipped with a headrest
for the occupant's safety and comfort.
The headrest not only provides com-
fort for the driver and front passenger,
but also helps protect the head and
neck in the event of a rear collision.
OHM038048N
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.
