Seat adjustmentE00400300271
Adjust the driver’s seat so that you are com- fortable and that you can reach the pedals,
steering wheel, switches etc. while retaining a clear field of vision.WARNINGl Do not attempt to adjust the seat while
driving. This can cause loss of vehicle con- trol and result in an accident. After ad-
justments are made, ensure the seating is locked in position by attempting to move
the seat forward and rearward without
using the adjusting mechanism.
l Do not let children or adults ride in areas
of the vehicle that are not equipped with seats or seat belts. Also, make sure that all
occupants are sitting in their seats and wearing their seat belts, and that children
are sitting in child restraints.
l To minimize the risk of personal injury in
the event of a collision or sudden braking,the seatbacks should always be in the al-
most upright position while the vehicle is in motion. The protection provided by theseat belts may be reduced significantly
when the seatback is reclined. There is greater risk that the passenger will slide
under the seat belt, resulting in serious in- jury, when the seatback is reclined.CAUTIONl Make sure the seat is adjusted by an adult or
with adult supervision for correct and safe operation.
l Do not place a cushion or the like between
your back and the seatback while driving.The effectiveness of the head restraints will
be reduced in the event of an accident.
l When sliding the seat rearward, be careful
not to catch your hand or foot.Front seat

The airbags deflate very rapidly after deploy-
ment, so there is little danger of obscured vi- sion.CAUTIONl Airbags inflate at an extremely rapid speed.
In certain situations, contact with inflating airbags can result in abrasions, bruises, and the like.WARNINGl IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO BE
PROPERLY SEATED.
A driver or front passenger too close to the steering wheel or instrument panel
during airbag deployment can be killed or seriously injured.
Airbags inflate very fast, and with great force.
If the driver and front passenger are not
properly seated and restrained, the air-
bags may not protect you properly, and could cause serious or fatal injuries whenit inflates.
l Do not sit on the edge of the seat or sit
with your lower legs too close to the in-
strument panel, or lean head or chest close to the steering wheel or instrument panel. Do not put feet or legs on or againstthe instrument panel.WARNINGl Place all infants and small children in the
rear seat and properly restrained using an
appropriate child restraint system.
The rear seat is the safest place for infants
and children.WARNINGl Infants and small children should never
be unrestrained, stand up against the in-strument panel or be held in your arms or on your lap. They could be seriously in-jured or killed in a collision, including when the airbag inflates. They should be
properly seated in the rear seat in an ap- propriate child restraint system. See the
“Child restraint” section of this owner’s
manual.
Use rearward facing child restraints in the
rear seat or turn off the front passenger’s air- bag ON-OFF switch (if so equipped). (Refer
to “To turn an airbag off” on page 4-28)

3.Turn the ignition switch to the “ON” po-
sition or put the operation mode in ON. The front passenger’s airbag OFF indi-
cation lamp will stay on.
The front passenger’s airbag is now deactiva- ted and will not deploy until switched on
again.
Driver’s and front passenger’s
airbag system
E00407400792
The driver’s airbag is located under the pad- ded cover in the middle of the steering wheel. The front passenger’s airbag is contained in
the instrument panel above the glove box.
The driver’s airbag and the front passenger’s
airbag are designed to inflate at the same
time even if the passenger seat is not occu- pied.Driver’s knee airbag system*
E00412400022
The driver’s knee airbag is located under the steering wheel.
The driver’s knee airbag is designed to de-
ploy at the same time as the driver’s front air- bag.

Deployment of front airbagsand driver’s knee airbag
E00407501644
The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag ARE DESIGNED
TO DEPLOY when…
The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag are
designed to deploy when the vehicle suffers a moderate to severe frontal impact. Examples
of some typical conditions are shown in the
illustration.
1- Head-on collision with a solid wall at a speed of approximately 25 km/h
(16 mph) or higher
2- Moderate-to-severe frontal impact with- in the shaded area between the arrows
The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag
will deploy if the severity of the impact is above the designed threshold level, compara-ble to a collision at approximately 25 km/h
(16 mph) when impacting straight into a solid
wall that does not move or deform. If the se-
verity of the impact is below the above threshold level, the front airbags and driver’s knee airbag may not deploy. However, this
threshold speed will be considerably higher if
the vehicle strikes an object that absorbs the impact by either deforming or moving (for
example, another stationary vehicle, pole or a
guard rail).
Because frontal collisions can easily move you out of position, it is important to always
properly wear your seat belts. Your seat belts will help keep you a safe distance from thesteering wheel and instrument panel during
the initial stages of airbag deployment. The
initial stage of airbag inflation is the most forceful, and can possibly cause serious or fa-tal injuries. Moreover, the seat belts in your
vehicle are your primary means of protection
in a collision. The SRS airbags are designed to provide additional protection. Therefore,
for your safety and the safety of all occu- pants, be sure to always properly wear your
seat belts.The front airbags and driver’s
knee airbag MAY NOT DE- PLOY when…
With certain types of frontal collisions, thevehicle’s body structure is designed to absorb
the shock to help protect the occupants from harm. (The vehicle body’s front area may de-form significantly as it absorbs the impact.) Under such circumstances, the front airbags and driver’s knee airbag may not deploy irre-
spective of the deformation and damage to
the vehicle body.
Examples of some typical conditions are shown in the illustration.
1- Collision with a utility pole, tree or other narrow object
2- Vehicle slides under the rear body of a truck
3- Oblique frontal impacts
Supplemental restraint system (SRS) - airbag
4-30OGAE15E5Seat and seat belts4

Because the front airbags and driver’s knee
airbag do not protect the occupant in all types of frontal collisions, be sure to always prop-erly wear your seat belts.
The front airbags and driver’s
knee airbag ARE NOT DE- SIGNED TO DEPLOY when…
The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag are
not designed to deploy in conditions where they cannot typically provide protection to
the occupant.
Such conditions are shown in the illustration.
1- Rear end collisions
2- Side collisions
3- Vehicle rolls onto its side or roof
Because the front airbags and driver’s knee
airbag do not protect the occupant in all types of collisions, be sure to always properly wearyour seat belts.
The front airbags and driver’s
knee airbag MAY DEPLOY
when…
The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag
may deploy if the bottom of the vehicle suf-
fers a moderate-to-severe impact (undercar- riage damage).
Examples of some typical conditions are shown in the illustration.
1- Collision with an elevated median/island or kerb
2- Vehicle travels over a deep hole/pothole
3- Vehicle drives down a steep slope and hits the ground
Because the front airbags and driver’s knee
airbag may deploy in certain types of unex- pected impacts as shown in the illustration that can easily move you out of position, it is important to always properly wear your seat belts. Your seat belts will help keep you a
safe distance from the steering wheel and in- strument panel during the initial stages of air-
bag deployment. The initial stage of airbag inflation is the most forceful and can possibly
cause serious or fatal injuries if you contact it
at this stage.WARNINGl Do not attach anything to the steering
wheel’s padded cover, such as badges or accessories. It might strike and injure an
occupant if the airbag inflates.
l Do not set anything on, or attach anything
to, the instrument panel above the glove box. It might strike and injure an occu- pant if the airbag inflates.
