Safety features of your vehicle
WARNING - Uprighting
seat
When you return the seatback
to its upright position, hold the
seatback and return it slowly.
Ensure there are no other occu-
pants around the seat. If the
seatback is returned without
being held and controlled, the
back of the seat could move for-
ward or rearward resulting in
accidental injury to a person
struck by the seatback.
WARNING- Driver
responsibility for passen-
gers
Travelling in a vehicle with the
seatback reclined could lead to
serious or fatal injury in an acci-
dent. If a seat is reclined during
an accident, the occupant’s hips
may slide under the lap portion
of the seat belt applying great
force to the unprotected
abdomen. The protection of your
restraint system (seat belt and
air bags) is greatly reduced by
reclining your seat. Serious or
fatal internal injuries could
result. The driver must advise the
passenger to keep the seatback
in an upright position whenever
the vehicle is in motion.WARNING- Loose
objects
Loose objects in the driver’s
foot area could interfere with
the operation of the foot pedals,
possibly causing an accident.
Do not place anything under the
front seats.WARNING
Do not use a cushion that
reduces friction between the
seat and passenger. The passen-
ger's hips may slide under the
lap portion of the seat belt dur-
ing an accident or a sudden
stop. Serious or fatal internal
injuries could result because the
seat belt can't operate normally.
WARNING - Driver’s seat
• Never attempt to adjust the
seat whilst the vehicle is mov-
ing. This could result in loss of
control, and an accident caus-
ing death, serious injury, or
property damage.
• Do not allow anything to inter-
fere with the normal position of
the seatback. Storing items
against a seatback or in any
other way interfering with prop-
er locking of a seatback could
result in serious or fatal injury
in a sudden stop or collision.

Safety features of your vehicle

(Continued)
• Always drive and travel with
your seatback upright and the
lap portion of the seat belt
snug and low across the hips.
This is the best position to
protect you in case of an acci-
dent.
• To avoid unnecessary and
perhaps severe air bag
injuries, always sit as far back
as possible from the steering
wheel whilst maintaining
comfortable control of the
vehicle. We recommend that
your chest be at least 250 mm
away from the steering wheel.WARNING- Rear seat-
backs
• The rear seatback must be
securely latched. If not, pas-
sengers and objects could be
thrown forward resulting in
serious injury or death in the
event of a sudden stop or colli-
sion.
• Luggage and other cargo
should be laid flat in the lug-
gage compartment. If objects
are large, heavy, or must be
stacked, they must be secured.
Under no circumstances
should cargo be stacked high-
er than the seatbacks. Failure
to follow these warnings could
result in serious injury or death
in the event of a sudden stop,
collision or rollover.
• No passenger should travel in
the luggage compartment or
sit or lie on folded seatbacks
whilst the vehicle is moving. All
passengers must be properly
seated in seats and restrained
properly whilst travelling.
(Continued)(Continued)
• When resetting the seatback
to the upright position, make
sure it is securely latched by
pushing it forward and back-
wards.
• To avoid the possibility of
burns, do not remove the car-
pet in the luggage compart-
ment. Emission control
devices beneath this floor
generate high temperatures.
WARNING
After adjusting the seat, always
check that it is securely locked
into place by attempting to
move the seat forward or rear-
ward without using the lock
release lever. Sudden or unex-
pected movement of the dri-
ver's seat could cause you to
lose control of the vehicle
resulting in an accident.

lever up and hold it.
2. Slide the seat to the position you
desire.
3. Release the lever and make sure

make sure the seat is locked secure-
ly by trying to move forward and rear-
ward without using the lever. If the
seat moves, it is not locked properly.Seatback angle

1. Lean forward slightly and lift up on
the seatback recline lever.
2. Carefully lean back on the seat
and adjust the seatback to the

inal position for the seatback to

WARNING
• Do not adjust the seat whilst
wearing seat belts. Moving the
seat cushion forward may
cause strong pressure on the
abdomen.
• Use extreme caution so that
hands or other objects are not
caught in the seat mechanisms
whilst the seat is moving.
• Do not put a cigarette lighter
on the floor or seat. When you
move the seat, the lighter may
be damaged and leak gas.
• If there are occupants in the
rear seats, be careful whilst
adjusting the front seat posi-
tion.
• Use extreme caution when
picking small objects trapped
under the seats or between
the seat and the centre con-
sole. Your hands might be cut
or injured by the sharp edges
of the seats mechanism.

Seat cushion height (for driver’s seat)
To change the height of the seat
cushion, move the lever upwards or
downwards.
• To lower the seat cushion, push the
lever down several times.
• To raise the seat cushion, pull the
lever up several times.
Automatic adjustment
(for driver’s seat) (if equipped)
The driver’s seat can be adjusted by
using the control switch located on
the outside of the seat cushion.

proper position so as to easily con-
trol the steering wheel, pedals and
switches on the instrument panel.
OMD030004/HWARNING
The power seat is operable with
the ignition OFF.
Therefore, children should never
be left unattended in the vehicle.
CAUTION
• The power seat is driven by an
electric motor. Stop operating
once the adjustment is com-
pleted. Excessive operation
may damage the electrical
equipment.
• When in operation, the power
seat consumes a large amount
of electrical power. To prevent
unnecessary charging system
drain, don’t adjust the power
seat longer than necessary
whilst the engine is not run-
ning.
• Do not operate two or more
power seat control switch at
the same time. Doing so may
result in power seat motor or
electrical component malfunc-
tion.
