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.

If, however, there is a sudden stop or
impact, the seat belt will lock into
position. It will also lock if you try to
lean forward too quickly.
✽NOTICE
If you are unable to pull the seat belt
out from the retractor, firmly pull the
seat belt and release it, then proceed
to pull the seat belt out smoothly.
Height adjustment (Front seat)
(if equipped)
You can adjust the height of the shoul-
der belt anchor to one of 4 positions
for maximum comfort and safety.
The height of the adjusting seat belt
should not be too close to your neck.
You will not get the most effective pro-
tection. The shoulder portion should
be adjusted so that it lies across your
chest and midway over your shoulder
near the door and not your neck.
To adjust the height of the seat belt
anchor, lower or raise the height
adjuster into an appropriate position.

anchor is locked into position
at the appropriate height.
Never position the shoulder
belt across your neck or face.
Improperly positioned seat
belts can cause serious
injuries in an accident.

after an accident could leave
you with damaged seat belts
that will not provide protec-
tion in the event of another
collision leading to personal
injury or death. Replace your
seat belts after being in an
accident as soon as possible.
