Safety system of your vehicle02
- Loose objects
Any objects in the driver’s foot
area may interfere with pedal
operation, possibly causing an
accident. Do not place anything
under the driver’s seat.
WARNING
- Driver’s responsibility for pas-sengers
Riding in a seatback-reclined
seat may lead to serious or fatal
injury in an accident. When a
seatback is reclined in an acci-
dent, the occupant may slide
below the lap portion of the seat
belt and be applied with great
force on the unprotected
abdomen. Serious or fatal inter-
nal injuries may result. The driv-
er must advise passengers to
keep the seatback in an upright
position whenever the vehicle is
in motion.
WARNING
Do not place a seat cushion,
because it reduces friction
between a seat and a passenger.
The passenger may slide below
the lap portion of the seat belt in
an accident or a sudden stop.
Serious or fatal internal injuries
may result because the seat belt
does not normally operate.
WARNING
- Driver’s seat
Never attempt to adjust the seat position while the vehicle
is in motion. This may result in
loss of control and an acci-
dent, causing death, serious
injury, or property damage.
Do not allow anything to dis- turb the seatback position.
Any items stored behind a
seatback or any other items,
which disturb the proper
latching of a seatback, may
result in serious or fatal injury
in a sudden stop or collision.
Always drive and ride 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.
In order to avoid unnecessary and perhaps severe air bag
injuries, always sit as far back
as possible from the steering
wheel while comfortably
maintaining the control of the
vehicle. We recommend that
your chest be at least 10 inch-
es (250mm) away from the
steering wheel.
WARNING

Front seat adjustment
The front seat position can be adjust-
ed by pressing the control switches
on the doors. Before driving, adjust
the seat position, as desired, so as to
easily control the steering wheel,
pedals and instrument-panel but-
tons.
The power seat is operated byelectric motors. Pause the motor
operation after each seat-position
adjustment. Excessive motor
operation may damage the elec-
tric equipment.
The operation of a power seat consumes a large amount of elec-
tric power. To prevent unneces-
sary battery drain, when the
engine is turned OFF, do not
adjust the power seat longer than
necessary.
Do not press two power seat con- trol switches or more at the same
time. Doing so may fail the electric
motor or components.
NOTICE
2-4
Safety system of your vehicle
Do not adjust the seat while fastening a seat belt. Moving
the seat cushion forward may
apply strong pressure on the
abdomen.
While adjusting the seat posi- tion, use extreme caution not
to caught hands or other
objects inside the seat com-
ponents.
Do not leave a cigarette lighter on the floor mat or
seat. The operation of seat
adjustment may leak gas out
of the lighter and cause a fire.
Use extreme caution when picking small objects trapped
under the seats or between
the seat and the center con-
sole. Your hands might be cut
or injured by the sharp edges
of the seat mechanism.
WARNING
Do not adjust the seat position,
while fastening a seat belt.
Moving the seat cushion forward
may apply strong pressure on the
abdomen.
CAUTION
The power seat is operable,
even when the ignition is OFF.
Therefore, children should
never be left unattended in the
vehicle.
CAUTION

Lumbar support (for driver’s seat)
The lumbar support can be adjusted
by pressing the lumbar support switch
on the side of the driver’s seat. Press
the front portion of the switch (1) to
increase support, or press the rear
portion (2) to decrease support.
Move the lumbar-support component
up or down by pressing either (3) or
(4).
Head Restraint
The driver’s and front passenger’s
seats are equipped with head
restraints for their safety and comfort.
The head restraints not only provide
comfort for the driver and front pas-
senger, but also protect their heads
and necks in the event of a collision.
2-6
Safety system of your vehicle
OVI035006N
OVI035103N
For maximum effects in caseof an accident, the median
height of a head restraint
should be adjusted to the
gravity center of the occu-
pant’s head.
Generally, the center of gravi-
ty of most people’s head is
located at the top of their
eyes. Also, adjust the head
restraint as close to your head
as possible. For this reason,
the use of a cushion, which
holds the body away from the
seatback, is not recommend-
ed.
Do not drive the vehicle with a head restraint removed,
because severe injury may
occur to an occupant in the
event of an accident. A prop-
erly-adjusted head restraint
may provide protection
against neck injury.
Do not adjust the driver's head restraint, while the vehi-
cle is in motion.
WARNING

Reinstall
To reinstall a head restraint:
1. Raise a head restraint to the high-est by pressing up the switch (1).
2. Put the poles of the head restraint (2) into the holes. Then, pull down
the switch (3) until the head
restraint lowers to the lowest.
3. To securely install the head restraint, raise and lower the head
restraint 2 or 3 times by pressing
the switch.
4. Recline the seatback (5) by press- ing the recliner control switch (4).
5. Adjust the head restraint to the appropriate height.
Do not attempt to reinstall a head
restraint from the incorrect height,
other than from the highest. Do not
force it. It causes damage to the
head restraint.
NOTICE
2-8
Safety system of your vehicle
OVI035102N
When a head restraint is not securely installed, a head
restraint may not normally
and actively operate. When
reinstalling a head restraint,
securely latch it, as instructed
in the procedures.
Always confirm that a head restraint is fully latched in the
right position, after rein-
stalling it.
Do not operate the vehicle, when a head restraint is
removed, as severe injury to
an occupant may occur in the
event of an accident. A head
restraint may provide protec-
tion against neck injuries
when properly adjusted.
WARNING
Never allow anyone to take a
seat, of which a head restraint is
removed.
CAUTION
