Safety features of your vehicle
WARNING - Uprighting
seat
When you return the seatback
to its upright position, hold the
seatback and return it slowly
and be sure there are no other
occupants around the seat. If
the seatback is returned with-
out being held and controlled,
the back of the seat could
spring forward resulting in acci-
dental injury to a person struck
by the seatback.
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- Driver
responsibility for front seat
passenger
Riding in a vehicle with a front
seatback reclined could lead to
serious or fatal injury in an acci-
dent. If a front seat is reclined
during an accident, the occu-
pant’s hips may slide under the
lap portion of the seat belt, apply-
ing great force to the unprotected
abdomen. Serious or fatal inter-
nal injuries could result. The driv-
er must advise the front passen-
ger to keep the seatback in an
upright position whenever the
vehicle is in motion.
WARNING
Do not use a cushion or other
object that reduces friction
between the seat and person sitting
in the seat. The persons hips may
slide under the lap portion of the
seat belt during an accident or a
sudden stop. Serious or fatal inter-
nal injuries could result because
the seat belt can't operate normally.
WARNING- Driver’s seat
• Never attempt to adjust seat
whilst the vehicle is moving.
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
proper locking of a seatback
could result in serious or fatal
injury in a sudden stop or col-
lision.
• 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 accident.

ward when the ignition key is
removed and front driver’s door is
opened.
- It will move the driver’s seat for-
ward when the ignition key is
inserted.
• With smart key system

ward when the engine start/stop
button is changed to the OFF
position and front driver’s door is

- It will move the driver’s seat for-
ward when the engine start/stop

Head restraint (for front seat)
The driver's and front passenger's
seats are equipped with a head
restraint for the occupant's safety and
comfort.
The head restraint not only provides
comfort for the driver and front pas-
senger, but also helps to protect the
head and neck in the event of a colli-
sion.
OHM038048N
WARNING
• For maximum effectiveness in
case of an accident, the head
restraint should be adjusted so
the middle of the head restraint
is at the same height as the
centre of gravity of an occu-
pant's head. Generally, the cen-
tre of gravity of most people's
head is similar with the height
of 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 that holds the body
away from the seatback is not
recommended.
• Do not operate the vehicle with
the head restraints removed as
severe injury to the occupants
may occur in the event of an
accident. Head restraints may
provide protection against neck
injuries when properly adjust-
ed.
• Do not adjust the head restraint
position of the driver's seat
whilst the vehicle is in motion.

Folding the rear seat
The rear seatbacks can be folded to
facilitate carrying long items or to

vehicle.
ODM032055
WARNING
The purpose of the fold-down
rear seatbacks is to allow you to
carry longer objects that could
not be accommodated in the
cargo area.
Never allow passengers to sit
on top of the folded down seat-
back whilst the vehicle is mov-
ing. This is not a proper seating
position and no seat belts are
available for use. This could
result in serious injury or death
in case of an accident or sud-
den stop. Objects carried on the
folded down seatback should
not extend higher than the top
of the front seatbacks. This
could allow cargo to slide for-
ward and cause injury or dam-
age during sudden stops.
WARNING
Never attempt to adjust whilst
the vehicle is moving or the 2nd
row seat is occupied as the seat
may suddenly move and cause
the passenger on the seat to be
injured.

Head restraint (for rear seat)
The rear seat(s) is equipped with
head restraints in all the seating
positions for the occupant's safety
and comfort.
The head restraint not only provides
comfort for passengers, but also
helps protect the head and neck in
the event of a collision.

Cargo should always be
secured to prevent it from being
thrown about the vehicle in a
collision and causing injury to
the vehicle occupants. Do not
place objects in the rear (2nd

cannot be properly secured and
may hit the front seat occupants
in a collision.

automatic transaxle is in P (Park)
or the manual transaxle is in R
(Reverse) or 1st, and the parking
brake is securely applied when-
ever loading or unloading cargo.

allow the vehicle to move if the
shift lever is inadvertently
moved to another position.
