Front seat adjustment - power
(if equipped)
The front seat can be adjusted by
using the control switches located on
the outside of the seat cushion.
Before driving, adjust the seat to the
proper position so as to easily con-
trol the steering wheel, pedals and
switches on the instrument panel.
Forward and backward
1. Push the control switch forward or
backward to move the seat to the
desired position.
2. Release the switch once the seat
reaches the desired position.
WARNING
The power seat is operable with
the ignition OFF.
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 switches at
the same time. Doing so may
result in power seat motor or
electrical component malfunc-
tion.

objects on seats equipped
with seat warmers. Damage to
the seat warming components
could occur.
• Do not change the seat cover.
It may damage the seat
warmer or airventilation sys-
tem.
WARNING- Seat warmer
burns
Passengers should use extreme
caution when using seat warm-
ers due to the possibility of
excess heating or burns. The
seat warmer may cause burns
even at low temperatures, espe-
cially if used for long periods of
time. In particular, the driver
must exercise extreme care for
the following types of passen-
gers:
1. Infants, children, elderly or
handicapped persons, or
hospital outpatients
2. Persons with sensitive skin
or those that burn easily
3. Fatigued individuals
4. Intoxicated individuals
5. Individuals taking medication
that can cause drowsiness or
sleepiness (sleeping pills,
cold tablets, etc.)

Seat belt restraint system
SEAT BELTS
(Continued)
• Never wear a seat belt over
fragile objects. If there is a
sudden stop or impact, the
seat belt can damage it.
• Avoid wearing twisted seat
belts. A twisted belt can't do
its job as well. In a collision, it
could even cut into you. Be
sure the belt webbing is
straight and not twisted.
• Be careful not to damage the
belt webbing or hardware. If
the belt webbing or hardware
is damaged, replace it.
WARNING
Seat belts are designed to bear
upon the bony structure of the
body, and should be worn low
across the front of the pelvis or
the pelvis, chest and shoulders,
as applicable; wearing the lap
section of the belt across the
abdominal area must be avoided.
(Continued)
WARNING
• For maximum restraint system
protection, the seat belts must
always be used whenever the
car is moving.
• Seat belts are most effective
when seatbacks are in the
upright position.
• Children age 12 and younger
must always be properly
restrained in the rear seat.
Never allow children to ride in
the front passenger seat. If a
child over 12 must be seated in
the front seat, he/she must be
properly belted and the seat
should be moved as far back as
possible.
• Never wear the shoulder belt
under your arm or behind your
back. An improperly positioned
shoulder belt can cause seri-
ous injuries in a crash. The
shoulder belt should be posi-
tioned midway over your shoul-
der across your collarbone.
(Continued)
(Continued)
Seat belts should be adjusted
as firmly as possible, consis-
tent with comfort, to provide the
protection for which they have
been designed.
A slack belt will greatly reduce
the protection afforded to the
wearer. Care should be taken to
avoid contamination of the web-
bing with polishes, oils and
chemicals, and particularly bat-
tery acid. Cleaning may safely
be carried out using mild soap
and water.
The belt should be replaced if
webbing becomes frayed, con-
taminated or damaged. It is
essential to replace the entire
assembly after it has been worn
in a severe impact even if dam-
age to the assembly is not obvi-
ous. Belts should not be worn
with straps twisted. Each seat
belt assembly must only be
used by one occupant; it is dan-
gerous to put a belt around a
child being carried on the occu-
pant's lap.

Seat belt precautionsInfant or small child
You should be aware of the specific
requirements in your country. Child
and/or infant seats must be properly
placed and installed in the rear seat.
For more information about the use
of these restraints, refer to “Child
restraint system” in this section.
✽NOTICE
Small children are best protected
from injury in an accident when
properly restrained in the rear seat
by a child restraint system that
meets the requirements of the Safety
Standards of your country. Before
buying any child restraint system,
make sure that it has a label certify-
ing that it meets Safety Standards of
your country. The restraint must be
appropriate for your child's height
and weight. Check the label on the
child restraint for this information.
Refer to “Child restraint system” in
this section.
WARNING
All occupants of the vehicle
must wear their seat belts at all
times. Seat belts and child
restraints reduce the risk of seri-
ous or fatal injuries for all occu-
pants in the event of a collision
or sudden stop. Without a seat
belt, occupants could be shifted
too close to a deploying air bag,
strike the interior structure or be
thrown from the vehicle.
Properly worn seat belts greatly
reduce these hazards.
Always follow the precautions
about seat belts, air bags and
occupant safety contained in
this manual.
WARNING
Every person in your vehicle
needs to be properly restrained
at all times, including infants
and children. Never hold a child
in your arms or lap when riding
in a vehicle. The violent forces
created during a crash will tear
the child from your arms and
throw the child against the inte-
rior. Always use a child restraint
appropriate for your child's
height and weight.

Safety features of your vehicle
Larger children
Children who are too large for child
restraint systems should always occu-
py the rear seat and use the available
lap/shoulder belts. The lap portion
should be fastened snug on the hips
and as low as possible. Check belt fit
periodically. A child's squirming could
put the belt out of position. Children
are afforded the most safety in the
event of an accident when they are
restrained by a proper restraint system
in the rear seat. If a larger child (over
age 12) must be seated in the front
seat, the child should be securely
restrained by the available lap/shoul-
der belt and the seat should be placed
in the rearmost position. Children age
12 and under should be restrained
securely in the rear seat. NEVER
place a child age 12 and under in the
front seat. NEVER place a rear facing
child seat in the front seat of a vehicle.
If the shoulder belt portion slightly
touches the child’s neck or face, try
placing the child closer to the centre of
the vehicle. If the shoulder belt still
touches their face or neck they need to
be returned to a child restraint system.
Pregnant women
The use of a seat belt is recom-
mended for pregnant women to
lessen the chance of injury in an
accident. When a seat belt is used,
the lap belt portion should be placed
as low and snugly as possible on the
hips, not across the abdomen. For
specific recommendations, consult a
physician.WARNING- Shoulder
belts on small children
• Never allow a shoulder belt to
be in contact with a child’s
neck or face whilst the vehicle
is in motion.
• If seat belts are not properly
worn and adjusted on chil-
dren, there is a risk of death or
serious injury.
WARNING - Pregnant
women
Pregnant women must never
place the lap portion of the
safety belt over the area of the
abdomen where the fetus is
located or above the abdomen
where the belt could crush the
fetus during an impact.

Safety features of your vehicle
36 3
Injured person
A seat belt should be used when an
injured person is being transported.
When this is necessary, you should
consult a physician for recommenda-
tions.
One person per belt
Two people (including children) should
never attempt to use a single seat belt.
This could increase the severity of
injuries in case of an accident.
Do not lie down
To reduce the chance of injuries in the
event of an accident and to achieve
maximum effectiveness of the
restraint system, all passengers
should be sitting up and the front seats
should be in an upright position when
the car is moving. A seat belt cannot
provide proper protection if the person
is lying down in the rear seat or if the
front seat is in a reclined position.
Care of seat belts
Seat belt systems should never be
disassembled or modified. In addi-
tion, care should be taken to assure
that seat belts and belt hardware are
not damaged by seat hinges, doors
or other abuse.WARNING
Riding with a reclined seatback
increases your chance of seri-
ous or fatal injuries in the event
of a collision or sudden stop.
The protection of your restraint
system (seat belts and air bags)
is greatly reduced by reclining
your seat. Seat belts must be
snug against your hips and
chest to work properly. The
more the seatback is reclined,
the greater the chance that an
occupant's hips will slide under
the lap belt causing serious
internal injuries or the occu-
pant's neck could strike the
shoulder belt. Drivers and pas-
sengers should always sit well
back in their seats, properly
belted, and with the seatbacks
upright.
WARNING
When you return the rear seat-
back to its upright position after
the rear seatback was folded
down, be careful not to damage
the seat belt webbing or buckle.
Be sure that the webbing or
buckle does not get caught or
pinched in the rear seat. A seat
belt with damaged webbing or
buckle will not be as strong and
could possibly fail during a col-
lision or sudden stop, resulting
in serious injury.

CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
Children riding in the car should sit in
the rear seat and must always be
properly restrained to minimise the
risk of injury in an accident, sudden
stop or sudden manoeuvre.
According to accident statistics, chil-
dren are safer when properly
restrained in the rear seats than in
the front seat. Larger children not in
a child restraint should use one of
the seat belts provided.
You should be aware of the specific
requirements in your country. Child
and/or infant safety seats must be
properly placed and installed in the
rear seat. You must use a commer-
cially available child restraint system
that meets the requirements of the
Safety Standards of your country.
Child restraint systems are designed
to be secured in vehicle seats by lap
belts or the lap belt portion of a
lap/shoulder belt, or by a tether
anchor and/or ISOFIX anchors (if
equipped).
Children could be injured or killed in
a crash if their restraints are not
properly secured.For small children and babies, a child
seat or infant seat must be used.
Before buying a particular child
restraint system, make sure it fits
your car seat and seat belts, and fits
your child. Follow all the instructions
provided by the manufacturer when
installing the child restraint system.
The rear seats have to be moved to
their rearmost position when using
Child Restraint System.(Continued)
• A seat belt or child restraint
system can become very hot
if it is left in a closed vehicle
on a sunny day, even if the
outside temperature does not
feel hot. Be sure to check the
seat cover and buckles before
placing a child there.
• When the child restraint sys-
tem is not in use, store it in
the luggage area or fasten it
with a seat belt so that it will
not be thrown forward in the
case of a sudden stop or an
accident.
• Children may be seriously
injured or killed by an inflating
air bag. All children, even
those too large for child
restraints, must ride in the
rear seat.
WARNING
• A child restraint system must
be placed in the rear seat.
Never install a child or infant
seat on the front passenger's
seat. Should an accident
occur and cause the passen-
ger side air bag to deploy, it
could severely injure or kill an
infant or child seated in an
infant or child seat. Thus only
use a child restraint in the
rear seat of your vehicle.
