For safety and security
WARNING
■When installing a child restraint system
●When installing a child restraint system in the rear center seat, adjust both
seat cushions to the same position and align both seatbacks at the same
angle. The seatbacks must be adjusted to the same angle. Otherwise, the
child restraint system cannot be securely restrained and this may cause
death or serious injuries in the event of sudden braking, sudden swerving
or an accident.
●When using the LATCH system, move the seat as far back as possible
and adjust the seatback as upright as possible.
●When a booster seat is installed, always ensure that the shoulder belt is
positioned across the center of the child’s shoulder. The belt should be
kept away from the child’s neck, but not so that it could fall off the child’s
shoulder. Failing to do so may result in death or serious injury in the event
of sudden braking, sudden swerving or an accident.
●Ensure that the belt and plate are securely locked and the seat belt is not
twisted.
●Shake the child restraint system left and right, and forward and backward
to ensure that it has been securely installed.
●After securing a child restraint system, never adjust the seat.
●Follow all installation instructions provided by the child restraint system
manufacturer.
■Do not use a seat belt extender
If a seat belt extender is used when installing a child restraint system, the
seat belt will not securely hold the child restraint system, which could cause
death or serious injury to the child or other passengers in the event of sud-
den braking, sudden swerving or an accident.
■To correctly attach a child restraint system to the anchors
When using the LATCH anchors, be sure that there are no foreign objects
around the anchors and that the seat belt is not caught behind the child
restraint system. Make sure the child restraint system is securely attached,
or it may cause death or serious injury to the child or other passengers in
the event of a sudden stop, sudden swerve or accident.

3-3. Adjusting the seats
WARNING
■When adjusting the seat position
●Take care when adjusting the seat position to ensure that other passen-
gers are not injured by the moving seat.
●Do not put your hands under the seat or near the moving parts to avoid
injury.
Fingers or hands may become jammed in the seat mechanism.
■Seat adjustment
●To reduce the risk of sliding under the lap belt during a collision, do not
recline the seat more than necessary.
If the seat is too reclined, the lap belt may slide past the hips and apply
restraint forces directly to the abdomen, or your neck may contact the
shoulder belt, increasing the risk of death or serious injury in the event of
an accident.
Adjustments should not be made while driving as the seat may unexpect-
edly move and cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
●Manual seats: After adjusting the seat, make sure that the seat is locked in
position.
●When returning the seats to their upright positions, be careful not to catch
the seat belts.
■Flattening the seats
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.
●Do not flatten the seats while driving.
●In a flat place, apply the parking brake firmly and shift the shift position to
P.
●Do not flatten the seats if they are occupied.
●Be careful not to get feet or hands caught in the moving parts or joints of
the seats while flattening.
●Do not allow children to flatten the seats.
●Do not drive with passengers sitting on the flattened seatback or in the lug-
gage compartment.
●Do not drive with luggage or passengers on the flattened seats.
●Do not allow children to enter the luggage compartment.
●After flattening, gently rock the seats to ensure they are firmly in place.
●Make sure that the seat belts are not caught in the gaps between the
seats.

WARNING
■When folding the seatbacks down
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.
●Do not fold the seatbacks down while driving.

●After operation, rock the seat gently to ensure that it is firmly in place.
■Reclining adjustment
●To reduce the risk of sliding under the lap belt during a collision, do not
recline the seat more than necessary.
If the seat is too reclined, the lap belt may slide past the hips and apply
restraint forces directly to the abdomen, or your neck may contact the
shoulder belt, increasing the risk of death or serious injury in the event of
an accident.
Adjustments should not be made while driving as the seat may unexpect-
edly move and cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
●After adjusting the seat, make sure that the seat is locked in position.
■After returning the seatback to the upright position
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.
●Make sure that the seatback is securely locked in position by lightly push-
ing it back and forth.
●Check that the seat belts are not twisted or caught in the seatback.
●Re-couple the rear center seat belt if it has been uncoupled. (P. 33)
●If the seat belt has been stowed using the seat belt hanger, check that the
seat belt has been removed from the hanger. (P. 143)

WARNING
●To avoid injury, always return the cargo hooks to their stowed positions
when not in use.
●If the deck boards are removed, return them to their original positions
before driving. In the event of sudden braking, an accident may occur due
to an occupant being struck by the deck boards or the items stored in the
auxiliary box.
●Do not allow children to climb on the luggage cover. Climbing on the lug-
gage cover could result in damage to the luggage cover, possibly causing
death or serious injury to the child.
