Safety precautions
Adjusting the seats so that you are sit-
ting in a safe, comfortable position
plays an important role in driver and
passenger safety together with the
seat belts and air bags in an accident.
Air bags
You can take steps to reduce the risk
of being injured by an inflating air
bag. Sitting too close to an air bag
greatly increases the risk of injury in
the event the air bag inflates.The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) recommends
that drivers allow at least 10 inches
(25 cm) between the center of the
steering wheel and their chest.
Seat belts
Always fasten your seat belt before
starting any trip.
At all times, passengers should sit
upright and be properly restrained.
Infants and small children must be
restrained in appropriate child restraint
systems. Children who have outgrown
a booster seat and adults must be
restrained using the seat belts.
Do not use a cushion that
reduces friction between the seat
and the passenger. The passen-
ger's hips may slide under the
lap portion of the seat belt during
an accident or a sudden stop.
Serious or fatal internal injuries
could result because the seat
belt cannot operate properly.
WARNING To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death from an inflating
air bag, take the following pre-
cautions:
•Adjust the driver's seat as far to
the rear as possible while main-
taining the ability to maintain
full control of the vehicle.
Adjust the front passenger seat
as far to the rear as possible.
Hold the steering wheel by the
rim with hands at the 9 o'clock
and 3 o'clock positions to mini-
mize the risk of injuries to your
hands and arms.
NEVER place anything or any-
one between the steering wheel
and the air bag.
Do not allow the front passen-
ger to place feet or legs on the
dashboard to minimize the risk
of leg injuries.

Front seats
Take the following precautions
when adjusting your seat belt:
NEVER use one seat belt for
more than one occupant.
Always position the seatback
upright with the lap portion of
the seat belt snug and low
across the hips.
NEVER allow children or small
infants to ride in a passenger’s
lap.
Do not route the seat belt
across your neck, across sharp
edges, or reroute the shoulder
strap away from your body.
Do not allow the seat belt to
become caught or jammed.
WARNING
Take the following precautions
when adjusting your seat:
NEVER attempt to adjust the
seat while the vehicle is mov-
ing. The seat could respond
with unexpected movement
and may cause loss of vehicle
control resulting in an acci-
dent.
Do not place anything under
the front seats. Loose objects
in the driver's foot area could
interfere with the operation of
the foot pedals, causing an
accident.
Do not allow anything to inter-
fere with the normal position
and proper locking of the seat-
back.
Do not place a cigarette lighter
on the floor or seat. When you
operate the seat, gas may exit
out of the lighter causing a fire.
(Continued)
WARNING
To prevent injury:
Do not adjust your seat while
wearing your seat belt.
Moving the seat cushion for-
ward may cause strong pres-
sure on your abdomen.
Do not allow your hands or
fingers to get caught in the
seat mechanisms while the
seat is moving.
(Continued)
Use extreme caution when
picking small objects trapped
under the seats or between the
seat and the center console.
Your hands might be cut or
injured by the sharp edges of
the seat mechanism.
WARNING

Headrest
The vehicle’s front and rear seats
have adjustable headrests. The head-
rests provide comfort for passengers,
but more importantly they are
designed to help protect passengers
from whiplash and other neck and
spinal injuries during an accident,
especially in a rear impact collision.
Safety system of your vehicle
To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death in an accident,
take the following precautions
when adjusting your headrests:
Always properly adjust the
headrests for all passengers
BEFORE starting the vehicle.
NEVER let anyone ride in a seat
with the headrest removed.
Adjust the headrests so the
middle of the headrests is at
the same height as the height
of the top of the eyes.
NEVER adjust the headrest
position of the driver's seat
when the vehicle is in motion.
Adjust the headrest as close
to the passenger's head as
possible. Do not use a seat
cushion that holds the body
away from the seatback.
Make sure the headrest locks
into position after adjusting it.
WARNING
To prevent damage, NEVER hit
or pull on the headrests.

To prevent damage to the air
ventilation seat system and
seats:
Use the air ventilation seats
ONLY when the air condition-
ing is on. Using the air venti-
lation seats for prolonged
periods of time with the air
conditioning off could cause
the air ventilation seats to
malfunction.
Never use a solvent such as
paint thinner, benzene, alco-
hol or gasoline to clean the
seats.
Avoid spilling liquids on the
surface of the front seats and
seatbacks; this may cause the
air vent holes to become
blocked and not work proper-
ly.
(Continued)
(Continued)
Do not place materials such
as plastic bags or newspa-
pers under the seats. They
may block the air intake caus-
ing the air vents to not work
properly.

ers. It may damage the air ven-
tilation seats.
If the air vents do not operate,
restart the vehicle. If there is
