depress the pedals fully and so that
your arms bend slightly at the
elbow when gripping the steering
wheel. ( P.138)
Lock the head restraint in place
with the center of the head restraint
closest to the top of your ears.
( P.143)

ing their seat belts before driving the

Correct driving posture
WARNING
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
A
B
C
D
●Do not adjust the position of the driver’s seat while driving.
Doing so could cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
●Do not place a cushion between the driver or passenger and the seatback.
A cushion may prevent correct pos- ture from being achieved, and reduce the effectiveness of the seat belt and
head restraint.
●Do not place anything under the front seats.Objects placed under the front seats
may become jammed in the seat tracks and stop the seat from locking in place. This may lead to an accident
and the adjustment mechanism may also be damaged.
●Always observe the legal speed limit when driving on public roads.
●When driving over long distances, take
regular breaks before you start to feel tired. Also, if you feel tired or sleepy while
driving, do not force yourself to con- tinue driving and take a break immedi-
ately.

1-2. Child safety
When installing a forward-facing
child seat, if there is a gap between
the child seat and the seatback,
adjust the seatback angle until good
contact is achieved.
 If the seat belt shoulder anchor is
ahead of the child seat belt guide,
move the seat cushion forward.
 When installing a junior seat, if the
child in your child restraint system is
in a very upright position, adjust the
seatback angle to the most comfort-
able position. And if the seat belt
shoulder anchor is ahead of the
child seat belt guide, move the seat
cushion forward.
■Installing child restraint system
using a seat belt
Install the child restraint system in
accordance to the operation manual
enclosed with the child restraint sys-
tem.
1 If installing the child restraint sys-
tem to the front passenger seat is
unavoidable, refer to P.51 for front
passenger seat adjustment.
2 If the head restraint interferes with
the child restraint system installa-
tion and the head restraint can be
removed, remove the head
restraint. Otherwise, put the head
restraint in the upper most position.
( P.143)
3 Run the seat belt through the child
restraint system and insert the plate
into the buckle. Make sure that the
belt is not twisted. Securely fix the
seat belt to the child restraint sys-
tem in accordance to the directions

tain distance or more, the head restraint moves down.

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.
●Make sure to leave enough space
around the feet so they do not get stuck.
■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 unexpectedly move and cause the driver to lose control
of the vehicle.
