[x] Cancel search: bootPage 27 of 863
Do not drive with either front seats reclined:
Sitting in a reclined position while the vehicle is moving is dangerous because you do not get
the full protection from seat belts. During sudden braking or a collision, you can slide under
the lap belt and suffer serious internal injuries. For maximum protection, sit well back and
upright.
Do not place an object such as a cushion between the seatback and your back:
Putting an object such as a cushion between the seatback and your back is dangerous
because you will be unable to maintain a safe driving posture and the seat belt cannot
function at its full capacity in a collision, which could result in a serious accident, injury or
death.
Do not place objects under the seat:
The object could get stuck and cause the seat to not be fixed securely, and result in an
accident.
Do not stack cargo higher than the seatbacks:
Stacking luggage or other cargo higher than the seatbacks is dangerous. During sudden
braking or a collision, objects can fly around and become projectiles that may hit and injure
passengers.
Make sure luggage and cargo is secured before driving:
Not securing cargo while driving is dangerous as it could move or be crushed during sudden
braking or a collision and cause injury.
Never allow a passenger to sit or stand on the folded seatback while the vehicle is moving:
Driving with a passenger on the folded seatback is dangerous. Allowing a child to sit up on
the folded seatback while the vehicle is moving is particularly dangerous. In a sudden stop or
even a minor collision, a child not in a proper seat or child-restraint system and seat belt could
be thrown forward, back or even out of the vehicle resulting in serious injuries or death. The
child in the baggage area could be thrown into other occupants and cause serious injury.
Never give the car keys to children and do not allow them to play in the vehicle (Saloon):
Playing with the folding rear seats is dangerous. Once the seatbacks are back up, a child in
the boot would not be able to get out the way they had entered. If you have small children,
keep the seatbacks locked.

Always leave your car locked and keep the car keys safely away from children (Saloon):
Leaving your car unlocked or the keys in reach of children is dangerous. Children who find
their way into the boot through an unlocked rear seatback or an open boot can become
accidentally locked in the boot. This could result in death or brain damage from heat
prostration, particularly in the summer. Always lock the doors and the boot, and as an added
measure, keep the rear seatbacks locked, whether you have children in your home or not.

¾When operating a seat, be careful not to put your hands or fingers near the moving parts of
the seat or on the side trim to prevent injury.
¾When moving the seats, make sure there is no cargo in the surrounding area. If the cargo
gets caught it could damage the cargo.
¾(Manual Seat)
When moving the seats forward and rearward or returning a rear-reclined seatback to its
upright position, make sure you hold onto the seatback with your hand while operating. If
the seatback is not held, the seat will move suddenly and could cause injury.
NOTE
xWhen returning a rear seat to its original position, place the seat belt in its normal
position. Verify that the seat belt pulls out and retracts.
x(Power Seat)
The seat-bottom power adjustment is operated by motors. Avoid extended operation
because excessive use can damage the motors.
xTo prevent the battery from running down, avoid using the power adjustment when the
engine is stopped. The adjuster uses a large amount of electrical power.
xDo not use the switch to make more than one adjustment at a time.

Always take all children and pets with you
or leave a responsible person with them:
Leaving a child or a pet unattended in a
parked vehicle is dangerous. In hot
weather, temperatures inside a vehicle can
become high enough to cause brain
damage or even death.
Do not leave the key in your vehicle with
children and keep them in a place where
your children will not
find or play with
them:
Leaving children in a vehicle with the key is
dangerous. This could result in someone
being badly injured or even killed.
Always close all the windows and sunroof,
lock the doors and the liftgate/boot lid and
take the key with you when leaving your
vehicle unattended:
Leaving your vehicle unlocked is dangerous
as children could lock themselves in a hot
vehicle, which could result in death. Also, a
vehicle left unlocked becomes an easy
target for thieves and intruders.
After closing the doors and the liftgate/
boot lid, always verify that they are
securely closed:
Doors and the liftgate/boot lid not securely
closed are dangerous, if the vehicle is
driven with a door and the liftgate/boot lid
not securely closed, the door and the
liftgate/boot lid could open unexpectedly
resulting in an accident.
Always confirm the safety around the
vehicle before opening a door and the
liftgate/boot lid:
Suddenly opening a door and the liftgate/
boot lid is dangerous. A passing vehicle or a
pedestrian could be hit and cause an
accident.
& $ 8 7 , 2 1
¾Always
confirm the conditions around
the vehicle before opening/closing the
doors and the liftgate/boot lid and use
caution during strong winds or when
parked on an incline. Not being aware of
the conditions around the vehicle is
dangerous because fingers could get
caught in the door and the liftgate/boot
lid or a passing pedestrian could be hit,
resulting in an unexpected accident or
injury.
NOTE
xAlways stop the engine and lock the
doors. In addition, to prevent theft of
valuables, do not leave them inside the
cabin.
xIf the key is left in the following areas
and you leave the vehicle, the doors may
be locked depending on the radio wave
conditions even if the key is left in the
vehicle.

vehicle receives an impact strong
enough to inflate the air bags, all the
doors and the liftgate/boot lid are
automatically unlocked after about 6
seconds have elapsed from the time of
the accident.
The doors and the liftgate/boot lid may
not unlock depending on how an impact
is applied, the force of the impact, and
other conditions of the accident.
