For safety and security
Adjust the angle of the seatback so 
that you are sitting straight up and 
so that you do not have to lean for-
ward to steer. (P.120)
Adjust the seat so that you can 
depress the pedals fully and so that 
your arms bend slightly at the 
elbow when gripping the steering 
wheel. ( P.120)
Lock the head restraint in place 
with the center of the head restraint 
closest to the top of your ears. 
( P.125)
Wear the seat belt correctly. 
( P.25) Make sure that all occupants are wear-
ing their seat belts before driving the 
vehicle. (
P.25) 
Use a child restraint system appropri-
ate for the child until the child becomes 
large enough to properly wear the 
vehicle’s seat belt. ( P.43)
Make sure that you can see backward 
clearly by adjusting the inside and out-
side rear view mirrors properly. 
( P.128, 129)

Correct driving posture
WARNING
Observe the following precautions. 
Failure to do so may result in death or 
serious injury.
A

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.
