WARNING
■When adjusting the seat position
●Take care when ad justing the seat 
position to ensure  that other passen-
gers are not injured by the moving 
seat.
●When adjusting the rear seat with an 
ottoman, make sure there is sufficient 
space so that a foot does not get 
caught between the ottoman and front 
passenger seat . (If equipped)
●Vehicles with a rear seat entertainment 
system: When the rear seat is moving 
to the Entertainment Mode position, 
do not allow hands near the rear dis-
play. Otherwise, a hand or finger may 
be caught, possibly causing injury.
■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.
■Using the ottoman (if equipped)
●Do not sit on the ottoman.
If someone sits on the ottoman, the seat 
belt cannot be fitted properly, and they 
may be thrown from the seat, resulting in 
death or serious injury in the event of an 
accident or sudden braking.
●When getting in or out of the vehicle, 
retract the ottoman. If the ottoman is 
not retracted, it may cause a fall, result-
ing in injury.
●Do not operate the ottoman when the 
vehicle is moving.
●Do not allow anyone to put their hands 
or feet under the re ar seat when stow-
ing the ottoman.
NOTICE
■To prevent an ottoman malfunction (if 
equipped)
●Do not place any objects in the rear 
seat footwell that could prevent the 
operation of the ottoman.
●Do not place heavy luggage on the 
ottoman.
●Do not place any objects under the 
ottoman while it is raised for use. These 
objects may interfere with the ottoman 
being folded, causing damage to the 
ottoman or the objects themselves.
