Seat belts must be snug against your 
hips and chest to work properly. When 
the seatback is reclined, the shoulder 
belt cannot do its job because it will not 
be snug against your chest. Instead, 
it will be in front of you. During an 
accident, you could be thrown into the 
seat belt, causing neck or other injuries.
The more the seatback is reclined, 
the greater chance the passenger’s 
hips will slide under the lap belt or the 
passenger’s neck will strike the shoulder 
belt.

position so that you can easily control 
the steering wheel, foot pedals and 
controls on the instrument panel.
 WARNING
NEVER allow children in the vehicle 
unattended. The power seats are 
operable when the vehicle is turned off.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the seats:
•	Always stop adjusting the seats when 
the seat has been adjusted as far 
forward or rearward as possible.
•	 Do not adjust the seats longer than 
necessary when the vehicle is turned 
off. This may result in unnecessary 
battery drain.
•	 Do not operate two or more seats at 
the same time. This may result in an 
electrical malfunction.

and other neck and spinal injuries during 
an accident, especially in a rear impact 
collision.

death in an accident, take the following 
precautions when adjusting your head 
restraints:
•	Always properly adjust the head 
restraints for all passengers BEFORE 
starting the vehicle.
•	 NEVER let anyone ride in a seat 
with the head restraints removed or 
reversed.
OHI039190N
•	Adjust the head restraints so the 
middle of the head restraints is at the 
same height as the height of the top 
of the eyes.
•	 NEVER adjust the head restraints 
position of the driver’s seat when the 
vehicle is in motion.
•	 Adjust the head restraints 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 head restraints locks 
into position after adjusting it.

Seat warmers (if equipped)

The seat warmers can cause a SERIOUS 
BURN, even at low temperatures and 
especially if used for long periods of 
time.
Passengers must be able to feel if the 
seat is becoming too warm so they can 
turn it off, if needed.
People who cannot detect temperature 
change or pain to the skin should 
use extreme caution, especially the 
following types of passengers:
•	 Infants, children, elderly or disabled 
persons, or hospital outpatients.
•	 People with sensitive skin or who 
burn easily.
•	 Fatigued individuals.
•	 Intoxicated individuals.
•	 People taking medication that can 
cause drowsiness or sleepiness.
 WARNING
NEVER place anything on the seat 
that insulates against heat when the

blanket or seat cushion. This may cause 
the seat warmer to overheat, causing a 
burn or damage to the seat.

Seat belt restraint system
 WARNING
OHI038182L
Improperly positioned seat belts may 
increase the risk of serious injury 
in an accident. Take the following 
precautions when adjusting the seat 
belt:
•	Position the lap portion of the seat 
belt as low as possible across your 
hips, not on your waist, so that it 
fits snugly. This allows your strong 
pelvic bones to absorb the force of 
the crash, reducing the chance of 
internal injuries.
•	 Position one arm under the shoulder 
belt and the other over the belt, as 
shown in the illustration.
•	 Always position the shoulder belt 
anchor into the locked position at the 
appropriate height.
•	 Never position the shoulder belt 
across your neck or face.
Front Seat Belt – Driver’s 3point 
system with emergency locking 
retractor
OHI038140
To fasten your seat belt:
Pull it out of the retractor and insert the 
metal tab (1) into the buckle (2). There 
will be an audible “click” when the tab 
locks into the buckle.
OHI038137
You should place the lap belt (1) portion 
across your hips and the shoulder belt (2) 
portion across your chest.
The seat belt automatically adjusts to the 
proper length after the lap belt portion 
is adjusted manually so that it fits snugly 
around your hips. If you lean forward in 
a slow, easy motion, the belt will extend 
and move with you.
If there is a sudden stop or impact, the 
belt will lock into position. It will also lock 
if you try to lean forward too quickly.
