Feature of Seat Leather
Leather is made from the outer
skin of an animal, which goes
through a special process to be
available for use. Since it is a nat-
ural substance, each part differs in
thickness or density.
Wrinkles may appear as a natural
result of stretching and shrinking
depending on the temperature and
humidity.
The seat cover is made of stretch-
able material to improve comfort of
passengers.
The parts contacting the body are
curved and the side supporting
area is high which provides driving
comfort and stability.
Wrinkles may appear naturally
from usage. It is not a fault of the
product.
✽ ✽

NOTICE
Wrinkles or abrasions which appear
naturally from usage are not cov-
ered by warranty.
CAUTION
Belts with metallic acces-
sories, zippers or keys inside
your back pants pocket may
damage the seat fabric.
Make sure not to wet the seat.
It may change the nature of
natural leather.
Jeans or clothes which con-
tain bleach may contaminate
the surface of the seat cover-
ing fabric and cause damage
or discoloration.

Front seat adjustment - power
The front seat can be adjusted by
using the control switches located on
the outside of the seat cushion.
Before driving, adjust the seat to the
proper position so you can easily con-
trol the steering wheel, pedals and
switches on the instrument panel.
When in operation, the power seat-
consumes a large amount of electri-
cal power. To prevent unnecessary
system drain, don’t adjust the power
seat longer than necessary while the
engine is not running.
Forward and backward
Push the control switch forward or
backward to move the seat to the
desired position. When the control
switch is operated forward, the seat
cushion is slightly raised, and the
seat cushion lowered when the
switch is operated backward.
Release the switch once the seat
reaches the desired position.

The driver's and front passenger's
seats are equipped with a headrest
for the occupant's safety and comfort.
The headrest not only provides com-
fort for the driver and front passenger,
but also helps protect the head and
neck in the event of a rear-end colli-
sion.For maximum effectiveness in case
of an accident, the headrest should
be adjusted so the middle of the
headrest is at the same height of the
center of gravity of an occupant's
head. Generally, the center of gravity
of most people's head is similar with
the height of the top of their eyes.
Also, adjust the headrest as close to
your head as possible. For this rea-
son, the use of a cushion that holds
the body away from the seatback is
not recommended.
