1-1. For safe use
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 forward to steer. ( P.141) 
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.141) 
Lock the head restraint in place  
with the center of the head  
restraint closest to the top of  
your ears. ( P. 1 4 4 ) 
Wear the seat belt correctly.  
( P. 3 5 )
WARNING
●With the engine stopped and the  shift lever in P (Multidrive) or N  
(manual transmission), fully  depress each pedal to the floor to make sure it does not interfere with  
the floor mat.

1-2. Child safety
WARNING
■When installing a child restraint  system 
For safety reasons, always install a  child restraint system in a rear seat. In the event that the rear seat cannot be  
used, the front seat can be used as  long as the airbag manual on-off sys-tem is set to “OFF”. 
If the airbag manual on-off system is  left on, the strong impact of the airbag deployment (inflation) may cause  
serious injury or even death.
■When a child restraint system is 
not installed on the front passen- ger seat 
Ensure that the airbag manual on-off  
system is set to “ON”. If it is left off, the airbag may not deploy in the event of an accident,  
which may result in serious injury or  even death.
Riding with children
Observe the following precau- 
tions when children are in the  
vehicle. 
Use a child restraint system  
appropriate for the child, until  
the child becomes large  
enough to properly wear the  
vehicle’s seat belt.
 It is recommended that chil- 
dren sit in the rear seats to  
avoid accidental contact with  
the shift lever, wiper switch,  
etc.
 Use the rear door child-protec- 
tor lock or the window lock  
switch to avoid children open- 
ing the door while driving or  
operating the power window  
accidentally. ( P.123, 155)
Do not let small children oper- 
ate equipment which may  
catch or pinch body parts,  
such as the power window,  
hood, back door, seats, etc.
WARNING
■When children are in the vehicle 
Never leave children unattended in  the vehicle, and never allow children to have or use the key. 
Children may be able to start the vehi- cle or shift the vehicle into neutral. There is also a danger that children  
may injure themselves by playing with  the windows or other features of the vehicle. In addition, heat build-up or  
extremely cold temperatures inside  the vehicle can be fatal to children.

●Do not allow anyone to sit on a folded seatback or in the luggage compartment while driving.
●Do not allow children to enter the luggage compartment.
●Do not allow anyone to sit on the rear center seat if the rear right seat  
is folded down, as the seat belt  buckle for the rear center seat belt is then concealed under the folded  
seat and cannot be used.
●Be careful not to get your hand 
caught when folding the rear seat- backs.
●Adjust the position of the front seats before folding down the rear seat-backs so that the front seats do not  
interfere with the rear seatbacks  when folding down the rear seat-backs.

●Make sure that the seatback is securely locked in position by lightly pushing it back and forth. 
If the seatback is not securely locked,  
the red marking will be visible on the

sure that the red mark is not visible.
●Check that the seat belts are not  twisted or caught in the seatback. 
If the seat belt gets caught between  
the seatback’s securing hook and 
latch, it may damage the seat belt.
