301-1. Front Seats
WARNING
Never adjust the seat while
driving, as personal injury or loss
of vehicle control may occur. Before adjusting the seat, ensure
nothing is blocking the adjusting
mechanism. After adjusting the seat, move it
back and forth to ensure the seat
is securely locked. If it is not, it
may move suddenly or the
seatbelt may not operate prop-
erly. Do not put objects under the front
seats. They may interfere with
front seat locking mechanism
and cause an accident.
 Seatbelts provide maximum
restraint when the occupant sits
back and upright in the seat. To
reduce the risk of sliding under
the seatbelt in a collision, the
front seatbacks should always be
used in the upright position while
the vehicle is running. If the front
seatbacks are not in the upright
position and a collision occurs,
the risk of sliding under the lap
belt and of the lap belt sliding up
over the abdomen will increase,
and both can result in serious
injury or death. The SRS airbags deploy with
considerable speed and force.
Occupants who are not sitting
back and upright when the SRS
airbag deploys could suffer
serious injury. Because the SRS
airbag needs enough space for
deployment, the driver should
always sit upright and well back
in the seat as far from the steering
wheel as practical while still
maintaining full vehicle control,
and the front passenger should
move the seat as far back as
possible and sit upright and well
back in the seat.

WARNING
Seat children in the rear seat prop-
erly restrained at all times. The SRS
airbag deploys with considerable
speed and force and can injure or
even kill children, especially if they
are not restrained or improperly
restrained. Because children are
lighter and weaker than adults, their
risk of being injured from deploy-
ment is greater. For that reason, we
strongly recommend that ALL chil-
dren (including those in child
restraint systems) sit in the REAR
seat properly restrained at all times
in a child restraint system or in a
seatbelt, whichever is appropriate
for the child’s age, height and
weight. Secure ALL types of child
systems in the REAR seats at all
times.NEVER INSTALL A CHILD
RESTRAINT SYSTEM IN THE
FRONT SEAT. DOING SO RISKS
SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO
THE CHILD BY PLACING THE
CHILD’S HEAD TOO CLOSE TO THE
SRS AIRBAG.
According to accident statistics,
children are safer when properly
restrained in the rear seating posi-
tions than in the front seating posi-
tions. For instructions and
precautions concerning child
restraint systems, refer to "Child
Restraint Systems" P46.

WARNING
To prevent the passenger from slid-
ing under the seatbelt in the event
of a collision, always put the
seatback in the upright position
while the vehicle is in motion. Also,
do not place objects such as cush-
ions between the passenger and the
seatback. If you do so, the risk of
sliding under the lap belt and of the
lap belt sliding up over the abdo-
men will increase, and both can
result in serious internal injury or
death.

WARNING
Seatbelts provide maximum
restraint when the occupant sits
well back and upright in the seat.
Do not put cushions or any other
materials between occupants and
seatbacks or seat cushions. If you
do so, the risk of sliding under the
lap belt and of the lap belt sliding up
over the abdomen will increase, and
both can result in serious internal
injury or death.

WARNING
 Never drive the vehicle with the
head restraints removed because
they are designed to reduce the
risk of serious neck injury in the
event that the vehicle is struck
from the rear. Also, never install
the head restraints backwards.
Doing so will prevent the head
restraints from functioning as
intended. Therefore, when the
head restraints are removed, all
head restraints must be rein-
stalled properly to protect vehicle
occupants. The vehicle should not be oper-
ated until the head restraints are
installed in their proper positions.
