WARNING
●To reduce the risk of sliding
under the lap belt during a colli-
sion, 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.
●Manual seat only: After adjust-
ing the seat, make sure that the
seat is locked in position.

When adjusting a front seat, make
sure that the head restraint does
not contact the headliner. Other-
wise, the head restraint and head-
liner may be damaged.

WARNING
●Do not allow anyone to sit on a
folded seatback or in the trunk
while driving.
●Do not allow child ren to enter
the trunk.
●Be careful not to get your hand
caught when folding the rear
seatbacks.
●Adjust the position of the front
seats before folding down the
rear seatbacks so that the front
seats do not interfere with the
rear seatbacks when folding
down the rear seatbacks.
■After returning the rear seat-
back to the upright position
●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 seatback lock
release button. Make sure that the
red marking 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.

■When the right seatback is
folded down
Make sure the luggage loaded in
the enlarged trunk will not dam-
age the webbing of the rear cen-
ter seat belt.

Driving
total load capacity (vehicle
capacity weight) of B lb. (kg),
the available amount of cargo
and luggage load capacity will
be C lb. (kg) as follows:
B
*2 lb. (kg) - A*1 lb. (kg) = C*3 lb.
(kg)
*1: A =Weight of people
*2: B =Total load capacity
*3: C =Available cargo and luggage load
In this condition, if 3 more passen-
gers with the combined weight of D
lb. (kg) get on, the available cargo
and luggage load will be reduced E
lb. (kg) as follows:
C lb. (kg) - D*4 lb. (kg) = E*5 lb.
(kg)
*4: D =Additional weight of people
*5: E =Available cargo and luggage load
As shown in the example above,
if the number of occupants
increases, the cargo and lug-
gage load will be reduced by an
amount that equals the
increased weight due to the
additional occupants. In other
words, if an increase in the num-
ber of occupants causes an
excess of the total load capacity
(combined weight of occupants
plus cargo and luggage load),
you must reduce the cargo and
luggage on your vehicle.
WARNING
■Things that must not be car-
ried in the trunk
The following things may cause a
fire if loaded in the trunk:
●Receptacles containing gaso-
line
●Aerosol cans
■Storage precautions
Observe the following precau-
tions.
Failure to do so may prevent the
pedals from being depressed
properly, may block the driver’s
vision, or may res ult in items hit-
ting the driver or passengers, pos-
sibly causing an accident.
●Stow cargo and luggage in the
trunk whenever possible.
●To prevent cargo and luggage
from sliding forward during
braking, do not stack anything in
the enlarged trunk. Keep cargo
and luggage low, as close to the
floor as possible.
●When you fold down the rear
seats, long items should not be
placed directly behind the front
seats.
●Do not place cargo or luggage
in or on the follo wing locations.
