Safety features of your vehicle

WARNING - Loose objects

WARNING - Driver respon-

sibility for passengers

WARNING - Driver’s seat

Loose objects in the driver’s foot

area could interfere with the opera-

tion of the foot pedals, possibly

causing an accident. Do not place

anything under the front seats.

• Never attempt to adjust the seat

while the vehicle is moving. This

could result in loss of control,

and an accident causing death,

serious injury, or property dam-

age.

Riding in a vehicle with the seat-

back reclined could lead to serious

or fatal injury in an accident. If a

seat is reclined during an accident,

the occupant’s hips may slide

under the lap portion of the seat

belt applying great force to the

unprotected abdomen. Serious or

fatal internal injuries could result.

The driver must advise the passen-

ger to keep the seatback in an

upright position whenever the vehi-

cle is in motion.

• Do not allow anything to interfere

with the normal position of the

seatback. Storing items against a

seatback or in any other way

interfering with proper locking of

a seatback could result in serious

or fatal injury in a sudden stop or

collision.

WARNING - Uprighting

seat

When you return the seatback to its

upright position, hold the seatback

and return it slowly and be sure

there are no other occupants

around the seat. If the seatback is

returned without being held and

controlled, the back of the seat

could spring forward resulting in

accidental injury to a person struck

by the seatback.

• Always drive and ride with your

seatback upright and the lap por-

tion of the seat belt snug and low

across the hips. This is the best

position to protect you in case of

an accident.

• In order to avoid unnecessary

and perhaps severe air bag

injuries, always sit as far back as

possible from the steering wheel

while maintaining comfortable

control of the vehicle. We recom-

mend that your chest be at least

250 mm (10 inches) away from

the steering wheel.

WARNING - Rear seat-

backs

• When resetting the seatback to

the upright position, make sure it

is securely latched by pushing it

forward and backwards.

• The rear seatback must be

securely latched. If not, passen-

gers and objects could be thrown

forward resulting in serious

injury or death in the event of a

sudden stop or collision.

WARNING

• Luggage and other cargo should

be laid flat in the cargo area. If

objects are large, heavy, or must

be piled, they must be secured.

Under no circumstances should

cargo be piled higher than the

seatbacks. Failure to follow these

warnings could result in serious

injury or death in the event of a

sudden stop, collision or rollover.

After adjusting the seat, always

check that it is securely locked into

place by attempting to move the

seat forward or backward without

using the lock release lever.

Sudden or unexpected movement

of the driver's seat could cause you

to lose control of the vehicle result-

ing in an accident.

moving. All passengers must be

properly seated in seats and

restrained properly while riding.

2. Slide the seat to the position you

desire.

3. Release the lever and make sure the

seat is locked in place.

Seatback angle

To recline the seatback:

Seat cushion height (for driver’s seat)

(if equipped)

The driver's and front passenger's seats

are equipped with a headrest for the

push the lever that is located on the out-

side of the seat cushion upwards or

downwards.

1. Lean forward slightly and press down

on the seatback recline lever located

on the outside of the seat at the rear.

The headrest not only provides comfort

for the driver and front passenger, but

also helps to protect the head and neck

in the event of a collision.

2. Carefully lean back on the seat and

adjust the seatback of the seat to the

position you desire.

• To lower the seat cushion, push the

lever down several times.

• To raise the seat cushion, pull the lever

up several times.

seatback is locked in place. (The lever

MUST return to its original position for

the seatback to lock.)

Safety features of your vehicle

WARNING

• 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 peo-

ple'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

reason, the use of a cushion that

holds the body away from the

seatback is not recommended.

HNF2041-1

OPA037004

Active headrest (if equipped)

Adjusting the height up and down

(if equipped)

The active headrest is designed to move

forward and upward during a rear impact.

This helps prevent the driver's and front

passenger’s heads from moving back-

ward and thus helps minimize neck

injuries.

To raise the headrest, pull it up to the

desired position (1). To lower the head-

rest, push and hold the release button (2)

on the headrest support and lower the

headrest to the desired position (3).

• Do not operate the vehicle with

the headrests removed as severe

injury to the occupants may

occur in the event of an accident.

Headrests may provide protec-

tion against neck injuries when

properly adjusted.

WARNING

A gap between the seat and the

headrest release button may

appear when seating on the seat or

when you push or pull the seat. Be

careful not to get your finger, etc.

caught in the gap.

• Do not adjust the headrest height

while the vehicle is in motion.

• When cleaning the seats, do not

use an organic solvent such as

thinner, benzene, alcohol and

gasoline. Doing so may damage

cushions or seat covers on the

seats while the seat warmer is in

operation.

To reinstall the headrest, put the head-

rest poles (3) into the holes while press-

ing the release button (1). Then adjust it

to the appropriate height.

During mild weather or under conditions

where the operation of the seat warmer

is not needed, keep the switches in the

OFF position.

This could result in serious injury

or death in case of an accident or

sudden stop. Objects carried on the

folded down seatback should not

extend higher than the top of the

it can go then press the release button

(1) while pulling upward (2).

To reinstall the headrest, put the head-

rest poles (3) into the holes while press-

ing the release button (1). Then adjust it
