Air bags

Safety precautions

You can take steps to reduce the risk

of being injured by an inflating air bag.

Sitting too close to an air bag greatly

increases the risk of injury in the event

the air bag inflates. Move your seat as

far back as possible from front air bags,

whilst still maintaining control of the

vehicle.

Adjusting the seats so that you are

sitting in a safe, comfortable position

plays an important role for the safety

of the driver and passengers, along

with seat belts and air bags when in an

accident.

WARNING

Do not use a cushion that reduces

friction between the seat and the

passenger. The passenger’s hips may

slide under the lap portion of the seat

belt during an accident or a sudden

stop. Serious or fatal internal injuries

could result because the seat belt

cannot operate properly.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of serious injury or

death from an inflating air bag, take the

following precautions:

śꢀ Adjust the driver’s seat as far to the

rear as possible whilst maintaining

the ability to maintain full control of

the vehicle.

śꢀ Adjust the front passenger seat as far

to the rear as possible.

śꢀ Hold the steering wheel by the rim

with hands at the 9 o’clock and 3

o’clock positions to minimise the risk

of injuries to your hands and arms.

śꢀ NEVER place anything or anyone

between the air bag.

śꢀ Do not allow the front passenger to

place feet or legs on the dashboard

to minimise the risk of leg injuries.

Safety system

Seat belts

Always fasten your seat belt before

starting any trip.

At all times, passengers should sit

upright and be properly restrained.

Infants and small children must be

restrained in appropriate Child Restraint

Systems. Children who have outgrown

a booster seat and adults must be

restrained using the seat belts.

Front seats

The front seat can be adjusted by using

the control lever or switches located on

the outside of the seat cushion. Before

driving, adjust the seat to the proper

position so that you can easily control

the steering wheel, foot pedals and

controls on the instrument panel.

WARNING

Take the following precautions when

WARNING

Take the following precautions when

adjusting your seat belt:

śꢀ NEVER use one seat belt for more

than one occupant.

śꢀ Always position the seatback upright

with the lap portion of the seat belt

snug and low across the hips.

śꢀ NEVER allow children or small infants

to ride in a passenger’s lap.

śꢀ Do not route the seat belt across your

neck, across sharp edges, or reroute

the shoulder strap away from your

body.

adjusting your seat:

śꢀ NEVER attempt to adjust the seat

whilst the vehicle is moving. The

seat could respond with unexpected

movement and may cause loss

of vehicle control resulting in an

accident.

śꢀ Do not place anything under the front

seats. Loose objects in the driver’s

foot area could interfere with the

operation of the foot pedals, causing

an accident.

śꢀ Do not allow anything to interfere

with the normal position and proper

locking of the seatback.

śꢀ Do not place a cigarette lighter on

the floor or seat. When you operate

the seat, gas may exit out of the

lighter causing a fire.

śꢀ Do not allow the seat belt to become

caught or jammed.

śꢀ Use extreme caution when picking

small objects trapped under the seats

or between the seat and the centre

console. Your hands might be cut or

injured by the sharp edges of the seat

mechanism.

śꢀ If there are occupants in the rear

seats, be careful whilst adjusting the

front seat position.

Forward and rearward adjustment

śꢀ Make sure that the seat is locked in

place after the adjustment. If not,

the seat might move unexpectedly

resulting in an accident.

CAUTION

To prevent injury:

śꢀ Do not adjust your seat whilst

wearing your seat belt. Moving the

seat cushion forward may cause

strong pressure on your abdomen.

śꢀ Do not allow your hands or fingers to

get caught in the seat mechanisms

whilst the seat is moving.

OBC3030002R

To move the seat forward or rearward:

1. Pull up the seat slide adjustment lever

and hold it.

2. Slide the seat to the position you

desire.

3. Release the lever and make sure the

seat is locked in place. Move forward

and rearward without using the lever.

If the seat moves, it is not locked

properly.

Safety system

Reclining seatback

Seatback angle

Sitting in a reclined position when the

vehicle is in motion can be dangerous.

Even when buckled up, the protections

of your restraint system (seat belts

and/or air bags) is greatly reduced by

reclining your seatback.

WARNING

NEVER ride with a reclined seatback

when the vehicle is moving.

Riding with a reclined seatback

increases your chance of serious or

fatal injuries in the event of a collision

or sudden stop.

OBC3030003R

To recline the seatback:

1. Lean forward slightly and lift up the

seatback lever.

Drivers and passengers should ALWAYS

sit well back in their seats, properly

belted, and with the seatbacks upright.

2. Carefully lean back on the seat and

adjust the seatback to the position you

desire.

3. Release the lever and make sure the

seatback is locked in place. (The lever

MUST return to its original position for

the seatback to lock.)

Seat belts must be snug against your

hips and chest to work properly. When

the seatback is reclined, the shoulder

belt cannot do its job because it will not

be snug against your chest. Instead, it

will be in front of you.

During an accident, you could be twined

around the seat belt, causing neck or

other injuries.

The more the seatback is reclined,

the greater chance the passenger’s

hips will slide under the lap belt or the

passenger’s neck will strike the shoulder

belt.

Rear seats (if equipped)

The rear seatbacks can be folded to

facilitate carrying long items or to

increase the luggage capacity of the

vehicle.

WARNING

śꢀ Never allow passengers to sit on top

of the folded down seatback whilst

the vehicle is moving. This is not a

proper seating position and no seat

belts are available for use. This could

result in serious injury or death in

case of an accident or sudden stop.

OAC3039006TU

śꢀ Objects carried on the folded down

seatback should not extend higher

than the top of the front seatbacks.

This could allow cargo to slide

forward and cause injury or damage

during sudden stops.

OAC3039007TU

1. Set the front seatback to the upright

position and if necessary, slide the

front seat forward.

2. Lower the rear head restraints to the

lowest position (if equipped with

adjustable head restraints).

4.Pull up the seatback lever and fold

the seatback toward the front of the

vehicle.

To use the rear seat, lift and push up the

seatback backward. Push the seatback

firmly until it clicks into place. Make sure

the seatback is locked in place.

When returning the rear seatbacks to

the upright position, remember to return

the rear shoulder belts to their proper

position.

OAI3039010

3. Insert the rear lap/shoulder belt plate

into the holder on the side trim. It will

prevent the lap/shoulder belt from

interfering with the seatback when

folding.

WARNING

When you return the rear seatback to

its upright position after being folded

down:

Cargo

Cargo should always be secured to

prevent it from being thrown about the

vehicle in a collision and causing injury

to the vehicle occupants. Do not place

objects in the rear seats, since they

cannot be properly secured and may hit

the front seat occupants in a collision.

Be careful not to damage the seat belt

webbing or buckle. Do not allow the

seat belt webbing or buckle to get

caught or pinched in the rear seat.

Ensure that the seatback is completely

locked into its upright position by

pushing on the top of the seatback.

Otherwise, in an accident or sudden

stop, the seat could fold down and

allow cargo to enter the passenger

compartment, which could result in

serious injury or death.

WARNING

Cargo loading

Make sure the engine is off, the

Automatic transmission/Dual clutch

transmission is in N (Neutral) or the

Manual transmission is in R (Reverse)

or the 1st gear, and the parking brake is

securely applied whenever loading or

unloading cargo. Failure to take these

steps may allow the vehicle to move if

the shift lever is inadvertently moved to

another position.

NOTICE

śꢀ When returning the rear seatbacks

to the upright position, remember to

return the rear shoulder belts to their

proper position.

śꢀ Routing the seat belt webbing

through the rear seat belt guides will

help keep the seat belts from being

trapped behind or under the seats.
