WARNING

WARNING - Driver’s seat

• Always drive and ride with

your seatback upright and the

lap portion of the seat belt, or

lap belt, snug and low across

the hips. This position puts

your seat belts in the best

position to protect you in case

of an accident.

• Loose objects in the driver’s

foot area could interfere with

the operation of the foot ped-

als, possibly causing an acci-

dent. Loose objects might

interfere with the seat slide

mechanism. Do not place any-

thing under the front seats.

• Never attempt to adjust seat

while the vehicle is moving.

This could result in loss of

control, and an accident caus-

ing death, serious injury, or

property damage.

• Do not allow anything to inter-

fere 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 col-

lision.

• In order to avoid unnecessary

air bag injuries including the

possibility of severe injury or

death, always sit as far back

as possible from the steering

wheel so that your chest is

away at least 250 mm (10 inch-

es) away from the steering

wheel.

• Children should never be left

unattended in the car.

WARNING

Driving or riding in a vehicle

with a front seatback reclined

could lead to serious or fatal

injury in an accident. If a front

seat is reclined during an acci-

dent, the occupant’s hips may

slide under the lap portion of

the seat belt applying great

force to the unprotected

abdomen or neck. Serious or

fatal internal injuries could

result. Keep the seatbacks in a

comfortably upright position

whenever the vehicle is in

motion.

OED036018

Adjusting the seatback recliner

Lumbar support (if equipped)

To recline the seatback, rotate the

knob forward or rearward to the

desired angle.

You can adjust the lumbar support by

moving the lever on the side of seat-

back.

Pivoting the lever toward the front of

the vehicle increases the lumbar

support.

Pivoting the lever toward the rear of

the vehicle decreases the lumbar

support.

NOTICE

WARNING

ꢀ If the seat warmer doesn't work

when the ambient temperature is

below 21 °C (70 °F), have the sys-

tem checked by an authorized

dealer.

ꢀ When cleaning the seats, do not

use an organic solvent such as

thinner, benzene, alcohol and

gasoline. Doing so may damage

the surface of the heater or seats.

ꢀ To prevent overheating the seat

warmer, do not place blankets,

cushions or seat covers on the

seats while the seat warmer is in

operation.

Passengers should use extreme

caution when using seat warm-

ers due to the possibility of

excess heating or burns. In par-

ticular, the following types of

passengers should exercise

extreme care:

1. Infants, children, elderly or

handicapped persons, or hos-

pital outpatients

OED036019

Seat warmer (if equipped)

2. Persons with sensitive skin or

those that burn easily

The front seats can be electrically

heated individually when the ignition

switch is ON. When you depress the

seat warmer switch, a thermostat

regulates seat temperature. Each

time you push the button the temper-

ature setting of the seat changes. To

deactivate the heating system,

depress the switch until the indicator

light on the button turns off.

3. Fatigued individuals

4. Intoxicated individuals

ꢀ Do not place heavy or sharp

objects on seats equipped with

seat warmers. Damage to the seat

warming components could occur.

that can cause drowsiness or

sleepiness (sleeping pills,

cold tablets, etc.)
