—Front seat precautions

Driver seat

While the vehicle is being driven, all vehicle

occupants should have the seatback upright,

sit well back in the seat and properly wear

the seatbelts provided.

CAUTION

D The SRS driver airbag deploys with

considerable force and can cause

death or serious injury, especially if

the driver is very close to the airbag.

CAUTION

D Persons not properly seated and/or

not properly restrained by seatbelts

can be killed or severely injured in the

event of emergency braking or a colli-

sion.

D The driver airbag risk zone is the first

50—75 mm of inflation. Therefore,

placing yourself 250 mm from your

driver airbag will minimise your risk

of sustaining injuries when the airbag

inflates. This distance is measured

from the centre of the steering wheel

to your breastbone. If you sit less than

250 mm away from the driver airbag,

consider changing your driving posi-

tion in the following ways:

D Do not drive the vehicle unless the oc-

cupants are properly seated.

D Do not allow any passenger to sit on

top of a folded-down seatback, or in

the luggage compartment or cargo

area.

D Move your seat backwards as far as

you can while still reaching the pe-

dals comfortably.

D Slightly recline the back of your

seat. If reclining the back of the seat

impedes your view of the road, raise

your seat if your vehicle has that

feature.

D If your steering wheel is adjustable,

tilt it downwards. This will point the

airbag toward your chest instead of

at your head and neck.

D Always ensure that you maintain con-

trol of the foot pedals, steering wheel

and your view of the instrument panel

controls and the road.

—Seat adjustment precautions

Front passenger seat

CAUTION

D Do not adjust the seat while the vehi-

cle is moving as the seat may unex-

pectedly move and cause the driver to

lose control of the vehicle.

D The SRS front passenger airbag also

deploys with considerable force and

can cause death or serious injury, es-

pecially if the passenger is very close

to the airbag.

D Be careful that the seat does not hit

a passenger or luggage.

D To minimise the risk of sustaining in-

juries when the airbag inflates, the

front passenger seat should be as far

from the airbag as possible, with the

seatback adjusted so the front pas-

senger sits upright.

D After adjusting the seat position, re-

lease the lever and try sliding the seat

forward and backward to make sure

it is locked in position.

D After adjusting the seatback, push

your body back against the seat to

make sure the seat is locked in posi-

tion.

Front seats (with SRS side airbags)

CAUTION

D Do not put objects under the seats.

Otherwise, the objects may interfere

with the seat-lock mechanism or un-

expectedly push up the seat position

adjusting lever and the seat may

suddenly move, causing the driver to

lose control of the vehicle.

The SRS side airbags are installed in the

driver and front passenger seats. Ob-

serve the following precautions:

D Do not lean against the front doors

when the vehicle is in use. The side

airbags inflate with considerable

speed and force and you may be killed

or seriously injured if your body is in

contact with them during inflation.

D While adjusting the seat, do not put

your hands under the seat or near the

moving parts. Otherwise, your hands

or fingers may be caught and injured.

D Do not use seat accessories which

cover the area where the side airbags

inflate. Such accessories may prevent

the side airbags from activating cor-

rectly, causing death or serious injury.

D Do not modify or replace the seats or

upholstery of the seats equipped with

side airbags. Such change may pre-

vent the side airbag system from acti-

vating correctly, disable the system or

cause the side airbags to inflate acci-

dentally, resulting in death or serious

injury.

2. SEATBACK ANGLE ADJUSTING SWITCH

Move the control switch in the desired

direction.

Releasing the switch will stop the seatback

at that position.

CAUTION

D Do not recline the seatback any more

than needed. In a frontal collision, the

more the seat is reclined, the greater

the risk of death or serious injury.

D Seatbelts provide maximum protec-

tion in a frontal or rear collision when

the driver and passengers are sitting

up straight and well back in their

seats. If you are reclined, the lap belt

may slide past your hips and apply

forces directly to the abdomen or your

neck may contact the shoulder belt.

D Refer to page 46 of this manual re-

garding recommended distance be-

tween the driver/front passengers and

the SRS airbag.

Then slide the seat to the desired position

with slight body pressure and release the

lever.

The amount of lumbar support will change

while the switch is pressed.

2. SEATBACK ANGLE ADJUSTING LEVER

Lean forward and pull the lever up. Then

lean back to the desired angle and release

the lever.
