Seats

Part 1

While the vehicle is being driven, all ve-

hicle occupants should have the seatback

upright, sit well back in the seat and prop-

erly wear the seat belts provided.

Adjust the driver’s seat so that the foot

pedals, steering wheel and instrument

panel controls are within easy reach of

the driver.

OPERATION OF

INSTRUMENTS AND

CONTROLS—

CAUTION

D Adjustments should not be made

while the vehicle is moving, as the

seat may unexpectedly move and

cause the driver to lose control of

the vehicle.

Chapter 1−3

D Do not drive the vehicle unless the

occupants are properly seated. Do

properly seated and not property re-

strained by seat belts can be se-

verely injured in the event of emer-

gency braking or a collision.

D When adjusting the seat, be careful

not to hit the seat against a pas-

senger or luggage.

—Adjusting front seats

1. SEAT POSITION ADJUSTING LEVER

D While adjusting the seat, do not put

your hands under the seat or near

the moving parts. You may jam

your hands or fingers.

Pull the lever up. Then slide the seat

to the desired position with slight body

pressure and release the lever.

2. SEATBACK ANGLE ADJUSTING

LEVER

Lean forward and pull the lever up.

Then lean back to the desired angle

and release the lever.

CAUTION

To reduce the risk of sliding under

the lap belt during a collision, avoid

reclining the seatback any more than

needed. The seat belts provide maxi-

mum protection in a frontal or rear

collision when the driver and the pas-

senger are sitting up straight and

well back in the seats. If you are

reclined, the lap belt may slide past

your hips and apply restraint forces

directly to the abdomen. Therefore, in

the event of a frontal collision, the

risk of personal injury may increase

with increasing recline of the seat-

back.

Head restraints

CAUTION

When returning the seatback to the

upright position:

D Make sure the seat belts are not

twisted or caught in the seatback

and are arranged in their proper

position for ready use.

D Make sure the seatback is securely

locked by pushing forward and rear-

ward on the top of the seatback.

1. Pull up the seatback security lock

lever 1 to the unlock position.

For your safety, adjust the head re-

straint before driving.

To raise: Pull it up.

To lower: Push it down while pressing the

lock release button.

2. Pull up the lock release button 2.

3. Fold down the seatback.

Each seatback may be folded separately.

On some models, you can also move the

head restraint forward or backward. If

such adjustment is desired, pull or push

the head restraint.

This will enlarge the trunk (coupe) or lug-

gage compartment (liftback) as far as the

front seatbacks. See ”Luggage stowage

precautions” in Part 2 for precautions to

observe for loading luggage.

The head restraint is most effective when

it is close to your head. Therefore, using

a cushion on the seatback is not recom-

mended.
