● Do not put your hands under the seat
or near the moving parts to avoid
injury.
Fingers or hands may become
jammed in the seat mechanism.
● Make sure to leave enough space
around the feet so they do not get
stuck.
● Do not allow the front passenger seat
to touch the ceiling or sun visor. If the
front passenger seat touch the ceiling
or sun visor, the SRS airbags may not
properly operate, resulting in death or
serious injury.
■ Seat adjustment
To reduce the risk of sliding under the lap
belt during a collision, do not recline the
seat more than necessary.
If the seat is too reclined, the lap belt may
slide past the hips and apply restraint
forces directly to the abdomen, or your
neck may contact the shoulder belt,
increasing the risk of death or serious
injury in the event of an accident.
Adjustments should not be made while
driving as the seat may unexpectedly
move and cause the driver to lose con-
trol of the vehicle.
■ Operating the front passenger’s seat
from the driver’s seat or rear seat (4-
passenger models)
Do not operate the front passenger’s
seat when a passenger is seated in it. In
addition, do not let anyone sit down in the
front passenger’s seat while the seat is
being operated or when the head
restraint is being folded. The front pas-
senger may catch their legs between the
instrument panel and seat, or the head
restraint may interfere with their head,
resulting in injury.
■ When the front passenger’s seat is
folded forward (4-passenger models)
If the outside rear view mirror is difficult
to see, due to the position of the front
passenger’s seat, move the front passen-
ger’s seat to an appropriate position.
Doing so may lead to mishandling of the
vehicle and cause an accident, resulting
in death or serious injury.
■ Operating the front passenger’s seat
from the driver’s seat or rear seat (4-
passenger models)
Before operating the front passenger’s
seat, make sure that there is no luggage
or any other objects on the seat or in the
footwell that could prevent its operation.
Such items may result in excess force
being applied, causing damage to the
seat and/or the luggage.
