You will find many safety precautions
and recommendations throughout
this section, and throughout this man-
ual. The safety precautions in this sec-
tion are among the most important.

Always wear your seat belt

A seat belt is your best protection in
all types of accidents. Air bags are
designed to supplement seat belts,
not replace them. So even though
your vehicle is equipped with air
bags, ALWAYS make sure you and
your passengers wear your seat
belts, and wear them properly.

Restrain all children

All children under age 13 should ride
in your vehicle properly restrained in
a rear seat, not the front seat. Infants
and small children should be
restrained in an appropriate child
restraint. Larger children should use
a booster seat with the lap/shoulder
belt until they can use the seat belt
properly without a booster seat.

Air bag hazards

While air bags can save lives, they
can also cause serious or fatal
injuries to occupants who sit too
close to them, or who are not prop-
erly restrained. Infants, young chil-
dren, and shorter adults are at the
greatest risk of being injured by an
inflating air bag. Follow all instruc-
tions and warnings in this manual.

Driver distraction

Driver distraction presents a serious
and potentially deadly danger, espe-
cially for inexperienced drivers.
Safety should be the first concern
when behind the wheel and drivers
need to be aware of the wide array of
potential distractions, such as drowsi-
ness, reaching for objects, eating,
personal grooming, other passen-
gers, and using cellular phones.
Drivers can become distracted when
they take their eyes and attention off
the road or their hands off the wheel
to focus on activities other than driv-
ing. To reduce your risk of distraction
or getting into an accident:
• ALWAYS set up your mobile

devices (i.e., MP3 players, phones,
navigation units, etc.) when your
vehicle is parked or safely stopped.

IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

3 3

Safety features of your vehicle

• ONLY use your mobile device

when allowed by laws and when
conditions permit safe use. NEVER
text or email while driving. Most
states have laws prohibiting drivers
from texting. Some states and
cities also prohibit drivers from
using handheld phones.

• NEVER let the use of a mobile

device distract you from driving.
You have a responsibility to your
passengers and others on the road
to always drive safely, with your
hands on the wheel as well as your
eyes and attention on the road.

Control your speed

Excessive speed is a major factor in
crash injuries and deaths. Generally,
the higher the speed, the greater the
risk, but serious injuries can also
occur at lower speeds. Never drive
faster than is safe for current condi-
tions, regardless of the maximum
speed posted.

Keep your vehicle in safe con-
dition

Having a tire blowout or a mechani-
cal failure can be extremely haz-
ardous. To reduce the possibility of
such problems, check your tire pres-
sures and condition frequently, and
perform all regularly scheduled
maintenance.

WARNING

- Loose

objects

Do not place anything in the dri-
ver's foot well or under the front
seats. Loose objects in the dri-
ver's foot area could interfere
with the operation of the foot
pedals.

WARNING

- Driver respon-

sibility for passengers

The driver must advise the pas-
sengers to keep the seatback in
an upright position whenever
the vehicle is in motion. If a seat
is reclined during an accident,
the restraint system's ability to
restrain will be greatly reduced.

WARNING

- Seat cushion

Occupants should never sit on
aftermarket seat cushions or sit-
ting cushions. The passenger's
hips may slide under the lap por-
tion of the seat belt during an
accident or a sudden stop.

WARNING

- Rear seatbacks

Always lock the rear seatback
before driving. Failure to do so
could result in passengers or
objects being thrown forward
injuring vehicle occupants.

WARNING

- Luggage and

Cargo

Do not stack pile or stack lug-
gage or cargo higher than the
seatback in the cargo area. In an
accident the cargo could strike
and injury a passenger.

If

objects are large, heavy or must
be piled, they must be secured
in the cargo area.

WARNING

- Cargo Area

Do not allow passengers to ride
in the cargo area under any cir-
cumstance. The cargo area is
solely for the purpose of trans-
porting luggage or cargo.

WARNING

- Driver’s seat

• Never attempt to adjust the

seat while the vehicle is mov-
ing. This could result in loss
of control of your vehicle.

• Do not allow anything to inter-

fere with the normal position
of the seatback. Storing items
against the seatback could
result in serious or fatal injury
in a sudden stop or collision.

• Sit as far back as possible from

the steering wheel while still
maintaining comfortable con-
trol of the your vehicle. A dis-
tance of at least 10" from your
chest to the steering wheel is
recommended. Failure to do so
can result in air bag inflation
injuries to the driver.

Feature of Seat Leather

• Leather is made from the outer

skin of an animal, which goes
through a special process to be
available for use. Since it is a nat-
ural substance, each part differs in
thickness or density.
Wrinkles may appear as a natural
result of stretching and shrinking
depending on the temperature and
humidity.

• The seat is made of stretchable

fabric to improve comfort.

• The parts contacting the body are

curved and the side supporting
area is high which provides driving
comfort and stability.

• Wrinkles may appear naturally

from usage. It is not a fault of the
product.

✽

✽

NOTICE

Wrinkles or abrasions which appear
naturally from usage are not cov-
ered by warranty.

CAUTION

• Belts with metallic acces-

sories, zippers or keys inside
your back pants pocket may
damage the seat fabric.

• Make sure not to wet the seat.

It may change the nature of
natural leather.

• Jeans or clothes which con-

tain bleach may contaminate
the surface of the seat cover-
ing fabric and cause damage
or discoloration.

WARNING

- Seat

adjustment

• Do not adjust the seat while

wearing seat belts. Moving the
seat forward will cause strong
pressure on the abdomen.

• Do not place your hand near

the seat bottom or seat track
while adjusting the seat. Your
hand could get caught in the
seat mechanism.

WARNING

- Small

Objects

Use extreme caution when pick-
ing up small objects trapped
under the seats or between the
seat and the center console.
Your hands might be cut or
injured by the sharp edges of
the seats mechanism.

Front seat adjustment - power

The front seat can be adjusted by
using the control switches located on
the outside of the seat cushion.
Before driving, adjust the seat to the
proper position so you can easily con-
trol the steering wheel, pedals and
switches on the instrument panel.

When in operation, the power seat-
consumes a large amount of electri-
cal power. To prevent unnecessary
system drain, don’t adjust the power
seat longer than necessary while the
engine is not running.

Forward and backward

Push the control switch forward or
backward to move the seat to the
desired position. When the control
switch is operated forward, the seat
cushion is slightly raised, and the
seat cushion lowered when the
switch is operated backward.
Release the switch once the seat
reaches the desired position.

OCK037004

CAUTION

- Power seat

adjustments

The power seating controls
function by electronic motor.
Excessive operation may cause
damage to the electrical equip-
ment.

CAUTION

- Power Seating

Do not operate two or more
power seat control switches at
the same time. Doing so may
damage the power seat motor or
electrical components.

WARNING
