Easy access function (if equipped)

To provide easier entry to or exit from
the vehicle for a driver, the driver’s
seat will be adjusted backwards as
far as the distance set by User
Setting on the Instrument Panel. This
occurs when the driver’s door is
opened and the Engine start/stop
button is Off with the shift lever in the
P position. If, however, the distance
between the front seat and back
seats are too close, the driver’s seat
could fail to adjust itself backwards.
The steering wheel moves to the top.
With the steering wheel moving as far
as top and as far as forward to a driv-
er on a regular basis steering wheel
identifies and adjusts its location by
itself.

The driver’s seat and steering wheel
will move back to its original position
when a driver closes a driver’s door
with a smart key in his pocket and
the engine start/stop button is in OFF
or in ACC.
You can activate or deactivate this
feature. Refer to “User settings” in
chapter 4.

Safety features of your vehicle

For maximum effectiveness in case
of an accident, the headrest should
be adjusted so the middle of the
headrest is at the same height of the
center of gravity of an occupant's
head. Generally, the center of gravity
of most people's head is similar with
the height of the top of their eyes.
Also, adjust the headrest as close to
your head as possible. For this rea-
son, the use of a cushion that holds
the body away from the seatback is
not recommended.

Adjusting the height up and down

To raise the headrest, pull it up to the
desired position (1). To lower the
headrest, push and hold the release
button (2) on the headrest support
and lower the headrest to the desired
position (3).

WARNING

- Headrest

removal/adjustment

• Do not operate the vehicle

with the headrests removed.

crash.

• Do not adjust the headrest

height while the vehicle is in
motion. Driver may lose con-
trol of the vehicle.

CAUTION

Excessive pulling or pushing
may damage the headrest.

from the seatback.

Folding the rear seat (if equipped)

The rear seatbacks may be folded to
facilitate carrying long items or to
increase the luggage capacity of the
vehicle.

To fold down the rear seatback
1. Make sure the rear seat belt web-

bing is in the guide to prevent the
seat belt from being damaged.

2. Set the front seatback to the

upright position and if necessary,
slide the front seat forward.

3. Lower the rear headrests to the

lowest position.

4. Pull on the seatback folding

lever(1), then fold the seat toward
the front of the vehicle.

OCK037019N

OCK037067

WARNING

The purpose of the fold-down
rear seatbacks is to allow you to
carry longer objects than could
not otherwise be accommodated.
Never allow passengers to sit
on top of the folded down seat-
back while the car is moving as
this is not a proper seating
position and no seat belts are
available for use. This could
result in serious injury or death
in case of an accident or sud-
den stop. Objects carried on the
folded down seatback should
not extend higher than the top
of the front seats. This could
allow cargo to slide forward and
cause injury or damage during
sudden stops.

5. To use the rear seat, lift and push

the seatback backward. Push the
seat back firmly until it clicks into
place. Make sure the seatback is
locked in place.

6. Return the rear seat belt to the

proper position.

WARNING

After folding the rear seat,
unless the driver’s position is
properly set according to the
driver’s physical figure, do not
fold the rear seat. It may
increase body injuries in a sud-
den stop or collision.

WARNING -

Uprighting
seat

When you return the seatback
to its upright position, hold the
seatback and return it slowly. If
the seatback is returned with-
out holding it, the back of the
seat could spring forward
resulting in injury caused by
being struck by the seatback.

WARNING

When you return the rear seat-
back to its upright position after
being folded down:
Be careful not to damage the
seat belt webbing or buckle. Do
not allow the seat belt webbing
or buckle to get caught or
pinched in the rear seat. Ensure
that the seatback is completely
locked into its upright position
by pushing on the top of the
seatback. Otherwise, in an acci-
dent or sudden stop, the seat
could fold down and allow
cargo enter the passenger com-
partment, which could result in
serious injury or death.

CAUTION

Be careful when loading cargo
through the rear passenger
seats to prevent damage to the
vehicle interior.

OCK037068

Safety features of your vehicle

WARNING -

Objects

Objects carried on the folded
down seatback should not extend
higher than the top of the front
seatbacks. This could allow cargo
to slide forward and cause injury
or damage during sudden stops.

WARNING -

Cargo loading

Make sure the engine is off, the
transaxle is in P (Park) and the
parking brake is securely applied
whenever loading or unloading
cargo. Failure to take these steps
may allow the vehicle to move if
the shift lever is inadvertently
moved to another position.

WARNING

- Cargo

Cargo should always be
secured to prevent it from being
thrown about the vehicle in a
collision and causing injury to
the vehicle occupants. Do not
place objects in the rear seats,
since they cannot be properly
secured and may hit the front
seat occupants in a collision.

CAUTION

- Rear seat

belts

When returning the rear seat-
backs to the upright position,
remember to return the rear
shoulder belts to their proper
position.

CAUTION -

Damaging

rear seat belt buckles

When you fold the rear seat-
back, insert the buckle between
the rear seatback and cushion.
Doing so can prevent the buckle
from being damaged by the rear
seatback.

SEAT BELTS

Seat belt restraint system

• For maximum restraint system pro-

tection, the seat belts must always
be used whenever the vehicle is
moving. A properly positioned
shoulder belt should be positioned
midway over your shoulder across
your collarbone.

• Never allow children to ride in the

front passenger seat. See child
restraint system section for further
discussion.

Seat belts are designed to bear upon
the bony structure of the body, and
should be worn low across the front
of the pelvis, chest and shoulders, as
applicable; wearing the lap section of
the belt across the abdominal area
must be avoided.
Seat belts should be adjusted as
firmly as possible, consistent with
comfort, to provide the protection for
which they have been designed.
A slack belt will greatly reduce the
protection afforded to the wearer.
Care should be taken to avoid con-
tamination of the webbing with pol-
ishes, oils and chemicals, and partic-
ularly battery acid. Cleaning may
safely be carried out using mild soap
and water. The belt should be
replaced if webbing becomes frayed,
contaminated or damaged.
• No modifications or additions

should be made by the user which
would either prevent the seat belt
adjusting devices from operating to
remove slack, or prevent the seat
belt assembly from being adjusted
to remove slack.

WARNING

- Damaged

seat belt

Replace the entire seat belt
assembly if any part of the web-
bing or hardware is damaged as
you can no longer be sure that a
damaged seat belt will provide
protection in a crash.

WARNING

- Twisted seat

belt

Make sure your seat belt is not
twisted when worn. A twisted
seat belt may not properly pro-
tect you in an accident and
could even cut into your body.

WARNING

- Shoulder Belt

• Never wear the shoulder belt

under your arm or behind
your back. An improperly
positioned shoulder belt can-
not protect the occupant in a
crash.

• Always wear both the shoul-

der portion and lap portion of
the lap/shoulder belt.

3 23

Safety features of your vehicle

• When you fasten the seat belt, be

careful not to latch the seat belt in
buckles of other seat. It's very dan-
gerous and you may not be pro-
tected by the seat belt properly.

• Do not unfasten the seat belt and

do not fasten and unfasten the seat
belt repeatedly while driving. This
could result in loss of control, and
an accident causing death, serious
injury, or property damage.

• When fastening the seat belt,

make sure that the seat belt does
not pass over objects that are hard
or can break easily.
