WARNING

The purpose of the fold-down rear

seatbacks is to allow you to carry

longer objects that could not be ac‐

commodated in the cargo area.

Never allow passengers to sit on top

of the folded down seatback while

the vehicle is moving. 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 sudden stop.

Objects carried on the folded down

seatback should not extend higher

than the top of the front seatbacks.

This could allow cargo to slide for‐

ward and cause injury or damage

during sudden stops.

WARNING

n 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 (2nd

and/or 3rd row) seats, since they

cannot be properly secured and may

hit the front seat occupants in a col‐

lision.

WARNING

n Cargo loading

Make sure the engine is off, the au‐

tomatic transaxle/dual clutch trans‐

mission is in P (Park) or the manual

transaxle is in R (Reverse) or 1st,

and the parking brake is securely ap‐

plied 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.

Armrest

Saýüty ýüaturüs oý your vühiclü

WARNING

• For maximum effectiveness in

case of an accident, the headrest

should be adjusted so the middle

of the headrest is at the same

height as 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 reason, the

use of a cushion that holds the

body away from the seatback is

not recommended.

• Do not operate the vehicle with

the headrests removed. Severe in‐

jury to an occupant may occur in

the event of an accident. Headr‐

ests may provide protection

against severe neck injuries when

properly adjusted.

CAUTION

When there is no occupant in the

rear seats, adjust the height of the

headrest to the lowest position. The

rear seat headrest can reduce the

visibility of the rear area.

SEAT BELTS

Seat belt restraint system

WARNING

• For maximum restraint system

protection, the seat belts must al‐

ways be used whenever the car is

moving.

• Seat belts are most effective when

seatbacks are in the upright posi‐

tion.

• Children age 12 and younger must

always be properly restrained in

the rear seat. Never allow children

to ride in the front passenger seat.

If a child over 12 must be seated in

the front seat, he/she must be

properly belted and the seat

should be moved as far back as

possible.

• Never wear the shoulder belt un‐

der your arm or behind your back.

An improperly positioned shoulder

belt can cause serious injuries in a

crash. The shoulder belt should be

positioned midway over your

shoulder across your collarbone.

(Continued)

(Continued)

• Never wear a seat belt over fragile

objects. If there is a sudden stop

or impact, the seat belt can dam‐

age it.

• Avoid wearing twisted seat belts.

A twisted belt can't do its job as

well. In a collision, it could even cut

into you. Be sure the belt webbing

is straight and not twisted.

• Be careful not to damage the belt

webbing or hardware. If the belt

webbing or hardware is damaged,

replace it.

WARNING

• Seat belts are designed to bear

upon the bony structure of the

body, and should be worn low

across the front of the pelvis or

the pelvis, chest and shoulders, as

applicable; wearing the lap section

of the belt across the abdominal

area must be avoided.

(Continued)

(Continued)

• Seat belts should be adjusted as

firmly as possible, consistent with

comfort, to provide the protection

for which they have been de‐

signed.

• A slack belt will greatly reduce the

protection afforded to the wearer.

Care should be taken to avoid con‐

tamination of the webbing with

polishes, oils and chemicals, and

particularly 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. It is essential to replace

the entire assembly after it has

been worn in a severe impact even

if damage to the assembly is not

obvious. Belts should not be worn

with straps twisted. Each belt as‐

sembly must only be used by one

occupant; it is dangerous to put a

belt around a child being carried on

the occupant's lap.

WARNING

• No modifications or additions

should be made by the user which

will either prevent the seat belt

adjusting devices from operating

to remove slack, or prevent the

seat belt assembly from being ad‐

justed to remove slack.

• When you fasten the seat belt, be

careful not to latch the seat belt in

buckles of other seat. It's very

dangerous and you may not be

protected by the seat belt proper‐

ly.

• 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, se‐

rious 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.

• Make sure there is nothing in the

buckle. The seat belt may not be

fastened securely.
