WARNING

- Driver responsibility for

passengers

The driver must advise the pas-
senger 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.

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.

Headrest (for front seat)

The driver's and front passenger's
seats are equipped with a headrest
for the occupant's safety and comfort.
The headrest not only provides com-
fort for the driver and front passen-
ger, but also helps protect the head
and neck in the event of a collision.

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 reason, 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).

OYDDSA2009

WARNING

- Headrest

removal/adjustment

• Do not operate the vehicle

with the headrests removed.
Headrests can provide critical
neck and head support in a
crash.

• Do not adjust the headrest

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