WARNING

■

When adjusting the seat position

●

Take care when adjusting the seat

position to ensure that other passen-

gers are not injured by the moving

seat.

●

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.

■

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 control

of the vehicle.

Linked mirror function when reversing

(if equipped)

When either “L” or “R” of the mirror select

switch is selected, the outside rear view mir-

rors will automatically angle downwards

when the vehicle is reversing in order to

give a better view of the ground.

To disable this function, select neither “L”

nor “R”.
To set the mirror angle used when the vehi-

cle is reversing, adjust the mirror angle at a

desired position with the shift lever in R.
The adjusted angle will be memorized and

the mirror will automatically tilt to the mem-

orized angle whenever the shift lever is

shifted to R from next time.
The memorized downward tilt position of

the mirror is linked to the normal position

(angle adjusted with the shift lever in other

than R). Therefore, if the normal position is

changed after adjustment, the tilt position

will also change.
When the normal position is changed, read-

just the angle in reversing.

Push the mirror back in the direction of
the vehicle’s rear.
