Seats

Front Seats

Adjust the driver’s seat as far back as possible
while allowing you to maintain full control of
the vehicle. You should be able to sit upright,
well back in the seat and be able to
adequately press the pedals without leaning
forward, and grip the steering wheel
comfortably. The passenger’s seat should be
adjusted in a similar manner, so that it is as far
back from the front airbag in the dashboard
as possible.

1

Seats

In addition to the seat adjustment, you can adjust the
steering wheel up and down, in and out. Allow at
least 25 cm (10 inches) between the centre of the
steering wheel and the chest.

Always make seat adjustments before driving.

3

WARNING

Sitting too close to a front airbag can result
in serious injury or death if the front
airbags inflate.

Always sit as far back from the front
airbags as possible while maintaining
control of the vehicle.

Move back to allow sufficient
space.

Adjust the driver's seat-back to a comfortable,
upright position, leaving ample space
between your chest and the airbag cover in
the centre of the steering wheel.

The front seat passenger should also adjust
their seat-back to a comfortable, upright
position.

Reclining a seat-back so that the shoulder part of the belt no longer rests against the
occupant's chest reduces the protective capability of the belt. It also increases the
chance of sliding under the belt in a crash and being seriously injured. The farther a
seat-back is reclined, the greater the risk of injury.

■

Adjusting the Seat-Backs

1

Adjusting the Seat-Backs

Do not put a cushion, or other object, between the
seat-back and your back.

Doing so may interfere with proper seat belt or airbag
operation.

If you cannot get far enough away from the steering
wheel and still reach the controls, we recommend
that you investigate whether some type of adaptive
equipment may help.

3

WARNING

Reclining the seat-back too far can result in
serious injury or death in a crash.

Adjust the seat-back to an upright position,
and sit well back in the seat.

Folding Down the Rear Seats

When returning the seat-back to its original position,
push it firmly back. Also, make sure all rear shoulder
belts are positioned in front of the seat-back.

Make sure all items in the luggage area or items
extending through the opening into the rear
seats are properly secured. Loose items can fly
forward if you have to brake hard.

Maintain a Proper Sitting Position

After all occupants have adjusted their seats and head restraints, and put on their
seat belts, it is very important that they continue to sit upright, well back in their
seats, with their feet on the floor, until the vehicle is safely parked and the power
mode is off.

Sitting improperly can increase the chance of injury during a crash. For example, if
an occupant slouches, lies down, turns sideways, sits forward, leans forward or
sideways, or puts one or both feet up, the chance of injury during a crash is greatly
increased.

In addition, an occupant who is out of position in the front seat can be seriously or
fatally injured in a crash by striking interior parts of the vehicle or being struck by an
inflating front airbag.

Rear Seat Reminder

The system does not detect passengers in the rear
seat(s).
Instead, it can detect when a rear door is opened and
closed, indicating that there may be something in the
rear seat(s).

You can turn off the notification setting.

Head Restraints

Head Restraints

Your vehicle is equipped with head restraints in all seating positions.

Head restraints are most effective for
protection against whiplash and other rear-
impact crash injuries when the centre of the
back of the occupant's head rests against the
centre of the restraint. The tops of the
occupant's ears should be level with the
centre height of the restraint.

To raise the head restraint:

Pull it upward.

To lower the head restraint:

Push it down

while pressing the release button.

■

Adjusting the Front Head Restraints

Adjusting the Front Head Restraints

In order for the head restraint system to work
properly:

•

Do not hang any items on the head restraints, or
from the restraint legs.

•

Do not place any objects between an occupant and
the seat-back.

•

Install each restraint in its proper location.

3

WARNING

Improperly positioning head restraints
reduces their effectiveness and increases
the likelihood of serious injury in a crash.

Make sure head restraints are in place and
positioned properly before driving.

Position head in the centre of the
head restraint.
