SeatsSITTING CORRECTLY
The seats, head restraints, seat belts and 
airbags all contribute to the protection of the 
occupants. Optimal use of these components 
will give you more protection. Therefore, 
observe the following points:
•Sit in the most upright position with the 
base of your spine as far back as possible 
and the backrest not reclined more than 
30 degrees.
•Adjust the head restraints so that the top of 
the head restraint is level with the upper 
portion of the head.
•Do not move the front seat too close to the 
instrument panel. The driver should hold the 
steering wheel with slightly bent arms. The 
legs should also be slightly bent so that the 
pedals can be pressed to the floor.
•The seat belt should rest in the center of the 
shoulder. The lap part should fit tightly 
across the hips and not on the stomach.
POWER OPERATED FRONT SEATS
WARNING
To avoid the risk of loss of control and 
personal injury, DO NOT adjust the drivers 
seat while the vehicle is in motion.
The seat adjustment controls are situated on 
the outboard side of the seat plinth.
The driver and front passenger seats should be 
positioned as far rearward as practical. Ideally 
the seat should be positioned so that the 
steering wheel can be held with the arms 
slightly bent and the seat back in a nearly 
upright position.
Make sure your driving position is comfortable 
and enables you to maintain full control of the 
vehicle. A properly adjusted seat helps reduce 
the risk of injury from sitting too close to an 
inflating airbag.

Forward/backward adjustment
Push and hold the switch forwards or 
backwards to move the seat to the desired 
position.Seat back adjustment
Twist the switch forward or backward until the 
desired seat back angle is achieved.
WARNING
DO NOT travel with the seat backs reclined 
steeply rearwards. Optimum benefit is 
obtained from the seat belt with the seat back 
set to an angle of not more than 30 degrees 
from the upright (vertical).
Failure to maintain the correct seat back 
angle will reduce the effectiveness of the seat 
belts and increase the risk of serious injury or 
death in a crash.

WARNING
An inflating airbag can cause facial abrasions

that the driver and passenger are seated 
correctly, with the seat moved back as far as 
is practical, and the seat belts worn correctly.Seat cushion angle adjustment
Twist the front of the switch to tilt the seat 
cushion to the desired position. Note that the 
front and rear of the switch work independently 
- the front tilting the front of the cushion, the

Head restraint adjustment*
Push the switch up or down until the head 
restraint cushion is level with the back of the 
head.
WARNING
Head restraints are designed to support the 
back of the head (NOT THE NECK), and to 
restrain rearward movement of the head in 
the event of a collision. The restraint must be 
positioned level with the head to be effective.
DO NOT drive or carry passengers with the 
head restraints removed from occupied seats, 
or adjust the head restraints while the vehicle 
is in motion.
Failure to have the head restraint installed 
and properly positioned will increase the 
potential for serious injuries.
FOLDING ARMRESTS

seat armrests, which can be either; stowed 
vertically in line with the seat backrest when not 
required, or folded horizontally to serve as an 
arm/elbow rest.

adjusted by turning the knob set into the end of 
the armrest: clockwise to raise and
