While the vehicle is being driven, all ve-

hicle occupants should have the seatback

upright, sit well back in the seat and prop-

erly wear the seat belts provided.

CAUTION

 Do not drive with the vehicle occu-

pants not properly seated, such as

sitting on top of a folded-down

seatback, or in the luggage

compartment. Persons not proper-

ly seated and not properly re-

strained by seat belts can be se-

verely injured in the event of emer-

gency braking or a collision.

 During driving, do not allow pas-

sengers to stand up or move

around between seats. Balance can

be unsteady and severe injuries

can occur in the event of emergen-

cy braking or a collision.

Adjust the driver’s seat so that the foot

pedals, steering wheel and instrument

panel controls are within easy reach of the

driver.

CAUTION

 Adjustments should not be made

while the vehicle is moving, as the

seat may unexpectedly move and

cause the driver to lose control of

the vehicle.

 When adjusting the seat, be care-

ful not to hit the seat against a pas-

senger or luggage.

 After adjusting the seat position,

try sliding it forward and backward

to make sure it is locked in posi-

tion.

 After adjusting the seatback, exert

body pressure to make sure it is

locked in position.

 Do not put objects under the seats

as they may interfere with the seat-

lock mechanism or unexpectedly

push up the seat position adjusting

lever; the seat may suddenly move,

causing the driver to lose control of

the vehicle.

 While adjusting the seat, do not put

your hands under the seat or near

the moving parts. You may catch

and injure your hands or fingers.

ADJUSTING SEAT POSITION

Pull the lock release lever up. Then

slide the seat to the desired position

with slight body pressure and release

the lever.

ADJUSTING SEATBACK ANGLE

Lean forward and pull the lock release

lever. Then lean back to the desired

angle and release the lever.

CAUTION

To reduce the risk of sliding under

the lap belt during a collision, avoid

reclining the seatback any more than

needed. The seat belts provide maxi-

mum protection in a frontal or rear

collision when the driver and the

passenger are sitting up straight and

well back in the seats. If you are re-

clined, the lap belt may slide past

your hips and apply restraint forces

directly to the abdomen. Therefore,

in the event of a frontal collision, the

risk of personal injury may increase

with increasing recline of the seat-

back.

—Adjusting front seats

To fold or remove the rear seats, operate

the seats as illustrated below. Reverse

the procedure to return them. Be sure to

follow every indicated step exactly.

CAUTION

 Any operations should not be

made while the vehicle is moving.

 After adjusting the seat position,

try sliding it forward and backward

to make sure it is locked in posi-

tion.

 After turning the seat, try moving it

right and left to make sure it is

locked in position.

 After adjusting the seatback, exert

body pressure to make sure it is

locked in position.

 When returning seats to their origi-

nal position:

Make sure the seat belts are not

twisted or caught under the seat and

are arranged in their proper position

for ready use.

Make sure the seat is securely

locked by pushing forward and rear-

ward on the top of the seatback or

by trying to pull up the edge of the

bottom cushion.

 Do not allow passengers to ride on

the flattened seat while driving:

use the seat in the normal posi-

tion.

Folding up or removing the seats will en-

large the luggage compartment. See

gage.

and counterclockwise for the left seat.

Hold the lock release lever until you have

moved the seat slightly.
