WARNING AND INDICATOR LIGHTS

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SSS0133

WARNING

. Do not ride in a moving vehicle when the

seatback is reclined. This can be danger-
ous. The shoulder belt will not be
against your body. In an accident, you
could be thrown into it and receive neck
or other serious injuries. You could also
slide under the lap belt and receive
serious internal injuries.

. For the most effective protection when

the vehicle is in motion, the seat should
be upright. Always sit well back in the

seat with both feet on the floor and
adjust the seat belt properly. See

“Pre-

cautions on seat belt usage

” later in this

section.

. After adjustment, gently rock in the seat

to make sure it is securely locked.

. Do not leave children unattended inside

the vehicle. They could unknowingly
activate switches or controls. Unat-
tended children could become involved
in serious accidents.

. The seatback should not be reclined any

more than needed for comfort. Seat belts

are most effective when the passenger
sits well back and straight up in the
seat. If the seatback is reclined, the risk
of sliding under the lap belt and being
injured is increased.

Safety

FRONT SEATS

Front power seat adjustment

Operating tips:
. The power seat motor has an auto-reset

overload protection circuit. If the motor
stops during operation, wait 30 sec-
onds, then reactivate the switch.

. Do not operate the power seat switch

for a long period of time when the
engine is off. This will discharge the
battery.

See

“Automatic drive positioner” in the “3.

Pre-driving checks and adjustments

” sec-

tion for the seat position memory function.

CAUTION

When adjusting the seat positions, be sure
not to contact any moving parts to avoid
possible injuries and/or damages.

SSS1051

Forward and backward:

Moving the switch

forward or backward

will slide the seat forward or backward to
the desired position.

Reclining:

Move the recline switch

backward until

the desired angle is obtained. To bring the
seatback forward again, move the switch

forward.

The reclining feature allows adjustment of
the seatback for occupants of different
sizes for added comfort and to help obtain
proper seat belt fit. (See

“Precautions on

seat belt usage

” later in this section.) Also,

the seatback can be reclined to allow
occupants to rest when the vehicle is
stopped and the transmission is in the P
(Park) position.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SSS1052

Seat lifter:

1. Pull up or push down the adjusting

switch to adjust the seat height until
the desired position is achieved.

2. Tilt up or down the adjusting switch to

adjust the front angle of the seat until
the desired position is achieved (for
driver

’s seat).

SSS1053

Lumbar support:

The lumbar support feature provides lower
back support to the occupants.

Push the front or back end of the switch to
adjust the seatback lumbar area.

2ND ROW SEATS

WARNING

. Never allow anyone to ride in the cargo

area or on the rear seat when it is in the
fold-down position. Use of these areas
by passengers without proper restraints
could result in serious injury in an

accident or sudden stop.

. When returning the seatbacks to the

upright position, be certain they are
completely secured in the latched posi-
tion. If they are not completely secured,
passengers may be injured in an acci-
dent or sudden stop.

. Properly secure all cargo to help prevent

it from sliding or shifting. Do not place
cargo higher than the seatbacks. In a
sudden stop or collision, unsecured
cargo could cause personal injury.
