Important Safety

Precautions

You will find many safety precautions and

recommendations throughout this

section, and throughout this manual. The

safety precautions in this section are

among the most important.

Always Wear Your Seat Belt

A seat belt is your best protection in all

types of accidents. Air bags are designed

to supplement seat belts, not to replace

them. So even though your vehicle is

equipped with air bags, ALWAYS make

sure you and your passengers wear your

seat belts, and wear them properly.

Restrain All Children

All children under age 13 should ride in

your vehicle properly restrained in a rear

seat, not the front seat. Infants and small

children should be restrained in an

appropriate Child Restraint System.

Larger children should use a booster seat

with the lap/shoulder belt until they can

use the seat belt properly without a

booster seat.

Air Bag Hazards

While air bags can save lives, they can

also cause serious or fatal injuries to

occupants who sit too close to them, or

who are not properly restrained. Infants,

young children, and short adults are at the

greatest risk of being injured by an

inflating air bag. Follow all instructions

and warnings in this manual.

Driver Distraction

Driver distraction presents a serious and

potentially deadly danger, especially for

inexperienced drivers. Safety should be

the first concern when behind the wheel

and drivers need to be aware of the wide

array of potential distractions, such as

drowsiness, reaching for objects, eating,

personal grooming, other passengers,

and using mobile phones.
Drivers can become distracted when they

take their eyes and attention off the road

or their hands off the wheel to focus on

activities other than driving. To reduce

your risk of distraction and an accident:
• Set up your mobile devices (for

example, MP3 players, phones,

navigation units, etc.) ONLY when your

vehicle is parked or safely stopped.

• ONLY use your mobile device when

allowed by laws and conditions permit

safe use. NEVER text or email while

driving. Most countries have laws

prohibiting drivers from texting. Some

countries and cities also prohibit

drivers from using handheld phones.

• NEVER let the use of a mobile device

distract you from driving. You have a

responsibility to your passengers and

others on the road to always drive

safely, with your hands on the wheel as

well as your eyes and attention on the

road.

Control Your Speed

Excessive speed is a major factor in crash

injuries and deaths. Generally, the higher

the speed, the greater the risk, but serious

injuries can also occur at lower speeds.

Never drive faster than is safe for current

conditions, regardless of the maximum

speed posted.

Keep Your Vehicle in Safe

Condition

Having a tire blowout or a mechanical

failure can be extremely hazardous. To

reduce the possibility of such problems,

check your tire pressures and condition

frequently, and perform all regularly

scheduled maintenance.

Safety Precautions

Adjusting the seats so that you are sitting

in a safe and comfortable position plays

an important role for the safety of the

driver and passengers, as much as seat

belts and air bags when in an accident.

WARNING

Do not use a cushion that reduces friction

between the seat and the passenger. The

passenger’s hips may slide under the lap

portion of the seat belt during an accident

or a sudden stop.
Serious or fatal internal injuries could

result because the seat belt cannot

operate properly.

Air bags

You can take steps to reduce the risk of

being injured by an inflating air bag.

Sitting too close to an air bag greatly

increases the risk of injury in the event the

air bag inflates. The National Highway

Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)

recommends that drivers allow at least 10

inches (25 cm) between the center of the

steering wheel and their chest.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of serious injury or

death from an inflating air bag, take the

following precautions:
• Adjust the driver’s seat as far to the rear

as possible while maintaining the ability

to control the vehicle.

• Adjust the front passenger seat as far to

the rear as possible.

• Hold the steering wheel by the rim with

your hands at the 9 o’clock and 3

o’clock positions to minimize the risk of

injuries to your hands and arms.

• NEVER place anything or anyone

between you and the air bag.

• Do not allow the front passenger to

place feet or legs on the dashboard to

minimize the risk of leg injuries.

Seat belts

Always fasten your seat belt before

starting any trip. At all times, passengers

should sit upright and be properly

restrained. Infants and small children

must be restrained in appropriate Child

Restraint Systems. Children who have

outgrown a booster seat and adults must

be restrained using the seat belts.

WARNING

Take the following precautions when

adjusting your seat belt:
• NEVER use one seat belt for more than

one occupant.

• Always position the seatback upright

with the lap portion of the seat belt

snug and low across the hips.

• NEVER allow children or small infants to

ride on a passenger’s lap.

• Do not route the seat belt across your

neck, across sharp edges, or reroute

the shoulder strap away from your

body.

• Do not allow the seat belt to become

caught or jammed.

CarManuals2.com

3-7

Front Seats

WARNING

Take the following precautions when

adjusting your seat:
• NEVER attempt to adjust the seat while

the vehicle is moving. The seat could

respond with unexpected movement

and may cause loss of vehicle control

resulting in an accident.

• Do not place anything under the front

seats. Loose objects in the driver’s foot

area could interfere with the operation

of the foot pedals, causing an accident.

• Do not allow anything to interfere with

the normal position and proper locking

of the seatback.

• Do not place a cigarette lighter on the

floor or seat. When you operate the

seat, gas may exit out of the lighter

causing a fire.

• Use extreme caution when picking up

small objects trapped under the seats

or between the seat and the center

console. Your hands might be cut or

injured by the sharp edges of the seat

mechanism.

• If there are occupants in the rear seats,

be careful while adjusting the front seat

position.

• Make sure that the seat is locked in

place after the adjustment. If not, the

seat might move unexpectedly

resulting in an accident.

CAUTION

To prevent injury:
• Do not adjust your seat while wearing

your seat belt. Moving the seat cushion

forward may cause strong pressure on

your abdomen.

• Do not allow your hands or fingers to

get caught in the seat mechanisms

while the seat is moving.

WARNING

NEVER allow children in the vehicle

unattended. The power seats are

operable when the vehicle is turned off.

NOTICE

To prevent damage to the seats:
• Always stop adjusting the seats when

the seat has been adjusted as far

forward or rearward as possible.

• Do not adjust the seats longer than

necessary when the vehicle is turned

off. This may result in unnecessary

battery drain.

• Do not operate two or more seats at the

same time. This may result in an

electrical malfunction.

if equipped

Manual adjustment

The front seat can be adjusted by using

the levers located on the outside of the

seat cushion. Before driving, adjust the

seat to the proper position so that you can

easily control the steering wheel, foot

pedals and controls on the instrument

panel.

B0052KO02

Forward and rearward adjustment

To move the seat forward or rearward:
1. Pull up the seat slide adjustment lever

and hold it.

2. Slide the seat to the position you desire.
3. Release the lever and make sure the

seat is locked in place. Move forward

and rearward without using the lever. If

the seat moves, it is not locked

properly.

B0052KO03

Seatback angle

To recline the seatback:
1. Lean forward slightly and lift up the

seatback lever.

2. Carefully lean back on the seat and

adjust the seatback to the position you

Reclining seatback

Sitting in a reclined position when the

vehicle is in motion can be dangerous.

Even when buckled up, the protection of

your restraint system (seat belts and air

bags) is greatly reduced by reclining your

seatback.

WARNING

NEVER ride with a reclined seatback

when the vehicle is moving.
Riding with a reclined seatback increases

your chance of serious or fatal injuries in

the event of a collision or sudden stop.
Drivers and passengers should ALWAYS

sit well back in their seats, properly

belted, and with the seatbacks upright.

CarManuals2.com

Seat belts must be snug against your hips

and chest to work properly. When the

seatback is reclined, the shoulder belt

cannot do its job because it will not be

snug against your chest. Instead, it will be

in front of you. During an accident, you

could be thrown into the seat belt,

causing neck or other injuries.
The more the seatback is reclined, the

greater chance the passenger's hips will

slide under the lap belt or the passenger's

neck will strike the shoulder belt.

Rear Seats

WARNING

Take the following precautions:
• Adjusting the seats

- NEVER attempt to adjust the seat

while the vehicle is moving. The seat

may suddenly move and may injure

the passenger.

- Make sure that the seat is locked in

place after the adjustment. If not, the

seat might move unexpectedly

resulting in an accident.

• Folding the seats

- Do not fold the seatback when the

seat is occupied (for example,

passenger, pets or luggage). It may

injure the passenger or pet, or

damage the luggage.

- Never allow passengers to sit on top

of the folded down seatback while

the vehicle is moving. This is not a

proper seating position and no seat

belts are available for use. This could

result in serious injury or death in

case of an accident or sudden stop.

- Objects carried on the folded down

seatback should not extend higher

than the top of the front seatbacks.

This could allow cargo to slide

forward and cause injury or damage

during sudden stops.

- When returning the rear seatback

from a folded to an upright position,

hold the seatback and return it

slowly. Ensure that the seatback is

completely locked into its upright

position by pushing on the top of the

seatback. In an accident or sudden

stop, the unlocked seatback could

allow cargo to move forward with

great force and enter the passenger

compartment, which could result in

serious injury or death.

• Loading cargo

- Make sure the engine is off, the gear

shifted to P (Park), and the parking

brake is securely applied whenever

loading or unloading cargo. Failure to

take these steps may allow the

vehicle to move if the shift button or

shift dial is inadvertently pressed or

rotated to another position.

- When cargo is loaded through the

rear passenger seats, ensure the

cargo is properly secured to prevent

it from moving while driving.

• Do not place objects in the rear seats,

since they cannot be properly secured

and may hit vehicle occupants in a

collision causing serious injury or

death.

CAUTION

Do not allow your hands or fingers to get

caught in the seat mechanisms while

adjusting the seats.

NOTICE

To prevent damage to the vehicle:
• Rear seat belts

Before folding the seatback, insert the

seat belt buckle in the holder between

the seatback and cushion. And insert

the seat belt webbing in the guide to

prevent the seat belt from being

damaged.

• Cargo

Be careful when loading cargo through

the rear passenger seats to prevent

damage to the vehicle interior.

button is in P (Park), and the parking

brake is securely applied whenever

loading or unloading cargo. Failure to

take these steps may allow the vehicle to

move if the shift button is inadvertently

shifted to another position.

CAUTION

• Be careful when loading cargo through

the rear passenger seats to prevent

damage to the vehicle interior.

• When cargo is loaded through the rear

passenger seats, ensure the cargo is

properly secured to prevent it from

moving while driving.
