Front seats
WARNING
!Never adjust the seat while driving to avoid the possibility of
loss of vehicle control and of personal injury.
!Never drive the vehicle with the head restraints removed be-
cause they are designed to reduce the risk of serious neck injury
in the event that the vehicle is struck from the rear.
!Before adjusting the seat, make sure the hands and feet of rear
seat passengers are clear of the adjusting mechanism.
!Seatbelts provide maximum restraint when the occupant sits
well back and upright in the seat. To reduce the risk of sliding un-
der the seatbelt in a collision, the front seatbacks should be al-
ways used in the upright position while the vehicle is running. If
the front seatbacks are not used in the upright position in a colli-
sion, the risk of sliding under the lap belt and of the lap belt sliding
up over the abdomen will increase, and both can result in serious
internal injury or death.
!Do not put cushions or any other materials between occupants
and seatbacks or seat cushions. If you do so, the risk of sliding un-
der the lap belt and of the lap belt sliding up over the abdomen will
increase, and both can result in serious internal injury or death.
!The SRS airbags deploy with considerable speed and force. Oc-
cupants who are out of proper position when the SRS airbag de-
ploys could suffer very serious injuries. Because the SRS airbag
needs enough space for deployment, the driver should always sit
upright and well back in the seat as far from the steering wheel as
practical while still maintaining full vehicle control and the front
passenger should move the seat as far back as possible and sit up-
right and well back in the seat.
!Put children aged 12 and under in the rear seat properly re-
strained at all times. The SRS airbag deploys with considerable
speed and force and can injure or even kill children, especially if
they are 12 years of age and under and are not restrained or im-

properly restrained. Because children are lighter and weaker than
adults, their risk of being injured from deployment is greater. For
that reason, we strongly recommend that ALL children (including
those in child seats and those that have outgrown child restraint
devices) sit in the REAR seat properly restrained at all times in a
child restraint device or in a seatbelt, whichever is appropriate for
the child's age, height and weight.
Secure ALL types of child restraint devices (including forward fac-
ing child seat) in the REAR seats at all times.
NEVER INSTALL A REARWARD FACING CHILD SEAT IN THE
FRONT SEAT. DOING SO RISKS SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO
THE CHILD BY PLACING THE CHILD'S HEAD TOO CLOSE TO THE
SRS AIRBAG.
According to accident statistics, children are safer when properly
restrained in the rear seating positions than in the front seating po-
sitions. For instructions and precautions concerning child re-
straint systems, see the “Child restraint systems" section in this
chapter.

!Reclining the seatback
Pull the reclining lever up and adjust the seatback to the desired posi-
tion. Then release the lever and make sure the seat is securely locked
into place.
The seatback placed in a reclined position can spring back upward with
force when released. When operating the reclining lever to return the
seatback, hold it lightly so that it may be raised back gradually.
!Head restraint adjustment
To raise the head restraint, pull it up. To lower it, push the head restraint
down while pressing the release button on the top of the seatback.
The head restraint should be adjusted so that the center of the head re-
straint is closest to the top of the occupant’s ears.

Ignition switch
The ignition switch has four positions: LOCK, ACC, ON and START.
!LOCK
The key can only be inserted or removed in this position. The ignition
switch will lock the steering wheel when you remove the key.
If turning the key is difficult, turn the steering wheel slightly to the right
and left as you turn the key.
WARNING
Never turn the ignition switch to “LOCK” while the vehicle is being
driven or towed because that will lock the steering wheel, prevent-
ing steering control. And when the engine is turned off, it takes a
much greater effort than usual to steer.
