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-

B2311BE.fm Page 2 Tuesday, December 17, 2002 9:11 AM

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.
