The vehicle transmits radio waves to locate the keyless remote when locking/  
unlocking the doors, opening the tailgate, or to activate the power system.  
1Low Keyless Remote Signal Strength  
Communication between the keyless remote and the  
vehicle consumes the keyless remote’s battery.

depending on regularity of use.  
The battery is consumed whenever the keyless  
remote is receiving strong radio waves. Avoid placing  
it near electrical appliances such as televisions and  
personal computers.  
In the following cases, locking/unlocking the doors, opening the tailgate, or  
activating the power system may be inhibited or operation may be unstable:  
• Strong radio waves are being transmitted by nearby equipment.  
• You are carrying the keyless remote together with telecommunications

Adjusting the Seat-Backs  
■
Adjust the driver’s seat-back to a comfortable,  
upright position, leaving ample space  
between your chest and the airbag cover in  
the center of the steering wheel.  
3
WARNING  
Reclining the seat-back too far can result in  
serious injury or death in a crash.  
Adjust the seat-back to an upright position,  
and sit well back in the seat.  
The front seat passenger should also adjust  
their seat-back to a comfortable, upright  
position.  
Do not put a cushion, or other object, between the  
seat-back and your back.  
Reclining a seat-back so that the shoulder part of the belt no longer rests against the  
occupant’s chest reduces the protective capability of the belt. It also increases the  
chance of sliding under the belt in a crash and being seriously injured. The farther a  
seat-back is reclined, the greater the risk of injury.  
Doing so may interfere with proper seat belt or airbag  
operation.  
If you cannot get far enough away from the steering  
wheel and still reach the controls, we recommend  
that you investigate whether some type of adaptive  
equipment may help.

Maintain a Proper Sitting Position  
After all occupants have adjusted their seats and head restraints, and put on their

system is off.  
1Maintain a Proper Sitting Position

WARNING  
Sitting improperly or out of position can  
result in serious injury or death in a crash.  
Sitting improperly can increase the chance of injury during a crash. For example, if  
an occupant slouches, lies down, turns sideways, sits forward, leans forward or  
sideways, or puts one or both feet up, the chance of injury during a crash is greatly  
increased.  
Always sit upright, well back in the seat,  
with your feet on the floor.  
In addition, an occupant who is out of position in the front seat can be seriously or  
fatally injured in a crash by striking interior parts of the vehicle or being struck by an  
inflating front airbag.
