The vehicle transmits radio waves to locate the smart entry remote when locking/  
unlocking the doors and tailgate, or to start the engine.  
Communication between the smart entry remote and  
the vehicle consumes the smart entry remote’s  
battery.  
Battery life is about two years, but this varies  
depending on regularity of use.  
The battery is consumed whenever the smart entry  
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 and tailgate, or starting the  
engine may be inhibited or operation may be unstable:  
• Strong radio waves are being transmitted by nearby equipment.  
• You are carrying the smart entry remote together with telecommunications  
equipment, laptop computers, cell phones, or wireless devices.  
• A metallic object is touching or covering the smart entry remote.

Adjusting the Seats  
Front Seats  
Adjust the driver’s seat as far back as possible  
while allowing you to maintain full control of  
the vehicle. You should be able to sit upright,  
well back in the seat and be able to  
adequately press the pedals without leaning  
forward, and grip the steering wheel  
comfortably. The passenger’s seat should be  
adjusted in a similar manner, so that it is as far  
back from the front airbag in the dashboard  
as possible.  
1Adjusting the Seats  
Allow sufficient  
space.

WARNING  
Sitting too close to a front airbag can result  
in serious injury or death if the front  
airbags inflate.  
Always sit as far back from the front  
airbags as possible while maintaining  
control of the vehicle.  
Move back.  
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration  
and Transport Canada recommend that drivers allow  
at least 10 inches (25 cm) between the center of the

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.  
Doing so may interfere with proper seat belt or airbag  
operation.  
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.  
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  
seat belts, it is very important that they continue to sit upright, well back in their  
seats, with their feet on the floor, until the vehicle is safely parked and the engine is  
off.  
1Maintain a Proper Sitting Position  
3
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.

WARNING  
Adjusting the front head restraint positions  
■
Improperly positioning head restraints  
reduces their effectiveness and increases  
the likelihood of serious injury in a crash.  
Head restraints are most effective for  
protection against whiplash and other rear-  
impact crash injuries when the center of the  
back of the occupant’s head rests against the  
center of the restraint. The tops of the  
occupant’s ears should be level with the  
center height of the restraint.  
Make sure head restraints are in place and  
positioned properly before driving.  
In order for the head restraint system to work  
properly:  
• Do not hang any items on the head restraints, or  
from the restraint legs.  
• Do not place any objects between an occupant and  
the seat-back.  
• Install each restraint in its proper location.  
Position head in the center  
of the head restraint.  
To raise the head restraint:  
Pull it upward.  
To lower the head restraint:

button.
