Head restraints

To adjust height

To remove

Head restraints

Adjust the head restraint height so that the

centre of the head restraint is as close as pos-

sible to ear level to reduce the chances of in-

jury in the event of collision. Any person too

tall for the head restraint to reach their seated

ear level, should adjust the restraint as high

as possible.

To raise the head restraint, move it upward.

To lower the restraint, move it downward

while pushing the height adjusting knob (A)

in the direction of the arrow. After adjust-

ment, push the head restraint downward and

make sure that it is locked.

Lift the head restraint with the height adjust-

ing knob (A) pushed in.

WARNING

Driving without the head restraints in

place can cause you and your passengers

serious injury or death in an accident. To

reduce the risk of injury in an accident,

always make sure the head restraints are

installed and properly positioned when

the seat is occupied.

Never place a cushion or similar device on

the seatback. This can adversely affect

head restraint performance by increasing

the distance between your head and the

restraint.

When a person sits in the rear seats, pull

up the head restraint to a height at which

it locks in position. Be sure to make this

adjustment before starting to drive. Seri-

ous injuries could otherwise be suffered as

the result of an impact.

To install

Confirm that the head restraint is facing the

correct direction, and then insert it into the

seatback while pressing the height adjusting

knob (A) in the direction indicated by the ar-

row.

The head restraint stalk with the adjustment

notches (B) must be installed in the hole with

the adjusting knob (A).

height. Secure the luggage firmly.

Serious accidents could result due to unre-

strained objects entering the passenger com-

partment during sudden braking.

CAUTION

The shape and size of the head restraint dif-

fers according to the seat. Always use the

correct head restraint provided for the seat

and do not install the head restraint in the

wrong direction.

When folding the seat, be sure not to catch

your hand or leg.

recline the seatbacks backwards to ach-

ieve a flat surface. (Refer to “Front

with adult supervision for correct and safe

operation.

Do not walk around on top of the seats after

they have been laid flat.

To ensure the seats are locked securely, at-

tempt to move them back and forth.

Do not jump on, or impact the seatbacks

heavily.

To raise the seatback, put a hand on the seat-

back and raise slowly. Never have a child do

this operation, or an unexpected accident

may result.

seat cushion.

front seats, raise the armrest and remove

the cargo area cover. (Refer to “Head re-

straints” on page 5-06, “Armrest” on

clining the seatbacks of the seats, one large

flat seat is achieved.

4. The flat seat configuration is now com-

plete. Reverse the above procedures

when returning the seat to the normal

position.

WARNING

Always adjust the belt to a snug fit.

Seat belts should always be worn by every

adult who drives or rides in this vehicle,

and by all children who are tall enough to

wear seat belts properly.

Always wear the lap portion of the belt

over your hips.

Other children should always use proper

child restraint systems.

Always place the shoulder belt over your

shoulder and across your chest. Never put

it behind you or under your arm.

One seat belt should be used by only one

person. Doing otherwise can be danger-

ous.

The seat belt will provide its wearer with

maximum protection if the recliner seat-

back is placed in fully upright position.

When the seatback is reclined, there is

greater risk that the passenger will slide

under the belt, especially in a forward im-

pact accident, and may be injured by the

belt or by striking the instrument panel or

seatbacks.

3-point type seat belt (with

emergency locking mechanism)

This type of belt requires no length adjust-

ment. Once worn, the belt adjusts itself to the

movement of the wearer, but in the event of a

sudden or strong shock, the belt automatical-

ly locks to hold the wearer’s body.

NOTE

Seat belts

You can check if the belt locks by pulling it

forward quickly.

To protect you and your passengers in the

event of an accident, it is most important that

the seat belts be worn correctly while driving.

The front seat belts have a pretensioner sys-

tem. These belts are used the same way as a

conventional seat belt.

If the seat belt buckles in the rear seating po-

sition are not found, you will find them un-

der the rear seat cushion. Refer to “Making a

luggage area” on page 5-07 for how to put

the seat belt buckles at the proper position.

Remove any twists when using the belt.

No modifications or additions should be

made by the user which will either pre-

vent the seat belt adjusting devices from

operating to remove slack, or prevent the

seat belt assembly from being adjusted to

remove slack.

Never hold a child in your arms or on

your lap when riding in this vehicle, even

if you are wearing your seat belt. T o d o so

risks severe or fatal injury to the child in

a collision or sudden stop.

To fasten

Refer to “Seat belt pretensioner system and

force limiter system” on page 5-15.

1. Pull the seat belt out slowly while hold-

ing the latch plate.
