Using the mechanical key (vehicles with a smart key system)

To take out the mechanical key,

slide the release lever and take

the key out.

The mechanical key can only be

inserted in one direction, as the

key only has grooves on one side.

If the key cannot be inserted in a

lock cylinder, turn it over and re-

attempt to insert it.

After using the mechanical key, store it in the electronic key. Carry the

mechanical key together with the electronic key. If the electronic key bat-

tery is depleted or the entry function does not operate properly, you will

need the mechanical key. (P. 449)

●Be careful that the seat does not hit passengers or luggage.

●To reduce the risk of sliding under the lap belt during a collision, do not

recline the seat more than necessary.

If the seat is too reclined, the lap belt may slide past the hips and apply

restraint forces directly to the abdomen, or your neck may contact the

shoulder belt, increasing the risk of death or serious injury in the event of

an accident.

Adjustments should not be made while driving as the seat may unexpect-

edly move and cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.

●Manual seat only: After adjusting the seat, make sure that the seat is
