Safety features of your vehicle
In order to avoid unnecessary and
perhaps severe air bag injuries,
always sit as far back as possible
from the steering wheel whilst
maintaining comfortable control
of the vehicle. We recommend
that your chest be at least 25 cm
(10 inches) away from the steer -
ing wheel.
WARNING
Rear seatbacks
The rear seatback must be
securely latched. If not, passen -
gers and objects could be thrown
forward resulting in serious injury
or death in the event of a sudden
stop or collision.
Luggage and other cargo should
be laid flat in the cargo area. If
objects are large, heavy, or must
be piled, they must be secured.
Under no circumstances should
cargo be piled higher than the
seatbacks. Failure to follow these
warnings could result in serious
injury or death in the event of a
sudden stop, collision or rollover.
No passenger should ride in the
cargo area or sit or lie on folded
seatbacks whilst the vehicle is
moving. All passengers must be
properly seated in seats and
restrained properly whilst riding.
When resetting the seatback to
the upright position, make sure it
is securely latched by pushing it
forward and backwards.
To avoid the possibility of burns,
do not remove the carpet in the
cargo area.
Emission control devices beneath
this floor generate high tempera -
tures.
WARNING
After adjusting the seat, always
check that it is securely locked into
place by attempting to move the
seat forward or backward without
using the lock release lever. Sudden
or unexpected movement of the
driver's seat could cause you to lose
control of the vehicle resulting in an
accident.
WARNING
Do not adjust the seat whilst
wearing seat belts. Moving the
seat cushion forward may cause
strong pressure on the abdomen.
Use extreme caution so that
hands or other objects are not
caught in the seat mechanisms
whilst the seat is moving.
Do not put a cigarette lighter on
the floor or seat. When you oper -
ate the seat, gas may gush out of
the lighter and cause fire.
