Safety features of your vehicle
seats and restrained properly whilst
riding.
僅 When resetting the seatback to the
upright position, make sure it is
securely latched by pushing it forward
and backwards.
僅 To avoid the possibility of burns, do
not remove the carpet in the cargo
area. Emission control devices
beneath this floor generate high tem-
peratures.
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
僅 Use extreme caution so that hands or
other objects are not caught in the
seat mechanisms whilst the seat is
moving.
僅 Do not put a cigarette lighter on the
floor or seat. When you operate the
seat, gas may gush out of the lighter
and cause fire.
僅 If there are occupants in the rear
seats, be careful whilst adjusting the
front seat position.
僅 Use extreme caution when picking
small objects trapped under the seats
or between the seat and the centre
console. Your hands might be cut or
injured by the sharp edges of the seat
mechanism.
CAUTION
Precautions with seat covers
僅 Use caution when working on the seat
cover. A short circuit or disconnection
may occur, which could lead to noise,
damage the ventilation system, and
possible fire.
僅 Be aware of wires or air vents when
placing a seat cover or covering the
seat with plastic cover. A short circuit
may occur, which could lead to fire.
Feature of Seat Leather
僅 Our car seats are upholstered with a
combination of artificial and genuine
leather. The genuine leather is made
from the outer skin of an animal,
which goes through a special process
to be available for use. Since it is a
natural substance, each part differs in
thickness or density. Also, wrinkles
could appear depending on the tem-
perature and humidity.
僅 The seat cover is made of stretchable
material to improve comfort of pas-
sengers.
僅 The parts contacting the body are
curved and the side supporting area is
high which provides driving comfort
and stability.
僅 Wrinkles may appear naturally from
usage. It is not a fault of the product.
CAUTION
僅 Wrinkles or abrasions which appear
naturally from usage are not covered
by warranty.
僅 Belts with metallic accessories, zip-
pers or keys inside the back pocket
may damage the seat fabric.
