Knowing your vehicle
For a seating position more comfortable
to the driver and front passenger, adjust
the seat forward, backward, up and
down.
CAUTION
• Power seats are driven by electric
motor. Stop operating when the
adjustment is completed.
Excessive operation may damage
the electrical equipment.
• When in operation, the power
seats consume large amounts of
electrical power. To prevent
unnecessary charging system
drain, don't adjust the power
seats longer than necessary
while the engine is not running.
• Do not operate two or more power
seat control buttons at the same
time. Doing so may result in
power seat motor or electrical
component malfunction.

WARNING
• Loose objects in the driver's foot
area could interfere with the oper-
ation of the foot pedals, possibly
causing an accident. Loose
objects might interfere with the
seat slide mechanism. Do not
place anything under the front
seats.
• The power seats are operable
with the ignition OFF.
Therefore, children should never
be left unattended in the car.
WARNING
- Driver's seat
• Never attempt to adjust the seat
while the vehicle is moving. This
could result in loss of control, and
an accident causing death, seri-
ous injury, or property damage.
• Do not allow anything to interfere
with the normal position of the
seatback. Storing items against a
seatback or in any other way inter-
fering with proper locking of a
seatback could result in serious
or fatal injury in a sudden stop or
collision.

(Continued)
• Always drive and ride with your
seatback upright and the lap por-
tion of the safety belt, or lap belt,
snug and low across the hips.
This position puts your safety
belts in the best position to pro-
tect you in case of an accident.
• In order to avoid unnecessary air
bag injuries including the possi-
bility of severe injury or death,
always sit as far back as possible
from the steering wheel while still
being able to maintain comfort-
able control of your vehicle.
• The Canadian Motor Vehicle
Safety Standards (CMVSS) rec-
ommends that the driver sit at
least 250 mm (10 inches) away
from the steering wheel to avoid
the risk of serious injury or death
due to the deployment of the dri-
ver's air bag.
