Front passenger seat
CAUTION
The SRS front passenger airbag also
deploys with considerable force, and
can cause death or serious injury es-
pecially if the front passenger is very
close to the airbag. The front passen-
ger seat should be as far from the
airbag as possible with the seatback
adjusted, so the front passenger sits
upright.

—Front seat precautions
(on vehicles with SRS side
airbags)
CAUTION
The SRS side airbags are installed in
the driver and front passenger seats.
Observe the following precautions.
D
Do not lean against the front door
when the vehicle is in use, since
the side airbag inflates with consid-
erable speed and force. Otherwise,
you may be killed or seriously in-
jured.
D
Do not use seat accessories which
cover the area where the side air-
bags inflate. Such accessories may
prevent the side airbags from acti-
vating correctly, causing death or
serious injury.
D
Do not modify or replace the seats
or upholstery of front seats with
side airbags. Such changes may
prevent the side airbags from acti-
vating correctly, disable the system
or cause the side airbags to inflate
accidentally, resulting in death or
serious injury.
—Seat adjustment precautions
CAUTION
D
Adjustments should not be made
while the vehicle is moving, as the
seat may unexpectedly move and
cause the driver to lose control of
the vehicle.
D
When adjusting the seat, be careful
that the seat does not hit a passen-
ger or luggage.
D
After adjusting the seat position, re-
lease the lever and try sliding the
seat forward and backward to make
sure it is locked in position.
D
After adjusting the seatback, push
your body back against the seat to
make sure the seat is locked in
position.
D
Do not put objects under the seats.
Otherwise, the objects may interfere
with the seat–lock mechanism or
unexpectedly push up the seat posi-
tion adjusting lever and the seat
may suddenly move, causing the
driver to lose control of the vehicle.
