SEATS
SSS0133 
WARNING
.Do not ride in a moving vehicle when the seatback is reclined. This can be dangerous. The shoulder belt will not be against your body. In an accident, you could be thrown into it and receive neck or other serious injuries. You could also slide under the lap belt and receive serious internal injuries.
.For the most effective protection when the vehicle is in motion, the seat should be upright. Always sit
well back in the seat with both feet on the floor and adjust the seat properly. See “Precautions on seat belt usage” (P.1-10).
.After adjustment, gently rock in the seat to make sure it is securely locked.
.Do not leave children unattended inside the vehicle. They could unknowingly activate switches or controls. Unattended children could become involved in serious accidents.
1-2 Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system
.The seatback should not be reclined any more than needed for comfort. Seat belts are most effective when the passenger sits well back and straight up in the seat. If the seatback is reclined, the risk of sliding under the lap belt and being injured is increased.
CAUTION
When adjusting the seat positions, be sure not to contact any moving parts to avoid possible injuries and/or damage.

FRONT SEATS
Front manual seat adjustment
Forward and backward:
Pull the lever *1 up and hold it while you slide the seat forward or backward to the desired position. Release the lever to lock the seat in position.
Reclining (Type A):
To recline the seatback, pull the lever *2 up and lean back. To bring the seatback forward, pull the lever up and lean your body forward. Release the lever to lock the seatback in position.
The reclining feature allows adjustment of the seatback for occupants of different sizes for added comfort and to help obtain proper seat belt fit. (See “Precautions on seat belt usage” (P.1-10).) Also, the seatback can be reclined to allow occupants to rest when the vehicle is stopped and the transmission is in the P (Park) position or N (Neutral) position with the parking brake fully applied.
Reclining (Type B):
To recline the seatback, turn the adjusting dial *2 toward the rear of the vehicle and lean back. To bring the seatback forward, turn the adjusting dial toward the front of the vehicle and lean your body forward. Release the dial to lock the

seatback in position.
The reclining feature allows adjustment of the seatback for occupants of different sizes for added comfort and to help obtain proper seat belt fit. (See “Precautions on seat belt usage” (P.1-10).) Also, the seatback can be reclined to allow occupants to rest when the vehicle is stopped and the transmission is in the P (Park) position or N (Neutral) position with the parking brake fully applied.
NOTE:
.Depending on the passenger’s seat sliding position when the passenger seat is unoccupied while driving, a noise may be heard as the side part of the passenger’s seat contacts the seat belt tongue. In this case, move the seat to the rearmost position to avoid interference.
.If you are having difficulty turning the adjusting dial, park the vehicle and then open the door or get out of the vehicle to operate the dial.
SSS1129 
Seat lifter (for driver’s seat):
Pull up or push down the adjusting lever to adjust the seat height until the desired position is achieved.
SSS1142 
REAR SEATS
Folding
Before folding the rear seats:
Secure the seat belts on the seat belt hooks on the side wall. (See “Seat belt hooks” (P.1-15).)
To fold the seatback, pull the adjusting knob *1 .
To return the seatback to the seating position, lift up each seatback and push it to the upright position until it is latched.
1-4 Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system
CAUTION
When folding or returning the seatback(s) to the upright position, to avoid injury to yourself and others:
.Make sure that the seat path is clear before moving the seat.
WARNING
.Do not fold down the rear seats when occupants are in the rear seat area or any objects are on the rear seats.
.Never allow anyone to ride in the cargo area or on the rear seats when they are in the fold-down position. Use of these areas by passengers without proper restraints could result in serious injury in an accident or sudden stop.
.Properly secure all cargo with ropes or straps to help prevent it from sliding or shifting. Do not place cargo higher than the seatbacks. In a sudden stop or collision, unsecured cargo could cause personal
injury.
.When returning the seatbacks to the upright position, be certain they are completely secured in the latched position. If they are not completely secured, passengers may be injured in an accident or sudden stop.
HEAD RESTRAINTS/HEADRESTS
WARNING
Head restraint/headrest supplement the other vehicle safety systems. They may provide additional protection against injury in certain rear end collisions. Adjustable head restraints/headrests must be adjusted properly, as specified in this section. Check the adjustment after someone else uses the seat. Do not attach anything to the head restraint/headrest stalks or remove the head restraint/headrest. Do not use the seat if the head restraint/ headrest has been removed. If the head restraint/headrest was removed, reinstall and properly adjust the head restraint/headrest before an occupant uses the seating position. Failure to follow these instructions can reduce the effectiveness of the head restraint/ headrest. This may increase the risk of serious injury or death in a collision.

The illustration shows the seating positions equipped with head restraint/headrest.
Indicates the seating position is equipped with a head restraint.
Indicates the seating position is equipped with a headrest.
+ indicates the seating position is not equipped with a head restraint or headrest.
.Your vehicle is equipped with a head restraint/headrest that may be integrated, adjustable or non-adjustable.
.Adjustable head restraints/headrests have multiple notches along the stalk to lock them in a desired adjustment position.
.The non-adjustable head restraints/headrests have single locking notch to secure them to the seat frame.
.Proper Adjustment:
—For the adjustable type, align the head restraint/headrest so the center of your ear is approximately level with the center of the head restraint/headrest.
—If your ear position is still higher than the recommended alignment, place the head restraint/headrest at the highest position.
.If the head restraint/headrest has been removed, ensure that it is reinstalled and locked in place before riding in that designated seating position.

SSS0508 
FRONT-SEAT ACTIVE HEAD RE-
STRAINTS (if so equipped)
The Active Head Restraint moves forward utilizing the force that the seatback receives from the occupant in a rear-end collision. The movement of the head restraint helps support the occupant’s head by reducing its backward movement and helping absorb some of the forces that may lead to whiplash-type injuries.
Active Head Restraints are effective for collisions at low to medium speeds in which it is said that whiplash injury occurs most.
Active Head Restraints operate only in certain rear-end collisions. After the collision, the head restraints return to their original positions.
