Warning!
G
All seat, head restraint adjustments, as well 
as fastening of seat belts, must be done be-
fore the vehicle is put into motion.
Warning!
G
Do not adjust the driver’s seat while driving. 
Adjusting the seat while driving could cause 
the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
Never ride in a moving vehicle with the seat 
back in an excessively reclined position as 
this can be dangerous. You could slide un-
der the seat belt in a collision. If you slide 
under it, the seat belt would apply force at 
the abdomen or neck. That could cause se-
rious or fatal injuries. The seat backrest and 
seat belts provide the best restraint when 
the wearer is in a position that is as upright 
as possible and seat belts are properly posi-
tioned on the body.
Your seat must be adjusted so that you can 
correctly fasten your seat belt.
Observe the following points:
Adjust the seat backrest until your arms 
are slightly angled when holding the 
steering wheel.
Adjust the seat to a comfortable seating 
position that still allows you to reach the 
accelerator/brake pedal safely. The po-
sition should be as far back as possible 
with the driver still able to properly oper-
ate controls.
Adjust the head restraint so that it is as 
close to the head as possible and the 
center of the head restraint supports 
the back of the head at eye level.
Never place hands under the seat or 
near any moving parts while a seat is be-
ing adjusted.
Failure to do so could result in an accident 
and/or serious personal injury.
Warning!
G
When leaving the vehicle, always remove the 
SmartKey or SmartKey with KEYLESS-GO* 
from the starter switch, take it with you, and 
lock the vehicle.
Even with the SmartKey or SmartKey with 
KEYLESS-GO* (Canada only) removed from 
the starter switch or the SmartKey with 
KEYLESS-GO* (Canada only) removed from 
the vehicle, the power seats can be 
operated.
Therefore, do not leave children unattended 
in the vehicle, or with access to an unlocked 
vehicle. A child’s unsupervised access to a 
vehicle could result in an accident and/or 
serious personal injury.
