Getting in or out of the Rear Seat

 


Do not operate a front seat while an occupant is seated in it:

Folding down the seatback or operating the seat switch while an occupant is seated in the seat is dangerous because the seatback folds down or reclines suddenly, and moves to an unintended position which may affect the driving when operated which could cause an injury.

When returning the operated seat to its sitting position, make sure that the seat is firmly locked and the red indication on the walk in strap is not visible (Manual seat):

If the vehicle is driven without the seat firmly locked, the seatback could fold down suddenly and cause an accident. In addition, the seat is not locked if the red indication on the walk in strap is visible. Make sure that the seat is firmly locked and the red indication on the walk in strap is not visible.

  • Be careful of the top of the door opening when getting in or out of the rear seat. Otherwise, you could hit your head or body, resulting in injury.

  • Lower the head restraint when operating the front seat. If the seat is operated with the head restraint raised, the head restraint may contact the ceiling of the vehicle causing damage.

This vehicle has freestyle doors with the rear door hinged at its rear and opening in the opposite direction to the front door. While the front door is closed, the rear door cannot be opened.

Rear Seat

Head Restraints

Your vehicle is equipped with head restraints on all outboard seats and the rear center seat. The head restraints are intended to help protect you and the passengers from neck injury.

 


Always drive with the head restraints installed when seats are being used and make sure they are properly adjusted:

Driving with the head restraints adjusted too low or removed is dangerous. With no support behind your head, your neck could be seriously injured in a collision.

Height Adjustment

Adjust the head restraint so that the center is even with the top of the passenger's ears.

 

To raise a head restraint, pull it up to the desired position.

To lower the head restraint, press the stop-catch release, then push the head restraint down.

Front seats

 

Rear seats

(Rear center seat)

 

(Rear outboard seats)

The height of the foldable head restraints equipped on the rear outboard seats cannot be adjusted.

Removal/Installation

To remove the head restraint, pull it up while pressing the stop-catch.

To install the head restraint, insert the legs into the holes while pressing the stop-catch.

 


Always drive with the head restraints installed when seats are being used and make sure they are properly installed:

Driving with the head restraints not installed is dangerous. With no support behind your head, your neck could be seriously injured in a collision.

After installing a head restraint, try lifting it to make sure that it does not pull out:

Driving with an unsecured head restraint is dangerous as the effectiveness of the head restraint will be compromised which could cause it to unexpectedly detach from the seat.

 


  • When installing a head restraint, make sure that it is installed correctly with the front of the head restraint facing forward. If the head restraint is installed incorrectly, it could detach from the seat during a collision and result in injury.

  • The head restraints on each of the front and rear seats are specialized to each seat. Do not switch around the head restraint positions. If a head restraint is not installed to its correct seat position, the effectiveness of the head restraint during a collision will be compromised which could cause injury.
