Seats
僅 To raise the seat cushion, pull the
lever up several times.
Headrest
The driver's and front passenger's seats
are equipped with a headrest for the
occupant's safety and comfort.
The headrest not only provides comfort
for the driver and front passenger, but
also helps to protect the head and neck
in the event of a collision.
WARNING
僅 For maximum effectiveness in case of
an accident, the headrest should be
adjusted so the middle of the head
-
rest is at the same height as the cen
-
tre of gravity of an occupant's head.
Generally, the centre of gravity of
most people's head is similar with the
height of the top of their eyes. Also,
adjust the headrest as close to your
head as possible. For this reason, the
use of a cushion that holds the body
away from the seatback is not recom
-
mended.
僅 Do not operate the vehicle with the
headrests removed as severe injury to
the occupants may occur in the event
of an accident. Headrests may pro
-
vide protection against neck injuries
when properly adjusted.
僅 Do not adjust the headrest position of
the driver's seat whilst the vehicle is in
motion.
CAUTION
When there is no occupant in the rear
seats, adjust the height of the headrest
to the lowest position. The rear seat
headrest can reduce the visibility of the
rear area.
Adjusting the height up and
down
To raise the headrest, pull it up to the
desired position (1). To lower the head
-
rest, push and hold the release button
(2) on the headrest support and lower
the headrest to the desired position (3).
