• Luggage and other cargo should be
laid flat in the cargo area. If ob‐
jects are large, heavy, or must be
piled, they must be secured. Under
no circumstances should cargo be
piled higher than the seatbacks.
Failure to follow these warnings
could result in serious injury or
death in the event of a sudden
stop, collision or rollover.
• No passenger should ride in the
cargo area or sit or lie on folded
seatbacks while the vehicle is
moving. All passengers must be
properly seated in seats and re‐
strained properly while riding.
• When resetting the seatback to
the upright position, make sure it
is securely latched by pushing it
forward and backwards.
• To avoid the possibility of burns,
do not remove the carpet in the
cargo area. Emission control devi‐
ces beneath this floor generate
high temperatures.
WARNING
After adjusting the seat, always
check that it is securely locked into
place by attempting to move the
seat forward or backward without
using the lock release lever. Sudden
or unexpected movement of the
driver's seat could cause you to lose
control of the vehicle resulting in an
accident.
WARNING
• Use extreme caution so that hands
or other objects are not caught in
the seat mechanisms while the
seat is moving.
• Do not put a cigarette lighter on
the floor or seat. When you oper‐
ate the seat, gas may gush out of
the lighter and cause fire.
• If there are occupants in the rear
seats, be careful while adjusting
the front seat position.

• Use extreme caution when picking
small objects trapped under the
seats or between the seat and the
center console. Your hands might
be cut or injured by the sharp
edges of the seat mechanism.
Feature of Seat Leather
• Leather is made from the outer skin
of an animal, which goes through a
special process to be available for
use. Since it is a natural substance,
each part differs in thickness or den‐
sity.
Wrinkles may appear as a natural re‐
sult of stretching and shrinking de‐
pending on the temperature and hu‐
midity.
• The seat is made of stretchable fab‐
ric to improve comfort.
• The parts contacting the body are
curved and the side supporting area
is high which provides driving comfort
and stability.
• Wrinkles may appear naturally from
usage. It is not a fault of the product.
