Your vehicle has seat belts and other safety
features that help protect you and your pas-
sengers in an accident.
Seat belts are the most important safety
device. When worn properly, seat belts can
reduce the chance of serious injury or death
in various types of crashes. For added protec-
tion during a severe frontal collision, your
vehicle has a Supplemental Restraint System
(SRS) with airbags for the driver and passen-
gers. The seats, head restraints, and door
locks also are safety equipment, which must
be used correctly.
Always check the following before you drive:
 That everyone in your vehicle is properly
wearing their seat belt.

That infants and small children are prop-
erly secured in an appropriate child
restraint system in the rear seat.

That all doors are fully closed and locked.
 That seatbacks are upright, with head
restraints properly adjusted.
Safety equipment cannot prevent injury or
death in all motor vehicle accidents. How-
ever, you can help reduce the risk of injury or
death, by following the instructions in this
manual.

enables you to fully apply the pedals, easily
control the steering wheel and safely operate
the vehicle.
Seats and restraint systems WARNING
 Do not place objects under the seats. This
could prevent the seat from locking
securely, and it could lead to an accident.
It may also cause damage to the seat or
other parts.
Front seats
WARNING
 Do not attempt to adjust the seat while
driving. This can cause loss of vehicle con-
trol and result in an accident.
Manual seat adjustment Power seat adjustment
 After adjusting the seat, make sure that it
is securely locked into position.
 To reduce the risk to the driver of serious
injury or death during deployment of the
driver’s airbag, always properly wear the
seat belt and adjust the driver’s seat as far
back as possible while maintaining a posi-
tion that still enables you to fully apply the
pedals, easily control the steering wheel,
and safely operate the vehicle.
 To reduce the risk to the front passenger
of serious injury or death during deploy-
ment of the passenger’s airbag, always
properly wear the seat belt and adjust the
front passenger’s seat as far back as possi-
ble.
 Always place children 12 years old and
under in the rear seat and use appropriate
child restraint systems.
CAUTION
 Make sure that the seat is adjusted by an
adult. If it is adjusted by a child, an unex-
pected accident might occur.
 Do not place a cushion or the like between
your back and the seatback while driving.
The effectiveness of the head restraints will
be reduced in the event of an accident.
 When sliding the seats, be careful not to
catch your hand or leg.
