Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags/Seat heater

are located on the top of the seatback until
the head restraint locks. Press and hold
the release button to lower the head
restraint.

NOTE
When the head restraint cannot be
pulled out or installed due to insufficient clearance between the head restraint and the roof, tilt the seat and
then perform the installation and removal tasks.
! Head restraint angle adjustment

The angle of the head restraint can be
adjusted in several steps. While maintaining a suitable driving posture, adjust the
head restraint to a position where the back
of your head is as close to the head
restraint as possible.

To tilt:
Tilt the head restraint by hand to the
preferred position. A click will be audible
when the head restraint is locked.
To return:
Tilt the head restraint once as far forward
as it can go. The head restraint will
automatically return to the fully upright
position. Then, adjust the head restraint
again to the preferred angle.

Seat heater (if equipped)
The front seats are equipped with a seat
heater.
The seat heater operates when the ignition switch is either in the “ACC” or “ON”
position.

CAUTION
. People with delicate skin may
suffer slight burns even at low
temperatures if they use the seat
heater for a long period of time.
When using the heater, always be
sure to warn the persons concerned.
. Do not put anything on the seat
which insulates against heat,
such as a blanket, cushion, or
similar items. This may cause the
seat heater to overheat.
. When the vehicle’s interior is
warmed enough or before you
leave the vehicle, be sure to turn
off the seat heater.

NOTE
Use of the seat heater for a long period
of time while the engine is not running
