WARNING - Loose Objects

Do not place anything in the driver's footwell or under the front seats. Loose objects in the driver's foot area may interfere with the operation of the pedals.

WARNING. Driver's Responsibility for Passengers

The driver should advise passengers to keep the seatback in the upright position whenever the vehicle is in motion. If the seat is reclined during a collision, the ability of the restraint system to restrain the occupant will be significantly reduced.

CAUTION - Seat Cushion

Passengers should never sit on seat cushions or seat pillows. The passenger's hips may slide under the lap portion of the seat belt during a collision or sudden stop.

CAUTION - Driver's Seat

  • Never attempt to adjust the seat while the vehicle is moving. This could result in loss of control of the vehicle.
  • Do not allow anything to interfere with the normal position of the seatback. Storing objects on the seatback may result in serious or fatal injury in a sudden stop or collision.
  • Sit as far from the steering wheel as possible while maintaining comfortable control of the vehicle. A distance of at least 25 cm (10 in.) between the chest and the steering wheel is recommended. Failure to do so may result in injury to the driver when the airbag deploys.

WARNING - Rear Seatbacks

Always lock the rear seatback before driving. Failure to do so may result in passengers or objects thrown forward injuring vehicle occupants.

WARNING! Luggage and Cargo

Do not stack or pile luggage or cargo higher than the seatback in the cargo area. In a collision, cargo may strike and injure a passenger. If items are large, heavy, or must be stacked, they must be secured in the cargo area.

WARNING - Cargo Area

Under no circumstances should passengers be allowed to ride in the luggage compartment. The luggage compartment is intended for luggage or cargo only.

WARNING - Seat Adjustment

  • Do not adjust the seat while wearing the seat belt. Moving the seat forward may cause strong pressure on the abdomen.
  • Do not place your hands under the seat or near the seat track while adjusting the seat. Your hand may become caught in the seat mechanism.

WARNING - Small Objects

Be extremely careful when retrieving small objects that have fallen under the seats or between the seat and center console. Your hands may be cut or damaged by sharp edges of the seat mechanism.

Seat Leather Characteristics

  • Leather is made from the outer skin of an animal that has undergone a special treatment process to make it suitable for use. Since it is a natural material, each part differs in thickness or density. Wrinkles may appear as a natural result of stretching and shrinking depending on temperature and humidity.
  • The seat is made of elastic fabric to improve comfort.
  • The parts contacting the body are contoured, and the side support area is high, providing comfort and stability while driving.
  • Wrinkles may appear naturally from use. This is not a product defect.

CAUTION

  • Belts with metal accessories, zippers, or keys in the rear pants pocket may damage the seat fabric.
  • Be careful not to wet the seat. This may change the nature of natural leather.
  • Jeans or clothing containing bleach may contaminate the seat upholstery fabric and cause damage or discoloration.

✽ NOTICE

Wrinkles or wear that appear naturally from use are not covered by the warranty.
