HEIGHT ADJUSTER
The driver's seat is provided with a height adjuster. Both the seat cushion and backrest rise every time the lifter lever is pulled up; they lower every time the lever is pushed down.
The lever is enlarged for easier operation.
Scheme 4
ACTIVE HEADREST
In case of rear-end collision, the headrest moves forward to immediately support the passenger's head to reduce the possibility of injury to the neck.
Scheme 5
Scheme 6
- In case of rear-end collision, the passenger's body will move rearward by the impact.
- When the body moves rearward, the thrust receiving plate inside the seat is pressed in.
- When the thrust receiving plate is pressed in, the headrest moves forward due to a levering action.
GENERAL
- It is possible to register optimal seat positions adjusted by a driver (seat forward/back position, seat cushion height and angle, back rest angle) to the memory unit.
- Up to 2 seat positions can be registered, and even if the seat position has been changed, it will be possible to call out a registered seat position with a single button. It is possible to set this to use for different drivers, or to set a driving position and a rest position.
- The memory switch assembly for registering and calling out the memory, is located on the side cover of the driver's seat cushion (door side).
Scheme 7
MEMORY UNIT
In addition to storing the current slide/tilt/lifter/reclining positions based on the pulse signals from each motor assembly, registration/call out of preset seat positions is performed by the operation of the memory switch assembly.
The amount of movement for each motor is counted from a reference position, and the counts are recorded by this count. If the counts from the reference position exceeds the limit for some reason, the preset call feature may not operate properly, and initialization will be required in this case.
When a preset seat position is registered or called out, the built-in buzzer will sound.

SEAT POSITION REGISTRATION
- Set the seat to the optimum position.
- Press the SET button, and press preset call button 1 or 2 within 5 seconds.
- When the seat position is registered, the buzzer will sound once.
Note. Even if the battery is removed, the registered seat position will not be deleted.
CALLING OUT THE PRESET SEAT POSITION
By pressing the preset call button 1 or 2, the seat will return to the registered seat position.
| CAUTION | The operational conditions for the preset call operation is as follows. AT model: Ignition switch Selector lever Operational condition ON "P" range position Preset call allowed ON Other than the "P" range Preset call prohibited OFF "P" range position Preset call allowed OFF Other than the "P" range Preset call allowed MT model: Ignition switch Parking brake Operational condition ON Applied Preset call allowed ON Disengaged Preset call prohibited OFF Applied Preset call allowed OFF Disengaged Preset call allowed If the following is performed while performing the seat preset call, the call out operation will be cancelled. When power seat operation by manual switch is performed When preset call button 1 or 2 is pressed When the SET button is pressed |
| Ignition switch | Selector lever | Operational condition |
|---|---|---|
| ON | "P" range position | Preset call allowed |
| ON | Other than the "P" range | Preset call prohibited |
| OFF | "P" range position | Preset call allowed |
| OFF | Other than the "P" range | Preset call allowed |
| Ignition switch | Parking brake | Operational condition |
|---|---|---|
| ON | Applied | Preset call allowed |
| ON | Disengaged | Preset call prohibited |
| OFF | Applied | Preset call allowed |
| OFF | Disengaged | Preset call allowed |
INITIALIZATION
In relation to the reference position recorded by the memory unit, if the actual amount of seat movement does not match the pulse count, (eg. motor should only count up to 10 but counted to 11 during movement), the preset call operation may not function properly. If the registered position and the called out position differs, it is necessary to perform initialization.
Note. Steps 1 to 4 may be performed in any order.
Scheme 8
- Operate the slide switch and move the seat towards the rear. Even after reaching the rearmost position, continue to operate the switch until a buzzer is heard.
- Operate the reclining switch and move the back rest forward. Even after reaching the foremost position, continue to operate the switch until a buzzer is heard.
- Operate the tilt switch and move the seat cushion downward. Even after reaching the lowest position, continue to operate the switch until a buzzer is heard.
- Operate the lifter switch and move the seat cushion downward. Even after reaching the lowest position, continue to operate the switch until a buzzer is heard.
- When the switch operation in the 4th step is turned from ON to OFF, if the initialization has been completed properly, the buzzer will sound 3 times.
Note. If the following conditions occur, the initialization operation will be cancelled. If the interval of operations between steps 1 to 4 exceed 10 seconds If all operations from steps 1 to 4 are not performed If power is cut off during the operations of steps 1 to 4, or if the voltage to the unit falls below the operating voltage
SEDAN MODELS
The backrest has an armrest. It is also featured with a "center through" function.
Scheme 9
WAGON MODELS
- Unlock the backrest by pushing the release button and then fold the backrest forwards.
- The backrest and shoulder portions are separated to improve support of the rear passenger's body. The backrest is also provided with a single-action folding feature, which contributes to form a flat luggage room by folding only the backrest forwards.
Scheme 10
A WALK-IN feature is provided on the second row seats to make it easier for the 3rd row passengers to get in and out of the vehicle.
Scheme 11
Scheme 12
FOLDING
When the WALK-IN lever is operated, the recliner is released through a wire inside the seat, and the seat backrest will fold forward. This will press the WALK-IN bracket against the lock plate, and rotate centered on the hinge center, pulling the slide release cable, and the seat slide lock will be released.
Scheme 13
WHEN FOLDED FORWARD
When the reclining lever is operated, the lock plate is pulled up with the wire. The pulled up lock plate is maintained at that position, and it will become possible to fold forward.
Scheme 14
In '06MY, the occupant detection system was changed. The loadcell sensor that is located between the seat cushion and the seat frame consists of the bladder (bag) containing silicon gel and the pressure sensor connected with a hose. When the passenger sits in the passenger's seat, the silicon gel contained in the bladder is pushed. The loadcell sensor measures this pressure, and then it sends the signal to the occupant detection control module. The occupant detection control module detects the physique of the person sitting in the passenger's seat based on the signals, and then it sends the control signal to the airbag control module.
The belt tension sensor was also added to the outer seat belt. The belt tension sensor detects the status that seat belt is continuously tensioning (when the child seat is attached to the passenger's seat, etc.), and then it sends the signal to the occupant detection control module.
