Enhancement of Product AppealParts With Low Repair Cost
^ The parts (the bumper reinforcements, crush boxes, and the radiator support assembly) located forward of the front side members are bolted on to reduce the front end repair cost in the event of a minor collision.
^ In the rear bumper, the amount of area protected by honeycomb material has been increased. The cross section of the bumper arms has been formed into a crushable shape that provides efficient impact absorption. These features help to reduce the impact that acts on the body and the repair cost in case of a minor collision.
Washer Nozzle
Spray type washer nozzles are located under the engine hood to ensure good appearance. These nozzles can spray windshield washer fluid over a wide area by spraying it in a fan shape. The washer fluid volume has been reduced so as not to hinder the driver's view when washer system is operated.
Wiper Arm and Blade
The unified construction of the wiper blade and arm is used. A fin-shaped resin cover is used for the entire wiper blade. This ensures the effectiveness of the wipers even when traveling at high speeds.
Internal Trunk Release Handle
In case a person is inadvertently locked inside the trunk and needs to get out, an internal trunk release handle is included inside the luggage room.
The handle is made of phosphorescent plastic, so that it is visible in the luggage room for a while even after the luggage room door has been closed.
Child Restraint System
CRS (Child Restrain System) lower anchorage for securing child seats has been provided behind the seat cushion of the rear seat.
Three CRS anchor brackets for securing a child seat are provided above the package tray trim.
Seat
1. Front Seat
^ The driver's seat uses a 4-way adjustable lumbar support. This support consists of plastic plates that are placed to the lumbar area of the occupant, which push the seatback surface forward. Thus, it gives a feel of uniform support from the upper back to the pelvis, and a great fit.
^ On the front seat, the space between the upper area of the seat frame and the occupant has been increased from the previous model. In a low-speed rear-end collision, this construction allows the occupant's torso to sink further into the seatback and the head to move closer to the headrest. Furthermore, the headrest has been designed to support the occupant's head at a closer and higher position, in order to reduce cervical injury during a rear-end collision.
2. Rear Seat
4-2-4 Split Seat
^ A 4-2-4 split seat is used as standard on VIP package models.
^ The center portion of this seat is fixed, while the cushion and the back of both outer sides slide in unison. Thus, the outer seats have an independent feel and a great fit, much like the front seats.
4-4 Split Seat
^ A 4-4 split seat, of which the central part is used as a large console, is available as an option on VIP package models.
^ A seat equipped with an ottoman, relaxation system, and 45° reclining functions is available behind the front passenger seat to realize maximum comfort.
Seat Belt
1. General
The following types of seat belts are provided.
2. Pretensioner and Force Limiter
In accordance with the ignition signal from the airbag sensor assembly, the seat belt pretensioner activates simultaneously with the deployment of SRS airbag for the driver and front passenger.
In the beginning of the collision if the tension of the seat belt applied to the occupant reaches a predetermined level, the force limiter activates to control the force.
Even if the front passenger airbag is not deployed in accordance with the front passenger occupant classification system, the pretensioner and force limiter for the front passenger will be deployed.
3. Seat Belt Comfort Guide
This belt comfort guides for child or occupant have been added on the both sides of rear seat, With this device, the belt guide can be slid to a position to reduce seatbelt discomfort.
Paint
^ White pearl crystal shine (077) containing highly reflective small mica particles is used for the exterior color, thereby producing strong highlight luster and pearl-like smoothness.
