Adjusting the Seats
Make seat adjustments before driving to ensure the best comfort and safety.
Adjusting the Front Seats
Adjust the driver’s seat as far back as possible while
allowing you to maintain full control of the vehicle. You
should be able to sit upright and well back in the seat,
adequately press the pedals without leaning forward, and
grip the steering wheel comfortably. The passenger’s seat
should be adjusted so that it is as far back from the front
airbag in the dashboard as possible.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and
Transport Canada recommend that drivers allow at least
10 inches (25 cm) between the center of the steering wheel and the chest.
Sitting too close to a front airbag can result in serious injury or death if the
front airbags inflate.
Always sit as far back from the front airbags as possible while maintaining
control of the vehicle.
Allow sufficient
space.

Reclining the seat-back too far can result in serious injury or death in a crash.
Adjust the seat-back to an upright position, and sit well back in the seat.
Sitting improperly or out of position can result in serious injury or death in a
crash.
Always sit upright, well back in the seat, with your feet on the floor.
Adjusting the
Head restraints
Your vehicle is equipped with head restraints in all seating positions. Head restraints are
most effective for protection against whiplash and other rear-impact crash injuries.
The center of the back of the occupant’s head should
rest against the center of the restraint. The tops of the
occupant’s ears should be level with the center height of
the restraint.
Front and second-row seats
To raise the head restraint: Pull it upward.
To lower the head restraint: Push it down while pressing
the release button.
To remove the head restraint: Pull the restraint up as far
as it will go. Then push the release button, and pull the
restraint up and out.
To reinstall a head restraint: Insert the legs back in
place, then adjust the head restraint to an appropriate
height while pressing the release button. Pull up on the
restraint to make sure it is locked in position.
