head restraint up or push it down to adjust it.
The head restraints on the third row seat cannot
be adjusted.

Rear Seat Operation
The rear seats in your vehicle have levers and
straps used to adjust, remove, and reinstall

from the vehicle. If your vehicle has second row
captain chairs with airbags, the seats cannot
be removed.
When reinstalling the seats, make sure the seats
are in the proper positions.
If your vehicle has a second row center console, it
can be removed. SeeSecond Row Center
Console on page 183. Do not put a seat in the
center position because the safety belt cannot be
worn properly in this position. SeeSafety Belts:
They Are for Everyone on page 32.
