Adjusting the Head Restraints
Your vehicle is equipped with head restraints in all seating positions. H\
ead
restraints are most effective for protection against whiplash and other \
rear-impact

tops of the occupant’s ears should be level with the
center height of the restraint.

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.

appropriate height while pressing the release
button. Pull up on the restraint to make sure it is
locked in position. Folding Down the Rear SeatsThe rear seat-back(s*) can be folded down to make room for large items\
