button (1) while pulling upward (2).
To reinstall the headrest, put the
headrest poles (3) into the holes

Folding the rear seat
The rear seatbacks (or cushions)
may be folded to facilitate carrying
long items or to increase the luggage
capacity of the vehicle.
•Never allow passengers to sit on
top of the folded down seatback
while the vehicle is moving as
this is not a proper seating posi
tion and no seat belts are avail
able for use. This could result in
serious injury or death in case of
an accident or sudden stop.
•Objects carried on the folded
down seatback should not
extend higher than the top of the
front seats. This could allow
cargo to slide forward and cause
injury or damage during sudden
stops.
WARNING
Make sure the headrest locks in
position after adjusting it to prop
erly protect the occupants.
WARNING
OGC034019
•For maximum effectiveness in
case of an accident, the head
rest should be adjusted so the
middle of the headrest is at the
same height as the center of
gravity of an occupant's head.
•Do not operate the vehicle with
the headrests removed. Severe
injury to an occupant may occur
in the event of an accident.
Headrests may provide protec
tion against severe neck injuries
when properly adjusted.

Maintenance
Keep your garage dry
Don't park your vehicle in a damp,
poorly ventilated garage. This cre
ates a favorable environment for cor
rosion. This is particularly true if you
wash your vehicle in the garage or
drive it into the garage when it is still
wet or covered with snow, ice or
mud. Even a heated garage can con
tribute to corrosion unless it is well
ventilated so moisture is dispersed.
Keep paint and trim in good condi
tion
Scratches or chips in the finish
should be covered with "touchup"
paint as soon as possible to reduce
the possibility of corrosion. If bare
metal is showing through, the atten
tion of a qualified body and paint
shop is recommended.
Bird droppings : Bird droppings are
highly corrosive and may damage
painted surfaces in just a few hours.
Always remove bird droppings as
soon as possible.
Don't neglect the interior
Moisture can collect under the floor
mats and carpeting and cause corro
sion. Check under the mats periodi
cally to be sure the carpeting is dry.
Use particular care if you carry fertil
izers, cleaning materials or chemi
cals in the vehicle.
These should be carried only in
proper containers and any spills or
leaks should be cleaned up, flushed
with clean water and thoroughly
dried.Interior care
Interior general precautions
Prevent chemicals such as perfume,
cosmetic oil, sun cream, hand clean
er, and air freshener from contacting
the interior parts because they may
cause damage or discoloration. If
they do contact the interior parts,
wipe them off immediately. See the
instructions that follow for the proper
way to clean vinyl.
Never allow water or other liquids to
come in contact with electrical/ elec
tronic components inside the vehicle
as this may damage them.
When cleaning leather products
(steering wheel, seats etc.), use neu
tral detergents or low alcohol content
solutions. If you use high alcohol
content solutions or acid/alkaline
detergents, the color of the leather
may fade or the surface may get
stripped off.
