34 Seats and Restraints
Head Restraints Front Seats The vehicle's front seats have
adjustable head restraints in the
outboard seating positions.
{ WarningWith head restraints that are not
installed and adjusted properly,
there is a greater chance that
occupants will suffer a neck/
spinal injury in a crash. Do not
drive until the head restraints for
all occupants are installed and
adjusted properly. Adjust the head restraint so that the
top of the restraint is at the same
height as the top of the occupant's
head. This position reduces the
chance of a neck injury in a crash. To raise or lower the head restraint,
press the button located on the side
of the head restraint, and pull up or
push the head restraint down, and
release the button. Pull and push on
the head restraint after the button is
released to make sure that it is
locked in place.
To adjust the head restraint forward
and rearward, press the button
located on the side of the head
restraint and move it forward or
rearward until the desired locking
position is reached. Try to move the
head restraint after the button is
released to make sure that it is
locked in place.
The front seat outboard head
restraints are not removable.
Rear Seats The vehicle's rear seats have
adjustable head restraints in the
outboard seating positions.
The height of the head restraint can
be adjusted. Pull the head restraint
up to raise it. Try to move the head

To lower the head restraint, press
the button located on the top of the
seatback and push the head
restraint down. Try to move the
head restraint after the button is
released to make sure it is locked in
place.
Always adjust the head restraint so
that the top of the restraint is at the
same height as the top of the
occupant ’ s head. The rear outboard head restraints
are designed to be folded. The head
restraint can be folded backward to
allow for better visibility when the
rear seat is unoccupied. To fold the
head restraint, press the button on
the side of the head restraint.
When an occupant is in the seat,
always return the head restraint to
the upright position. Pull the head
restraint up and push it backward
until it locks into place. Push and
pull on the head restraint to make
sure that it is locked. If you are installing a child restraint

Thigh Support
Adjustment
If equipped, adjust the manual leg
extension by pulling up on the lever,
and then pulling or pushing on the
support to lengthen or shorten it.
Release the lever to lock it in place. Reclining Seatbacks
{ WarningSitting in a reclined position when
the vehicle is in motion can be
dangerous. Even when buckled
up, the seat belts cannot do
their job.
The shoulder belt will not be
against your body. Instead, it will
be in front of you. In a crash, you
could go into it, receiving neck or
other injuries.
The lap belt could go up over
your abdomen. The belt forces
would be there, not at your pelvic
bones. This could cause serious
internal injuries.
For proper protection when the
vehicle is in motion, have the
seatback upright. Then sit well
back in the seat and wear the
seat belt properly. Do not have a seatback reclined if
the vehicle is moving.
