Head Restraints
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.
The height of the head restraints can be adjusted on the
rst and second row seats. Pull the head restraint up or
push it down to adjust it.
The head restraints on the third row seat cannot be
adjusted.
Rear Seats
Rear Seat Operation
The rear seats in your vehicle have levers and straps
used to adjust, remove, and reinstall the seats. By using
the levers and straps in the correct order, you can
easily remove the seats 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 2-58. 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 1-23.
