Adjustment of the head restraints
Adjust the head restraint height so that the center of the
restraint is as close as possible to your seated eye level.
Any person too tall for the restraint to reach their seated
eye level, should adjust the restraint as high as possible.
·To raise the restraint, push in the lock knob and pull it
straight up.
·To lower the restraint, push down on it while pressing
the lock knob in the direction indicated by the arrow.
·After adjusting the height, lift up to confirm that it is
locked in position.
WARNING!
²Failure to have head restraints properly mounted
and adjusted may increase the chance of injury in
the event of a collision.
²A cushion or similar device should not be placed
on the seatback as it may increase the distance
between your head and the head restraint and
reduce the effectiveness of the restraint.
WARNING!
Driving with the head restraints removed can lead to
serious injury to you and your passengers in an
accident. Always have them mounted and properly
adjusted before operating the vehicle. Failure to do
so may increase the chance of injury in a collision.

WARNING!
²The extender should only be used if the existing
belt is not long enough.
Persons who can use the standard seat belt should
not use an extender. Unnecessary use could result
in serious personal injury in the event of a colli-
sion.
²When not required, the extender must be removed

not required may deactivate the seat belt locking
mechanism.
CHILD RESTRAINTS
When transporting infants or small children in your
vehicle, an appropriate child restraint system should
always be used. This is required by law in most states.
Child restraints specifically designed for infants and
small children are offered by several manufacturers. Only
choose a child restraint system with a label certifying it
complies with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard
213.The child restraint system should be appropriate for your
child's weight and height and properly fit the vehicle's
seat.
All children should be restrained in a restraint device that
offers the maximum protection for their size and age.
·Children less than 1 year and less than 20 pounds must
ride in a rear-facing child safety seat only in the rear
seat.
·Children older than 1 year who weigh less than 40
pounds or are less than 40 inches tall should be in a
forward-facing restraint in the rear seat.
·Children who weigh more than 40 pounds or are more
than 40 inches tall - regardless of age - should use a
booster seat in the rear seat until the lap/shoulder belt
fits properly.

WARNING!
²After adjustment, to the desired height, check to
be sure that the lever is locked.
²Do not attempt to adjust the steering wheel while
driving. This can be dangerous.
POWER STEERING
Your vehicle is equipped with power assisted steering as
standard equipment. The power assisted steering system
of your vehicle provides mechanical steering capability
in the event power assist is lost.
If for some reason the hydraulic pressure is interrupted,
it will still be possible to steer your vehicle. Under these
conditions you will observe a substantial increase in
steering effort. Should loss of hydraulic pressure occur
take your vehicle to an authorized dealer.
WARNING!
Never turn off the engine while the vehicle is
moving. Your ability to control the vehicle may be
seriously reduced.
CAUTION!
Do not leave the steering wheel in the fully turned
position. This can cause the power steering pump to
be damaged due to poor lubrication.
