WARNING!
The head restraints for all occupants
must be
properly adjusted prior to oper-
ating the vehicle or occupying a seat . Head re-
straints should never be adjusted while the ve-
hicle is in motion. Driving a vehicle with the head
restraints improperly adjusted or removed could
cause serious injury or death in the event of a
collision.
Active Head Restraints (AHR) — Front Seats
Active Head Restraints are passive, deployable compo-
nents, and vehicles with this equipment can not be
readily identified by any markings, only through visual
inspection of the head restraint. The head restraint will
be split in two halves, with the front half being soft
foam and trim, the back half being decorative plastic.
When AHRs deploy during a rear impact, the front half
of the head restraint extends forward to minimize the
gap between the back of the occupant’s head and the
AHR. This system is designed to help prevent or reduce
the extent of injuries to the driver and front passenger in
certain types of rear impacts. Refer to “Occupant Re-
straints” in “Safety” for further information.
To raise the head restraint, pull upward on the head
restraint. To lower the head restraint, press the push
button, located at the base of the head restraint, and
push downward on the head restraint.

• Active Head Restraints may be deployed if they
are struck by an object such as a hand, foot or
loose cargo. To avoid accidental deployment of

removable. However, you can fold them forward when
they are not in use by passengers.
WARNING!
Do not allow a passenger to sit in a third

without having the head re-
straint unfolded and locked in place. Failure to
follow this warning may result in personal injury
to the passenger in the event of a collision.
60/40 SPLIT SECOND-ROW PASSENGER
SEATS
To provide additional storage area, each second-row
passenger seat can be folded flat. This allows for ex-
tended cargo space and still maintains some seating
room if needed.
NOTE: Prior to folding the second-row passenger
seat, make sure the front seatback is not in a reclined
position. This will allow the second-row seat to fold
easily.
WARNING!
• It is extremely dangerous to ride in a
cargo area,
inside or outside of a vehicle.
In a collision, people riding in these areas are
more likely to be seriously injured or killed.
• Do not allow people to ride in any area of your
vehicle that is not equipped with seats and seat
belts.
• Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and
using a seat belt properly.
• On seven passenger models, do not allow a
passenger to sit in a third row seat with the
second row seatback(s) folded flat . In a collision,
the passenger could slide underneath the seat
belt and be seriously or even fatally injured.
