Controls
After all occupants have adjusted their seats and head restraints, and put on their
seat belts, it is very important that they continue to sit upright, well back in their
seats, with their feet on the floor, until the vehicle is safely parked and the engine is
off.
Sitting improperly can increase the chance of injury during a crash. For example, if
an occupant slouches, lies down, turns sideways, sits forward, leans forward or
sideways, or puts one or both feet up, the chance of injury during a crash is greatly
increased.
In addition, an occupant who is out of position in the front seat can be seriously or
fatally injured in a crash by striking interior parts of the vehicle or being struck by an inflating front airbag.
The driver’s and front passenger’s seats have
active head restraints. In a rear impact, an
occupant properly secured by a seat belt will
be pushed against the seat-back and the head
restraint will move forward. This reduces the
distance between the restraint and the
occupant’s head, which helps reduce the
likelihood of whiplash and injuries to the neck
and upper spine.

■Active Head Restraints
1Maintain a Proper Sitting Position
3WARNING
Sitting improperly or out of position can
result in serious injury or death in a crash.
Always sit upright, well back in the seat,
with your feet on the floor.
1Active Head Restraints
In order for the active head restraints to operate properly:
• Do not hang any items on the head restraints, or
from the restraint legs.
• Do not place any objects between an occupant and
the seat-back.
• Install each restraint in its proper location.
After a collision, the activated restraint should return
to its normal position. If the restraint does not return
to its normal position, or in the event of a severe
collision, have the vehicle inspected by a dealer.

■Folding Down the Rear Seats1Folding Down the Rear Seats
Remove any items from the rear seat cushion before
you fold down the rear seat.
When you fold down one side of the rear seats and
use the non-recessed part of the cargo area, make
sure to secure the cargo. Loose items can fly forward
and cause injury if you have to brake hard.
Make sure all items in the cargo area or items
extending to the rear seats are properly
secured. Loose items can fly forward if you have to brake hard.
Make sure that the folded seat-back does not press
against the front passenger seat, as this can cause the
weight sensors in the front passenger seat to work
improperly.
