release the bar. Height adjustment
(driver seat only):
Pull up or push down the lever

h if the
front airbags inflate.

maintaining control of the vehicle.
WARNING
Reclining the seat-back too far can result in serious injury or death in\

a crash.
Adjust the seat-back to an upright position, and sit well back in the se\
at.
WARNING
n Adjusting the Head Restraints
Your vehicle is equipped with head restraints in all
seating positions. Head restraints are most effective
for protection against whiplash and other rear-impact
crash injuries.
The center of the back of the occupant’s head should
rest against the center of the restraint. The tops of the
occupant’s ears should be level with the center height
of the restraint.
Position head in the
center of the head
restraint.
To raise the head restraint: Pull it upward.
To lower the head restraint: Push it down while
pressing the release button.
To remove the head restraint: Pull the restraint up as
far as it will go. Then press the release button(s), and
pull the restraint up and out.
To reinstall a head restraint: Insert the legs back in
place, then adjust the head restraint to an appropriate
height while pressing the release button(s). Pull up on
the restraint to make sure it is locked in position.
Improperly positioning head restraints reduces their effectiveness and
increases the likelihood of serious injury in a crash.
Make sure head restraints are in place and positioned properly before
driving.
WARNING
Failure to reinstall, or correctly reinstall, the head restraints can re\
sult in
severe injury during a crash.
Always replace the head restraints before driving.
WARNING
For a head restraint system to work properly: •
Do not hang any items on the head restraints, or from the restraint legs\
.
•
Do not place any object between an occupant and the seat-back.
•
Install each restraint in its proper location.
