Headrest
The vehicle’s front and rear seats
have adjustable headrests. The head-
rests provide comfort for passengers,
but more importantly they are
designed to help protect passengers
from whiplash and other neck and
spinal injuries during an accident,
especially in a rear impact collision.
Safety system of your vehicle
To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death in an accident,
take the following precautions
when adjusting your headrests:
•Always properly adjust the
headrests for all passengers
BEFORE starting the vehicle.
•NEVER let anyone ride in a seat
with the headrest removed.
•Adjust the headrests so the
middle of the headrests is at
the same height as the height
of the top of the eyes.
(Continued)
WARNING
(Continued)
•NEVER adjust the headrest
position of the driver’s seat
when the vehicle is in motion.
•Adjust the headrest as close
to the passenger’s head as
possible. Do not use a seat
cushion that holds the body
away from the seatback.
•Make sure the headrest locks
into position after adjusting it.
To prevent damage, NEVER hit
or pull on the headrests.
CAUTION
When there is no occupant in
the rear seats, adjust the height
of the headrest to the lowest
position. The rear seat headrest
can reduce the visibility of the
rear area.
CAUTION
Cargo
Cargo should always be
secured to prevent it from being
thrown about the vehicle in a
collision and causing injury to
the vehicle occupants. Do not
place objects in the rear seats,
since they cannot be properly
secured and may hit the front
seat occupants in a collision.
WARNING
Cargo loading
Make sure the engine is off, the
automatic transmission is in P
(Park) and the parking brake is
securely applied whenever load-
ing or unloading cargo.
Failure to take these steps may
allow the vehicle to move if the
shift lever is inadvertently moved
to another position.
