dow lock switch. To return normal operation,
press the window lock switch a second time.
NOTE:The power windows can be operated for 30
seconds after the ignition key is turned to
the "ACC" or "LOCK" positions, or removed
from the ignition switch.
If the front doors are opened during this 30
second period, the power windows can no
longer be operated without the ignition key
turned to the "ON" position.

and body are not trapped by a closing
window.

WARNING:
To minimize risk of severe injury in the
event of a collision or a sudden stop, both
the driver and passenger seatbacks should
always be in an upright position while the
vehicle is in motion. The protection pro-
vided by the seat belts and airbags in a
frontal collision may be reduced signifi-
cantly when the seatbacks are reclined.
There is greater risk that the driver and
passenger will slide under the seat belt
which may result in serious injury if a crash
occurs when the seatbacks are reclined.
The seat belt and airbags cannot provide
proper protection to an occupant if the seat
back is reclined.

B080D02JM-AATAdjustable HeadrestsHeadrests are designed to help reduce the risk
of neck injuries.
To raise the headrest, pull it up. To lower it, push
it down while pressing the lock knob. To remove
the headrest, raise it as far as it can go then
press the lock knob while pulling upward. This
should only be done when the seat is not
occupied.

Lock knob
WARNING:
o For maximum effectiveness in case of an
accident the headrest should be ad-
justed so the middle of the headrest is at
the same height as the top of the
occupant's eyes. For this reason, the
use of a cushion that holds the body
away from the seatback is not recom-
mended.
o Do not operate vehicle with the head-
rests removed as injury to the occupants
may occur in the event of an accident.
Headrests may provide protection against
neck injuries when properly adjusted.
o Do not adjust the headrest height while
the vehicle is in motion.

WARNING:
To minimize the risk of personal injury in
the event of a collision or a sudden stop,
both the driver's and passenger's seatback
should remain in an upright position while
the car is in motion. The protection pro-
vided by the seat belts and airbags may be
reduced significantly when the seatbacks
are reclined. There is a greater risk that the
seat occupants will slide under the belt
resulting in serious injury if a crash occurs
when the seatbacks are reclined. The seat
belt and airbags cannot provide proper
protection to an occupant if the seat back

WARNING:
o When folding down or returning the
seatback, always hold the seatback.
Otherwise, the seatback could move
suddenly and result in unexpected in-
jury.
o The purpose of the fold-up rear seat
cushion and the fold-down rear seat
back is to allow you to carry larger items
than could otherwise be accommodated.
Never allow passengers to sit on the
cargo area while the car is moving. This
is not a proper seating position and no
seat belts are available for use when the
seat back is folded down.
This could result in serious injury or
death in case of an accident or a sudden
stop. Objects should not extend higher
than the top of the front seatbacks.
This could allow cargo to slide forward
and cause injury or damage during sud-
den stops.
o Make sure that the headrests are prop-
erly fixed in place to minimize the risk of
severe injury in case of an accident.
!
4. Hook the securing loop under the seat cush-
ion to the hanger on the backside of the
seatback.
5. Insert the headrests between the seatback
and the seat cushion.
6. To return the seatback to its normal position,
push the seatback folding lever and reverse
the above procedure.
o When you return the seatback to its upright
position, always be sure it is locked into
position by pulling and pushing on the top of
the seatback.

NOTE:o Before folding the seatback, place the
rear seat belt buckles in the buckle clips
on the seatback. This will prevent the
seat belt buckles from becoming cov-
ered by the seat cushion when it is
returned to the seating position.
o The rear seat belt buckles must be re-
moved from the buckle clips by pressing
release button when in use.

seat belts at all times. Note that this vehicle
is equipped with a Supplemental Restraint
(Airbag) System as discussed beginning
on page 1-34. The seat belts must be used
in conjunction with the supplemental

increased if this elementary safety precau-
tion is not observed. In addition, follow the
other instructions provided in this section. o When you return the rear seatback to its
upright position after being folded down,
be careful not to damage the seatbelt
webbing or buckle. In addition, do not
allow the seatbelt webbing or buckle to
get caught or pinched in the rear seat.
