B080C01A-AATAdjusting Seatback Angle
To recline the seatback, lean forward to take
your weight off it, then pull up on the recliner
control lever at the outside edge of the seat. Now
lean back until the desired seatback angle is
achieved. To lock the seatback into position,
release the recliner control lever.
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 may be
reduced significantly 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 cannot provide full
protection to an occupant if the seat back
is reclined.
B080D01L-GATAdjustable Headrests
Headrests 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.
If equipped with a horizontally adjustable type of
headrest, pull on the top.

cushion, turn the front knob forward or rear-
ward. To raise or lower the rear part of the seat
cushion, turn the rear knob forward or rear-
ward.
WARNING:o For maximum effectiveness in case of an
accident, the headrest should be adjust-
ed so the top of the headrest is at the
same height as the top of the occupant's
ears. The use of a cushion that holds the
body away from the seatback is not
recommended.
o Do not operate the vehicle with the head-
rests removed as severe injury to an
occupant may occur in the event of an
accident. Headrests may provide pro-
tection against severe neck injuries when
properly adjusted.
