B080B03A-AATAdjusting Seat Forward and Rear-
wardTo move the seat toward the front or rear,
pull the lock release lever upward. This will
release the seat on its track so you can
move it forward or rearward to the desired
position. When you find the position you
want, release the lever and slide the seat
forward or rearward on its track until it locks
into the desired position and cannot be
moved further.
B080C03A-AATAdjusting Seatback AngleTo 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.
WARNING:
After adjusting the seat, always check
that it is securely locked into place by
attempting to move the seat forward or
reverse without using the lock release
lever. Sudden or unexpected move-
ment of the driver's seat could cause
you to lose control of the vehicle result-
ing in an accident.

WARNING:
o Never adjust the driver’s seat while
the vehicle is moving. Any sudden or
unexpected movement of the seat
could cause you to lose control of the
vehicle resulting in an accident. Only
adjust the driver’s seat when the ve-
hicle is stationary.
o Do not sit or lean unnecessarily close
to the airbag. Position the seat so that
you can sit as far back as possible
from the airbag and still comfortably
reach all controls.

!
WARNING:
Riding with a reclined seatback in-
creases your chance of serious or fatal
injuries in the event of a collision or
sudden stop. The protection of your
restraint system (seat belts and airbags)
is greatly reduced by reclining your seat.
Seat belts must be snug against your
hips and chest to work properly. The
more the seatback is reclined, the greater
the chance that an occupant's hips will
slide under the lap belt or the occupant's
neck will strike the shoulder belt. Driv-
ers and passengers should always sit
well back in their seats, properly belted,
and with the seatbacks upright.
B080D02JM-AATAdjustable HeadrestsHeadrests are designed to help reduce
the risk of neck injuries.
To raise the headrest, pull it up. To lower
the headrest, 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 occu-
pied.

Now lean back until the desired seatback
angle is achieved. To lock the seatback
into position, release the recliner control
lever.
B080E01JM-GATForward and backward adjustment
(if installed)The headrest may be adjusted forward to
three different positions by pulling the
headrest forward. To adjust the headrest
backward, pull it fully forward to the farthest
position and release it. Adjust the headrest
so that it properly supports the head and
neck.

(Driver's Seat Only) (If Installed)To change the height of the seat cushion,
rotate the knob located on the outside of
the seat cushion.
OJM019003
!
B080D01JM
WARNING:
o For maximum effectiveness in case
of an accident the headrest should be
adjusted so the middle of the head-
rest 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
recommended.
o Do not operate vehicle with the head-
rests removed as injury to the occu-
pants may occur in the event of an
accident. Headrests may provide pro-
tection against neck injuries when
properly adjusted.
o Do not adjust the headrest hejght while
the vehicle is in motion.
B083D01NF-AATActive Headrests (If Installed)The active headrest is designed to move
forward and upward during a rear impact.
This helps to prevent the driver's and front
passenger's head from moving backward
and thus helps prevent neck injuries.

either of the switches to warm the driver's
seat or the passenger's seat.
During mild weather or under conditions
where the operation of the seat warmer is
not needed, keep the switches in the "OFF"
position.NOTE:o The seat warmer will not operate if the
ambient temperature is higher than
82.4°F ± 6.3°F (28°C ± 3.5°C).
o If the seat warmer doesn't work when
ambient temperature is lower than
75.2°F (24°C), it should be checked at
an authorized dealer.

o When you return the seatback to its
upright position, always be sure it is
locked into position by pulling and push-
ing on the top of the seatback.
WARNING:
o The purpose of the fold-down rear
seat back is to allow you to carry
larger items than could otherwise be
accommodated. Never allow passen-
gers 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 ex-
tend higher than the top of the front
seatbacks.
This could allow cargo to slide for-
ward and cause injury or damage
during sudden stops.
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 addi-
tion, do not allow the seatbelt webbing
or buckle to get caught or pinched in
the rear seat.o When you return the rear seatback to
its upright position, be sure it is locked
into position. Attempt to move it.
o Never attempt to fold or return seat
while the vehicle is moving.

B150C02A-AATLarger ChildrenChildren who are too large for child re-
straint systems should always occupy the
rear seat and use the available lap/shoul-
der belts. The lap portion should be fas-
tened snug on the hips and as low as
possible. Check belt fit periodically. A
child's squirming could put the belt out of
position. Children are afforded the most
safety in the event of an accident when
they are restrained by a proper restraint
system in the rear seat. If a larger child
(over age 13) must be seated in the front
seat, the child should be securely re-
strained by the available lap/shoulder belt
and the seat should be placed in the
rearmost position. Children under the age
of 13 should be restrained securely in the
rear seat. NEVER place a child under the
age of 13 in the front seat. NEVER place a
rear facing child seat in the front seat of a
vehicle.B150D01A-AATPregnant WomenThe use of a seat belt is recommended for
pregnant women to lessen the chance of
injury in an accident. When a seat belt is
used, the lap belt portion should be placed
as low and snugly as possible on the hips,
not across the abdomen. For specific rec-
ommendations, consult a physician.
SEAT BELTSB150B04Y-AATInfant or Small ChildAll 50 states have child restraint laws. You
should be aware of the specific require-
ments in your state. Child and/or infant
safety seats must be properly placed and
installed in the rear seat. Information about
the use of these restraints begins on page
1-26.
!
B150A02S-AATSEAT BELT PRECAUTIONS
WARNING:All occupants of the vehicle must wear
their seat belts at all times. Seat belts
and child restraints reduce the risk of
serious or fatal injuries for all occupants
in the event of a collision or sudden stop.
Without a seat belt, occupants could be
shifted too close to a deploying airbag,
strike the interior structure or be thrown
from the vehicle. Properly worn seat
belts greatly reduce these hazards. Even
with advanced airbags, unbelted occu-
pants can be severely injured by a de-
ploying airbag. Always follow the pre-
cautions about seat belts, airbags and
occupant safety contained in this
manual.
!
WARNING:
Every person in your vehicle needs to be
properly restrained at all times, includ-
ing infants and children. Never hold a
child in your arms or lap when riding in a
vehicle. The violent forces created dur-
ing a crash will tear the child from your
arms and throw the child against the
interior. Always use a child restraint
appropriate for your child's height and
weight, see page 1-26.NOTE:Small children are best protected from
injury in an accident when properly re-
strained in the rear seat by a child re-
straint system that meets the require-
ments of the Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standards. Before buying any
child restraint system, make sure that it
has a label certifying that it meets Fed-
eral Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213.
The restraint must be appropriate for
your child's height and weight. Check
the label on the child restraint for this
information. See page 1-26.
