3Seat cushion heightPush the front portion (1) of the control
knob up to raise or down to lower the
front part of the seat cushion. Push the
rear portion (2) of the control knob up to
raise or down to lower the rear part of the
seat cushion. Release the knob once the
seat reaches to the desired position.
Headrest (front)The headrest not only provides comfort
for the driver and front passenger, but
also helps to protect the head and neck
in the event of a collision.
For best protection, adjust the headrest
so its center is as high as your ears. Also
adjust the headrest so its distance from
the head is as wide as your fist.
Active headrest (if equipped)
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. Forward and backward adjustment
(if equipped)
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 far-
thest position and release it. Adjust the
headrest so that it properly supports the
head and neck.
