WA R N I N G
!To reduce the risk of serious injury or death in the
event of an accident or sudden stop, all seatbacks
should be kept in the upright position while the vehi-
cle is in motion.
Seat belt performance during an accident can be
adversely affected if the seatbacks are reclined. The
more a seatback is reclined, the more likely seat belt
performance will be adversely affected. If the seat
belt is not properly positioned against the body dur-
ing an accident, there is increased risk you will slide
under the belt and receive serious injury or death.

NOTEThe head restraint height in the third row seats cannot be
adjusted.
For instructions regarding on how to use the third row
seats, refer to “Third row seat (Seating 7 passengers)” on
page 2-16.
Adjustment of the head restraint height (The
front and second row seats)To reduce the risk of injury in an accident, adjust the head
restraint height so that the center of the restraint is at your eye
level when seated. Any person too tall for the restraint to reach
their eye level when seated should raise the restraint to the
highest locked position.
To raise the restraint, pull it straight up.
To lower the restraint, push down on it while pressing the
lock knob (A) in the direction shown by the arrow.
After adjusting the height, push down on the restraint to
make sure it is locked in position.
WA R N I N G
!Driving without the head restraints in place can
cause you and your passengers serious injury or
death in an accident. To reduce the risk of injury in
an accident, always make sure the head restraints
are installed and properly positioned when the seat
is occupied.In order to minimize the risk of a neck injury due to
a rear impact, the seatback must be adjusted to the
upright position and the head restraint must be
adjusted to the proper position before vehicle opera-
tion. The driver should never adjust the seat while
the vehicle is in motion.Never place a cushion or similar device on the seat-
back. This can adversely affect head restraint per-
formance by increasing the distance between your
head and the restraint.

accommodations by removing the head restraints and fully
reclining all the seats when the vehicle is stopped.
WA R N I N G
!After returning the seat to its normal position, raise
all the head restraints to the highest position. Using
the second row seat with the head restraints
retracted could cause a serious head injury or death
in the event of a collision or sudden breaking.
WA R N I N G
!Never drive with passengers or cargo on the flat
seat. This is extremely dangerous and can cause
severe or fatal injury or death in an accident or if
heavy braking is required.
CAUTION
!Adjust the seats only when the vehicle is stopped in a
safe place.Seat should be adjusted only by adults to avoid acci-
dents.When sliding the seats, be careful not to catch your
hand or leg.Do not walk around on top of the seats after they
have been laid flat because the footing is uneven. It
is safest to move about on your hands and knees.To ensure the seats are locked securely, attempt to
move them back and forth.Do not jump on or drop heavy objects on the seat-
backs.
