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

Padded head restraints for the seats can reduce the risk of a whiplash injury if yourvehicle is hit from the rear. The head restraints are equipped in the illus- trated position.To maximize the effectiveness of your head restraint, adjust the front seatback to the upright position, the rear seatback to the nor-mal seating position, and the head restraint tothe proper position. Sit
back against the seat-
back with your head close to the head restraint.
To reduce the risk of injury in an accident, adjust the head restraint height so that thecenter of the restraint is at your eye level when seated. Any person too tall for the restraint to reach their eye level when seatedshould raise the restraint to the highest locked position.

 Never sit on the arm rest. Doing so could damage the arm rest.
Head restraints
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 areinstalled and properly positioned when the seat is occupied. In order to minimize the risk of a neck injury due to a rear impact, the front seat- back must be adjusted to the upright posi-tion, the rear seatback to the normal seating position, and the head restraint 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 seatback. This can adversely affect head restraint performance by increasingthe distance between your head and the restraint.
