will not be against your body. In an
accident, you could be thrown into it
and receive neck or other serious
injuries. You could also slide under
the lap belt and receive serious
internal injuries.

FLEXIBLE SEATING
WARNING
.Never allow anyone to ride in the
cargo area or on the rear seats
when they are in the fold-down
position. In a collision, people riding
in these areas without proper re-
straints are more likely to be ser-
iously injured or killed.
. Do not allow people to ride in any
area of your vehicle that is not
equipped with seats and seat belts.
Be sure everyone in your vehicle is
in a seat and using a seat belt
properly.
. Do not fold down the rear seats
when occupants are in the rear seat
area or any cargo is on the rear
seats.
. Head restraints should be adjusted
properly as they may provide sig-
nificant protection against injury in
an accident. Always replace and
adjust them properly if they have
been removed for any reason. .
If the head restraints are removed
for any reason, they should be
securely stored to prevent them
from causing injury to passengers
or damage to the vehicle in case of
sudden braking or an accident.
. When returning the seatbacks to the
upright position, be certain they are
completely secured in the latched
position. If they are not completely
secured, passengers may be injured
in an accident or sudden stop.
. Properly secure all cargo to help
prevent it from sliding or shifting.
Do not place cargo higher than the
seatbacks. In a sudden stop or
collision, unsecured cargo could
cause personal injury.
. When folding the bench seat seat-
back down for maximum storage,
make sure the seat base is in the
latched position by rocking the seat
base. If the seat base is not properly
secured, cargo stored on top of a
folded seatback may become a
projectile causing personal injury
or vehicle damage.
CAUTION
.When folding the 2nd row seat for
maximum cargo hauling, be sure
that cargo does not contact the
center console of the captain’s seat
(if so equipped) to avoid possible
damage to the console.
. When folding or returning the seat
(s) to the upright position, to avoid
injury to yourself and others:
— Make sure that the seat path is
clear before moving the seat.
— Be careful not to allow hands or feet to get caught or pinched in
the seat.

WARNING
Head restraint/headrest supplement
the other vehicle safety systems. They
may provide additional protection
against injury in certain rear end colli-
sions. Adjustable head restraints/head-
rests must be adjusted properly, as
specified in this section. Check the
adjustment after someone else uses
the seat. Do not attach anything to the
head restraint/headrest stalks or re-
move the head restraint/headrest. Do
not use the seat if the head restraint/
headrest has been removed. If the head
restraint/headrest was removed, rein-
stall and properly adjust the head
restraint/headrest before an occupant
uses the seating position. Failure to
follow these instructions can reduce the
effectiveness of the head restraint/
headrest. This may increase the risk of
serious injury or death in a collision.

FRONT-SEAT ACTIVE HEAD RE-
STRAINT
The Active Head Restraint moves forward
utilizing the force that the seatback receives
from the occupant in a rear-end collision. The
movement of the head restraint helps support
the occupant’s head by reducing its backward
movement and helping absorb some of the
forces that may lead to whiplash-type injuries.
Active Head Restraints are effective for colli-
sions at low to medium speeds in which it is said
that whiplash injury occurs most.
Active Head Restraints operate only in certain
rear-end collisions. After the collision, the head
restraints return to their original position.
