cWhen returning the seatbacks to the
upright position, be certain they are
completely secured in the latched posi-
tion. If they are not completely secured,
passengers may be injured in an acci-
dent or sudden stop.
cClosely supervise children when they
are around cars to prevent them from
playing and becoming locked in the
trunk where they could be seriously in-
jured. Keep the car locked, with the rear
seatback and trunk lid securely latched
when not in use, and prevent children’s
access to car keys.
When using the fold down rear seatback, the rear
center seat belt retractor may lock up and prevent
folding down the seatback.
If the rear center seat belt retractor has inadvert-
ently locked up, push the seat belt webbing to-
ward the retractor as shown in the above illustra-
tion. This will unlock the seat belt retractor and
allow the rear seatback to fold down.
HEAD RESTRAINT ADJUSTMENT
To raise the head restraint, pull it up. To lower,
push and hold the lock knob and push the head
restraint down.
WARNING
Head restraints should be adjusted prop-
erly as they may provide significant pro-
tection against injury in an accident. Do
not remove them. Check the adjustment
after someone else uses the seat.

tem may be disarmed when the key is
