Front headrest adjustment
Adjusting the height up and down
The headrest not only provides com-
fort for the driver and passengers,
but also helps to protect the head
and neck in the event of a collision.
To raise the headrest, pull it up to the
desired position (
➀
). To lower the
headrest, push and hold the release
button (
➁
) on the headrest support
and lower the headrest to the desired
position (
➂
). 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.
Removal
To remove the headrest, raise it as far
as it can go then press the release
lever (
➀
) while pulling upward (
➁
).
Full flat seat (if equipped)
When the vehicle is parked, you can
place the front seat in a reclined
position, nearly flat.
1. Remove the headrest.
2. Move the front seat to the farthest
forward position.
3. Recline the seatback as far as it
can go to allow the rear seat pas-
senger to support their legs in the
reclined position.
