VEHICLE CONTROLS
VEHICLE CONTROLS
Sitting improperly or out of position can result in serious injury or death in a
crash.
Always sit upright, well back in the seat, with your feet on the floor.
WARNING
Adjusting the Head Restraints
Your vehicle is equipped with head restraints in all seating positions. Head
restraints are most effective for protection against whiplash and other rear-
impact crash injuries.
The center of the back of the occupant’s head
should rest against the center of the restraint.
The tops of the occupant’s ears should be level
with the center height of the restraint.
To raise the head restraint: Pull it upward.
To lower the head restraint: Push it down
while pressing the release button.
To remove the head restraint: Pull the
restraint up as far as it will go. Then push the
release button, and pull the restraint up and
out.
To reinstall a head restraint: Insert the legs
back in place, then adjust the head restraint to
an appropriate height while pressing the release
button. Pull up on the restraint to make sure it
is locked in position.
Position head in the
center of the head
restraint.

For a head restraint system to work properly:
• Do not hang any items on the head restraints or from the restraint legs.
• Do not place any object between an occupant and the seat-back.
• Install each restraint in its proper location.
Improperly positioning head restraints reduces their effectiveness and increases the
likelihood of serious injury in a crash.
Make sure head restraints are in place and positioned properly before driving.
Failure to reinstall, or correctly reinstall, the head restraints can result in severe
injury during a crash.
Always replace the head restraints before driving.

Separately fold down the left and right halves of the rear seat to make room for
cargo.
1. Store the center seat belt by inserting the latch
plate into the slot on the side of the anchor
buckle.

back.

the release lever.
To return the seat to its original position, pull up
