To recline, lean forward slightly, lift the lever, then push

back to the desired position and release the lever. Lean

forward and lift the lever to return the seatback to its

normal position. Using body pressure, lean forward and

rearward on the seat to be sure the seatback has latched.

WARNING!

Do not ride with the seatback reclined so that the
shoulder belt is no longer resting against your chest.
In a collision you could slide under the seat belt,
which could result in serious injury or death.

Head Restraints

Head restraints are designed to reduce the risk of injury

by restricting head movement in the event of a rear

impact. Head restraints should be adjusted so that the top

of the head restraint is located above the top of your ear.

WARNING!

The head restraints for all occupants must be prop-
erly installed and adjusted prior to operating the
vehicle or occupying a seat. Head restraints should
never be adjusted while the vehicle is in motion.
Driving a vehicle with the head restraints improperly
adjusted or removed could cause serious injury or
death in the event of a collision.

Active Head Restraints — Front Seats
Active Head Restraints are passive, deployable compo-

nents, and vehicles with this equipment cannot be readily

identified by any markings, only through visual inspec-

tion of the head restraint. The Active Head Restraints

(AHR) will be split in two halves, with the front half

being soft foam and trim, the back half being decorative

plastic.
