SEATING
Adjustable head restraints (if equipped)
Your vehicle's seats may be equipped with head restraints which are
vertically adjustable. The purpose of these head restraints is to help limit
head motion in the event of a rear collision. To properly adjust your head
restraints, lift the head restraint so that it is located directly behind your
head or as close to that position as possible. Refer to the following to
raise and lower the head restraints.
The head restraints can be moved
up and down.
Using the manual lumbar support
Turn the lumbar support control
toward the front of vehicle to
increase firmness.
Turn the lumbar support control
toward the rear of vehicle to
increase softness.
Adjusting the front manual seat
Never adjust the driver's seat or seatback when the vehicle is
moving.
Do not pile cargo higher than the seatbacks to avoid injuring
people in a collision or sudden stop.
