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.
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 reduce the risk of injuring people in a
collision or sudden stop.
Always drive and ride with your seatback
upright and the lap belt snug and low across
the hips.
Reclining the seatback can cause an
occupant to slide under the seat’s safety
belt, resulting in severe personal injuries in the
event of a collision.

To reduce the risk of injury, make sure
children sit where they can be properly
restrained.
Never let a passenger hold a child on his or
her lap while the vehicle is moving. The
passenger cannot protect the child from injury in a
collision.
All occupants of the vehicle, including the
driver, should always properly wear their
safety belts, even when an air bag (SRS) is
provided.
It is extremely dangerous to ride in a cargo
area, inside or outside of a vehicle. In a
collision, people riding in these areas are more
likely to be seriously injured or killed. Do not allow
people to ride in any area of your vehicle that is
not equipped with seats and safety belts. Be sure
everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a
safety belt properly.
In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is
significantly more likely to die than a person
wearing a safety belt.
Each seating position in your vehicle has a
specific safety belt assembly which is made
up of one buckle and one tongue that are designed
to be used as a pair. 1) Use the shoulder belt on
the outside shoulder only. Never wear the shoulder
belt under the arm. 2) Never swing the safety belt
around your neck over the inside shoulder. 3) Never
use a single belt for more than one person.
