Head Restraints
To raise the height of the head restraint, pull the head
restraint up. To lower the height of the head restraint,
push in the locking clip at the base of the head restraint
and push the head restraint down. The locking clip
needs to be pushed outboard on the driver’s side head
restraint and inboard on the passenger’s side. The
upper edge of the head restraint should be about at eye
level, never at neck level. This position reduces the
chance of a neck injury in a crash.
Seatback Latches
The front seatbacks fold
forward to let people get
into the back seat.
To fold a front seatback forward, lift the entry lever
located near the top of the outboard shoulders of each
front seat. Then tilt the seatback forward. To move
the seat forward, push the button located below
the seatback latch. Then move the seat forward.
For safety of front seat passengers, a weight sensor
has been built into the front seats. The seat will
not move forward if there is more than 27 lbs (12 kg) on
the seat sensor.

{CAUTION:
Things you put inside your vehicle can strike
and injure people in a sudden stop or turn, or
in a crash.
Put things in the rear area of your vehicle.
Try to spread the weight evenly. If you
have fold-down rear seats, you will nd
four anchors on the back wall of your
trunk. You can use these anchors to tie
down lighter loads. They are not strong
enough for heavy things, however, so put
them as far forward as you can in the
trunk or rear area.
Never stack heavier things, like suitcases,
inside the vehicle so that some of them
are above the tops of the seats.
Do not leave an unsecured child restraint
in your vehicle.
When you carry something inside the
vehicle, secure it whenever you can.
Do not leave a seat folded down unless
you need to.
Towing a Trailer
Your vehicle is neither designed nor intended to tow a
trailer.
