Front and second seats
Third seats
For your safety and comfort, adjust the
head restraint before driving.
To raise: Pull it up.
To lower: Push it down while pressing the
lock release button.
Third seats—When an occupant sits on
the seat, always pull up the head restraint
to the lock position.
The head restraint is most effective when
it is close to your head. Therefore, using
a cushion on the seatback is not recom-
mended.
CAUTION
Adjust the center of the head re-
straint so that it is closest to the
top of your ears.
After adjusting the head restraint,
make sure it is locked in position.
Do not drive with the head re-
straints removed.
To adjust the armrest, lower the armrest
to the lowest position and raise it to the
desired angle. Raising the armrest to the
highest position unlocks the armrest to let
you return it to the lowest position.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the armrest,
avoid putting heavy loads on it.
