iv Preface

Head Restraints
The vehicle’s front seats have
adjustable head restraints in all
outboard seating positions.
{CAUTION
With head restraints that are not
installed and adjusted properly,
there is a greater chance that
occupants will suffer a neck/spinal
injury in a crash. Do not drive until
the head restraints for all
occupants are installed and
adjusted properly.Adjust the head restraint so that the
top of the restraint is at the same
height as the top of the occupant’s
head. This position reduces the
chance of a neck injury in a crash.Pull the head restraint up to raise it.
To lower the head restraint, press
the release button, located on
the head restraint post on the top of
the seatback, while you push the
head restraint down.
Push down on the head restraint
after the button is released to make
sure that it is locked in place.
1-2 Seats and Restraint System

If something has blocked the driver
seat while recalling a memory
position, the driver seat recall may
stop working. If this happens,
remove the obstruction and press
the appropriate control for the
area that is not recalling for
two seconds. Try pressing the
memory button again. If the memory
position is still not being recalled,
see your dealer/retailer for service.
Easy Exit Seat
S:With the vehicle in P (Park),
press the exit button. You will hear
a single beep. The driver seat
will move back into the exit position.
If the easy exit seat feature has
been turned on in the Driver
Information Center (DIC), automatic
seat movement will occur when
the key is removed from the ignition.
For programming information, see
DIC Vehicle Customization on
page 3-57for more information.
Reclining Seatbacks

{CAUTION
You can lose control of the
vehicle if you try to adjust a
manual driver’s seat while the
vehicle is moving. The sudden
movement could startle and
confuse you, or make you push a
pedal when you do not want to.
Adjust the driver’s seat only when
the vehicle is not moving.
{CAUTION
If either seatback is not locked, it
could move forward in a sudden
stop or crash. That could cause
injury to the person sitting there.
Always push and pull on the
seatbacks to be sure they are
locked.On vehicles with seats that have
manual reclining seatbacks, the lever
used to operate them is located on
the outboard side of the seat.

control. See “Reclining Seatbacks”
underPower Seats on page 1-3
for more information.

top of the control (B) rearward.

the top of the control forward.
{CAUTION
Sitting in a reclined position when
the vehicle is in motion can be
dangerous. Even if when buckled
up, the safety belts cannot do
their job when reclined like this.
The shoulder belt cannot do its
job because it will not be against
your body. Instead, it will be in
front of you. In a crash, you could
go into it, receiving neck or other
injuries.
The lap belt cannot do its job
either. In a crash, the belt could
go up over your abdomen. The
belt forces would be there, not at
your pelvic bones. This could
cause serious internal injuries.
For proper protection when the
vehicle is in motion, have the
seatback upright. Then sit well
back in the seat and wear the
safety belt properly.Do not have a seatback reclined if
the vehicle is moving.
