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 the 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 seatback to be sure it is
locked.

Power Reclining Seatbacks
If the seats have power reclining seatbacks, use the
vertical power seat control located on the outboard side
of each seat.
To recline the seatback, press the control toward
the rear of the vehicle.
To raise the seatback, press the control toward the
front of the vehicle.
{CAUTION:
Sitting in a reclined position when your vehicle is
in motion can be dangerous. Even if you buckle
up, your safety belts cannot do their job when you
are reclined like this.
The shoulder belt cannot do its job. 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 your safety belt properly.
1-8

Do not have a seatback reclined if the vehicle is
moving.
Head Restraints
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 restraint up to
raise it. To lower it, press
the button, located on
the top of the seatback,
and push the head
restraint down.
The front seat head restraints can also tilt forward and
rearward. The second row seat head rests do not tilt.
Pull up or push down to adjust the second and third row
seat head rests, if the vehicle has them.The third row seat head rests can be removed from
the seatback. To do this, press the button, located on
the top of the seatback, and pull them out from the
seatback. Store the head rest, front side facing up, in
the compartment behind the third row, by inserting
the head rest posts into the slots in the storage area.
