Headrest
The driver's and front passenger's seats
are equipped with a headrest for the
occupant's safety and comfort.
The headrest not only provides comfort
for the driver and front passenger, but
also helps to protect the head and neck
in the event of a collision.Active headrest (if equipped)
The active headrest is designed to move
forward and upward during a rear impact.
This helps to prevent the driver's and
front passenger’s head from moving
backward and thus helps prevent neck
injuries.

WARNING
For maximum effectiveness in case
of an accident, the headrest should
be adjusted so the middle of theheadrest is at the same height of
the center of gravity of an occu-
pant's head. Generally, the center of
gravity of most people's head issimilar with the height of the top of
their eyes. Also, adjust the headrest
as close to your head as possible.
For this reason, the use of a cush-
ion that holds the body away from
the seatback is not recommended.
Do not operate the vehicle with the headrests removed as severe
injury to the occupants may
occur in the event of an accident.
Headrests may provide protec-
tion against neck injuries when
properly adjusted.
Do not adjust the headrest position
of the driver's seat while the vehicleis in motion.

Armrest (if equipped)
To use the armrest, pull it forward from
the seatback.
Folding the rear seat

facilitate carrying long items or toincrease the luggage capacity of the
vehicle.

WARNING
The purpose of the fold-down rear
seatbacks is to allow you to carry
longer objects than could other-wise be accommodated.
Never allow passengers to sit on
top of the folded down seatback
while the car is moving as this is
not a proper seating position and
no seat belts are available for use.
This could result in serious injuryor death in case of an accident or a
sudden stop. Objects carried on the
folded down seatback should not
extend higher than the top of the
front seats. This could allow cargo
to slide forward and cause injury or
damage during sudden stops.
