WARNING:
o Passengers can be injured if their
head, hands or other body parts are
trapped by a closing window. Always
check for obstructions before raising
any window.
o NEVER leave the ignition key in the
vehicle.
o NEVER leave any child unattended in
the vehicle. Even very young children
may inadvertently cause the vehicle
to move, entangle themselves in the
windows, or otherwise injure
themselves or others.
o Do not attempt to operate the main
switch on the driver's door and a
switch on another door in opposing
directions at the same time. If this is
done, the window will stop and cannot
be opened or closed.
WARNING:
o The automatic reverse feature for the
driver’s window is only active when
the “auto up” feature is used by fully
pulling up the switch. The automatic
reverse feature will not operate if the
window is raised using the halfway
position on the power window switch.
o Always check for obstructions before
raising any window to avoid injuries or
vehicle damage. If an object less than
0.16 in. (4 mm) in diameter is caught
between the window glass and the
upper window channel, the automatic
reverse window may not detect the
resistance and will not stop and
reverse direction.B060C02NF-AATAutomatic Reverse Window
(Driver's side)If the upward movement of the window is
blocked by an object or part of the body, the
window will detect the resistance and will
stop upward movement. The window will
then lower approximately 11.8 in.(30cm)
to allow the object to be cleared.
NOTE:The power windows can be operated for
30 seconds after the ignition key is
turned to the "ACC" or "LOCK"
positions, or removed from the ignition
switch.
If the front doors are opened during this
30 second period, the power windows
can no longer be operated without the
ignition key turned to the "ON" position.

B080B03A-AATAdjusting Seat Forward and
RearwardTo move the seat toward the front or rear,
pull the lock release lever upward. This will
release the seat on its track so you can
move it forward or rearward to the desired
position. When you find the position you
want, release the lever and slide the seat
forward or rearward on its track until it locks
into the desired position and cannot be
moved further.
WARNING:
After adjusting the seat, always check
that it is securely locked into place by
attempting to move the seat forward or
rearward without using the lock release
lever. Sudden or unexpected movement
of the driver's seat could cause you to
lose control of the vehicle resulting in an
accident.

!
WARNING:
o Never adjust the driver’s seat while
the vehicle is moving. Any sudden or
unexpected movement of the seat
could cause you to lose control of the
vehicle resulting in an accident. Only
adjust the driver’s seat when the
vehicle is stationary.
o Do not sit or lean unnecessarily close
to the airbag. Position the seat so that
you can sit as far back as possible
from the airbag and still comfortably
reach all controls.

B080C02A-AATAdjusting Seatback AngleTo recline the seatback, lean forward to
take your weight off it, then pull up on the
recliner control lever at the outside edge of
the seat. Now lean back until the desired
seatback angle is achieved. To lock the
seatback into position, release the recliner
control lever.
ONF038003
!
WARNING:
Riding with a reclined seatback
increases your chance of serious or
fatal injuries in the event of a collision or
sudden stop. The protection of your
restraint system (seat belts and airbags)
is greatly reduced by reclining your seat.
Seat belts must be snug against your
hips and chest to work properly. The
more the seatback is reclined, the greater
the chance that an occupant's hips will
slide under the lap belt or the occupant's
neck will strike the shoulder belt. Drivers
and passengers should always sit well
back in their seats, properly belted, and
with the seatbacks upright.
B080D02JM-AATAdjustable HeadrestsHeadrests are designed to help reduce
the risk of neck injuries.
To raise the headrest, pull it up. To lower
the headrest, push it down while pressing
the lock knob. To remove the headrest,
raise it as far as it can go then press the lock
knob while pulling upward. This should
only be done when the seat is not occupied.

B083D01NF-AATActive HeadrestsThe 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.
B081D01NF-AATAdjusting Headrest Forward and
RearwardThe headrest may be adjusted forward to
three different positions by pulling the
headrest forward. To adjust the headrest
rearward, pull it fully forward to the farthest
position and release it. Adjust the headrest
so that it properly supports the head and
neck.
ONF038005HNF2041-1
!
WARNING:
o For maximum effectiveness in case
of an accident the headrest should be
adjusted so the middle of the headrest
is at the same height as the top of the
occupant's eyes. For this reason, the
use of a cushion that holds the body
away from the seatback is not recom-
mended.
o Do not operate the vehicle with the
headrests removed as injury to the
occupants may occur in the event of
an accident. Headrests may provide
protection against neck injuries when
properly adjusted.
o Do not adjust the headrest height while
the vehicle is in motion.
