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.

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.

!For vehicles with adjustable headrests,
route the tether strap under the head-
rest and between the headrest posts,
otherwise route the tether strap over the
top of the seatback.
3. Connect the tether strap hook to the
child restraint hook holder and tighten
to secure the seat.
WARNING:
o A child can be seriously injured or
killed in a collision if the child restraint
is not properly anchored. Always
follow the child seat manufacturer’s
instructions for installation and use.
o Never mount more than one child re-
straint to a single tether or to a single
lower anchorage point. The increased
load caused by multiple seats may
cause the tethers or anchorage points
to break, causing serious injury or
death.
B230D06E-AATSecuring the Child Restraint Seat
with the "ISOFIX" systemSome child seat manufacturers make
safety seats that are labeled as ISOFIX or
ISOFIX-compatible child seats. These
seats include two rigid or webbing mounted
attachments that connect to two ISOFIX
anchors at specific seating positions in
your vehicle. This type of child seat
eliminates the need to use seat belts to
attach the child seat.
ISOFIX anchors have been provided in
your vehicle. The ISOFIX anchors are
located in the left and right outboard rear
seating positions. Their locations are
shown in the illustration. There is no ISOFIX
anchor provided for the center rear seating
position.

WARNING:
o A child can be seriously injured or
killed in a collision if the child restraint
is not properly anchored. Always
follow the child seat manufacturer’s
instructions for installation and use.
o Never install a child restraint using
the ISOFIX anchors at the center
position of the rear seat. In a crash,
the ISOFIX anchors may break if a car
seat is improperly placed in the center
position resulting in serious or fatal
injuries. Only place a ISOFIX or ISOFIX-
compatible child seat in the left or
right out-board rear seating positions
(as shown) to the appropriate ISOFIX
anchors provided.
o Never mount more than one child
restraint to a single tether or to a
single lower anchorage point. The
increased load caused by multiple
seats may cause the tethers or
anchorage points to break, causing
serious injury or death.
