!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 ofthe centre of gravity of an occupant's head. Generally, the centre of gravity of most people'shead is similar with the height of the top of their eyes. Also, adjust the headrest as close to your headas possible. The use of a cushion that holds the body away from the seatback is not recommended.
o Do not operate the vehicle with the headrests removed as severe in-jury to an occupant may occur inthe event of an accident. Head- rests may provide protection against severe neck injuries whenproperly adjusted. Adjusting the height up and down (If Installed) To raise the headrest, pull it up to the desired position (1). To lower the head-rest, push and hold the release button (2) on the headrest support and lower the headrest to the desired position (3).

B110A02MC-DAT Folding Rear Seatbacks (If Installed) The rear seatbacks may be folded to facilitate carrying long items or to in-crease the luggage capacity of the vehicle.
WARNING:
The purpose of the fold-down rearseatbacks is to allow you to carry longer objects than could otherwisebe accommodated. Never allow passengers to sit on top of the folded down seatback or cargoarea 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 injury or death in case of an accident or sud- den stop. Objects carried on thefolded down seatback should not extend higher than the top of the front seats. This could allow cargo toslide forward and cause injury or damage during sudden stops.
Removal (If Installed) To remove the headrest, raise it as far as it can go then press the release button (1) while pulling upward (2). To reinstall the headrest, put the head-rest poles (3) into the holes while press- ing the release button (1). Then adjust it to the appropriate height.

SEAT BELTS
B150A01A-DAT The use of seat belts reduces the risk of accident injury by avoiding collision with the interior of the car and by pre- venting the occupants from being thrownout of the car. This makes them the most important safety feature available for you and your passengers. Adequateprotection is afforded only when the belt is worn correctly. You should always fasten and adjust your seatbelts beforethe car is put in motion and encourage your passengers to do the same.
WARNING:
Seat belts are designed to bear uponthe bony structure of the body, and should be worn low across the frontof the pelvis or the pelvis, chest and shoulders, as applicable; wearing the lap section of the belt across theabdominal area must be avoided. Seat belts should be adjusted as firmly as possible, consistent withcomfort, to provide the protection for which they have been designed. A slack belt will greatly reduce theprotection afforded to the wearer. Care should be taken to avoid con-tamination of the webbing with pol- ishes, oils and chemicals, and par- ticularly battery acid. Cleaning maysafely be carried out using mild soap and water. The belt should be re- placed if webbing becomes frayed,contaminated or damaged. It is es- sential to replace the entire assem- bly after it has been worn in a severeimpact even if damage to the assem- bly is not obvious. Belts should not be worn with straps twisted. Eachbelt assembly must only be used by one occupant; it is dangerous to put a belt around a child being carriedon the occupant's lap.
WARNING:
No modifications or additions should be made by the user which will either prevent the seat belt adjusting de-vices from operating to remove slack, or prevent the seat belt assembly from being adjusted to remove slack.
