Active head restraint
Even small forces applied to the seatback may cause the head restraint to
move. Pushing up a locked head restraint forcibly may show the head
restraint inner structure. These do not indicate problems.
CAUTION
Seat adjustment
Be careful that the seat does not hit passengers or luggage.
Do not recline the seat more than necessary when the vehicle is in motion
to reduce the risk of sliding under the lap belt.
If the seat is too reclined, during an accident the lap belt may slide past the
hips and apply restraint forces directly to the abdomen or your neck may
contact the shoulder belt, increasing the risk of death or serious injury.
After adjusting the seat, make sure that the seat is locked in position.

Seat adjustment
Be careful not to get your hands pinched between the luggage cover and

death or serious injury in the event of an accident. Adjustments should not
be made while driving as the seat may unexpectedly move and cause the
driver to lose control of the vehicle.
