Headrest
The rear seat(s) is equipped with
headrests in all the seating positions
for the occupant's safety and com-
for t.
The headrest not only provides com-
fort for passengers, but also helps
protect the head and neck in the
event of a collision.
For maximum effectiveness in case
of an accident, the headrest should
be adjusted so the middle of the
headrest is at the same height of the
center of gravity of an occupant's
head. Generally, the center of gravity
of most people's head is similar with
the height as the top of their eyes. Also adjust the headrest as close to
your head as possible. For this rea-
son, the use of a cushion that holds
the body away from the seatback is
not recommended.
OPA039053
WARNING - Headrest
removal
Do not operate the vehicle with
the headrests removed.
Headrests can provide critical
neck and head support in a
crash.
WARNING - Rear seatback
When returning the rear seat-
back from a folded to an upright
position, hold the seatback and
return it slowly. Ensure that the
seatback is completely locked
into its upright position by
pushing on the top of the seat-
back. In an accident or sudden
stop, the unlocked seatback
could allow cargo to move for-
ward with great force and enter
the passenger compartment.
WARNING - Cargo
Do not place heavy objects in
the rear seats, since they can-
not be properly secured and
may hit vehicle occupants in a
frontal collision.

Safety features of your vehicle
Routing the seat belt webbing
through the rear seat belt guides will
help keep the belts from being
trapped behind or under the seats
when they are folded down.
After inserting the seat belt, tighten
the belt webbing by pulling it up.Pre-tensioner seat belt
Your vehicle is equipped with driver's
and front passenger's pre-tensioner
seat belts. The purpose of the pre-
tensioner is to make sure that the
seat belts fit tightly against the occu-
pant's body in certain frontal colli-
sions. The pre-tensioner seat belts
may be activated in crashes where
the collision is severe enough.When the vehicle stops suddenly, or
if the occupant tries to lean forward
too quickly, the seat belt retractor will
lock into position. In certain frontal
collisions, the pre-tensioner will acti-
vate and pull the seat belt into tighter
contact against the occupant's body.
If the system senses excessive seat
belt tension on the driver or passen-
ger's seat belt when the pre-tension-
er activates, the load limiter inside
the seat belt retractor will release
some of the pressure on the affected
seat belt.

CAUTION - Seat belt
guide
Remove the seat belt from the
guides before using. If you pullthe seat belt when it is stored inthe guides, it may damage theguides and/or belt webbing.
