area, inside or outside of a vehicle.
In a collision, people riding in
these areas are more likely to be
seriously injured or killed. Do not allow people to ride in anyarea of your vehicle that is not
equipped with seats and seat
belts. In a collision, people riding
in these areas are more likely to
be seriously injured or killed.

seat up or down, forward or rearward
or to recline the seatback. NOTE: The passenger's seat will
move up or down, forward or rear-
ward.

HEAD RESTRAINTSHead restraints are designed to reduce
the risk of injury by restricting head
movement in the event of a rear im-
pact. Head restraints should be ad-
justed so that the top of the head
restraint is located above the top of
your ear.WARNING!
The head restraints for all occu-
pants must be properly adjusted
prior to operating the vehicle or
occupying a seat. Head restraints
should never be adjusted while the
vehicle is in motion. Driving a ve-
hicle with the head restraints im-
properly adjusted or removed could
cause serious injury or death in the
event of a collision.
Active Head Restraints — Front
Seats
The front driver and passenger seats
are equipped with Active Head Re-
straints (AHR). In the event of a rear
impact the AHRs will automatically
extend forward minimizing the gap
between the back of the occupants
head and the AHR. The AHRs will automatically return
to their normal position following a
rear impact. If the AHRs do not return
to their normal position see your au-
thorized dealer immediately.
To raise the head restraint, pull up-
ward on the head restraint. To lower
the head restraint, press the push but-
ton, located at the base of the head
restraint, and push downward on the
head restraint.
NOTE:
The head restraints should
only be removed by qualified tech-
nicians, for service purposes only.
If either of the head restraints re-
quire removal, see your authorized
dealer.
WARNING!
Do not place items over the top of
the Active Head Restraint, such as
coats, seat covers or portable DVD
players. These items may interfere
with the operation of the Active
Head Restraint in the event of a
collision and could result in serious
injury or death.
Rear Head Restraints
The center head restraint has two po-
sitions, up or down. When the center
seat is being occupied the head re-
straint should be in the raised posi-
tion. When there are no occupants in
the center seat the head restraint can
be lowered for maximum visibility for
the driver.

ward on the head restraint. To lower
the head restraint, press the push but-
ton, located at the base of the head
restraint, and push downward on the
head restraint.
NOTE:
The outboard head re-
straints are not adjustable. Refer to
“Occupant Restraints” in “Things
To Know Before Starting Your
Vehicle” for tether routing.
FOLDING REAR SEAT
The rear seatbacks can be folded for-
ward to provide an additional storage
area. To fold the rear seatback, pull on
the loops located on the upper seat-
back. NOTE:
These loops can be tucked
away when not in use.
After releasing the seatback, it can be
folded forward.
When the seatback is folded to the
upright position, make sure it is
latched by strongly pulling on the top
of the seatback above the seat strap.
WARNING!
Be certain that the seatback is se-
curely locked into position. If the
seatback is not securely locked
into position, the seat will not pro-
vide the proper stability for child
seats and/or passengers. An im-
properly latched seat could cause
serious injury. The cargo area in the rear of the vehicle (with the rear seatbacks
in the locked-up or folded down
position) should not be used as a
play area by children when the
vehicle is in motion. They could
be seriously injured in a collision.
Children should be seated and
using the proper restraint system.

markets, where provided], power tilt
and telescopic steering column [for
versions/markets, where provided],
and radio station presets).
3. Press and release the SET (S) but-
ton on the memory switch.
4. Within five seconds, press and re-
lease the MEMORY button 1 or 2. The
