described in this section.
HEAD RESTRAINTS (2nd row –
outboard positions only)
WARNING
Head restraints supplement the other ve-
hicle safety systems. They may provide
additional protection against injury in cer-
tain rear end collisions. Adjust the head
restraints properly, as specified in this
section. Check the adjustment after
someone else uses the seat. Do not attach
anything to the head restraint stalks. Do
not use the seat if the head restraint has
been removed. If the head restraint was
removed, reinstall and properly adjust the
head restraint before an occupant uses
the seating position. Failure to follow
these instructions can reduce the effec-
tiveness of the head restraints. This may
increase the risk of serious injury or death
in a collision.The illustration shows the seating positions
equipped with head restraints. The second row
head restraints are removable but not adjustable.

anything to the adjustable headrest stalks
. Do not use the seat if the adjustable
headrests have been removed. If the
headrest was removed, reinstall and prop-
erly adjust the headrest before an occu-
pant uses the seating position. Failure to
follow these instructions can reduce the
effectiveness of the adjustable headrests.
This may increase the risk of serious injury
or death in a collision.The illustration shows the seating positions

Refer to all Warnings and Cautions in the “Child
Safety” and “Child Restraint” sections before in-
stalling a child restraint.
Follow these steps to install a forward-facing
child restraint using the vehicle seat belt in the
rear seats or in the front passenger seat:1. If you must install a child restraint in
the front seat, it should be placed in a
forward-facing direction only. Move
the seat to the rearmost position. Child
restraints for infants must be used in the rear-facing direction and, there-
fore, must not be used in the front seat.
2. Position the child restraint on the seat. Al- ways follow the child restraint manufactur-
er’s instructions.
The back of the child restraint should be
secured against the vehicle seatback.
If necessary, adjust or remove the head re-
straint or headrest to obtain the correct child
restraint fit. If the head restraint or headrest
is removed, store it in a secure place. Be
sure to reinstall the head restraint or
headrest when the child restraint is
removed. See “Head restraints” or “Adjust-
able headrest” in this section for head re-
straint or headrest adjustment, removal and
installation information.
If the seating position does not have an
adjustable head restraint or headrest and it
is interfering with the proper child restraint
fit, try another seating position or a different
child restraint. 3. Route the seat belt tongue through the child
restraint and insert it into the buckle until you
hear and feel the latch engage. Be sure to
follow the child restraint manufacturer’s in-
structions for belt routing.
