ward:
1. Pull the seat slide adjustment
lever up and hold it.
2. Slide the seat to the position you
desire.
3. Release the lever and make sure

hands or other objects are not
caught in the seat mechanisms
while the seat is moving.
(Continued)
In order to avoid unnecessary
and perhaps severe air bag
injuries, always sit as far back
as possible from the steering
wheel while maintaining com-
fortable control of the vehicle.

Seat cushion height
Pull the front portion of the control
knob up to raise or push down to
lower the front part of the seat cush-
ion. Pull the rear portion of the con-
trol knob up to raise or push down to
lower the rear part of the seat cush-
ion. Release the knob once the seat
reaches the desired position.
Headrest
The driver's and front passenger's
seats are equipped with a headrest
for the occupant's safety and com-
for t.
The headrest not only provides com-
fort for the driver and front passen-
ger, but also helps protect the head
and neck in the event of a collision.
OBK032062OBK039051N
WARNING
For maximum effectiveness in
case of an accident, the head-
rest 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 of
the top of their eyes. Also,
adjust the headrest as close
to your head as possible. For
this reason, the use of a cush-
ion that holds the body away
from the seatback is not rec-
ommended.
Do not operate the vehicle
with the headrests removed.
Severe injury to the occu-
pants may occur in the event
of an accident. Headrests may
provide protection against
neck injuries when properly
adjusted.
Do not adjust the headrest
position of the driver’s seat
while the vehicle is in motion.

recline lever or switch (3).
3. Adjust the headrest to the appro-
priate height.Active headrest (if equipped)
The active headrest is designed to
move forward and upward during a
rear impact. This helps prevent the
driver's and front passenger’s heads
from moving backward and thus
helps minimize neck injuries.
OBK033069OBK033070HNF2041-1

NEVER allow anyone to ride in a
seat with the headrest removed.

Always make sure the headrest
locks into position after rein-

Rear seat
Folding the rear seat
The rear seatbacks may be folded to
facilitate carrying long items or to
increase the luggage capacity of the
vehicle.
To fold down the rear seatback:
1. Set the front seatback to the
upright position and if necessary,
slide the front seat forward.
2. Pull out the seatback locking knob
(1) in the trunk or the strap (2) at
the center of the rearseat.
WARNING
The purpose of the fold-down
rear seatbacks is to allow you to
carry longer objects than could
otherwise be accommodated.
Never allow passengers to sit
on top of the folded down seat-
back 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 the
folded down seatback should
not extend higher than the top
of the front seats. This could
allow cargo to slide forward and
cause injury or damage during
sudden stops.OBK039014

CAUTION
To discourage theft, only use
the seatback locking strap(2) at
the center of the rear seat in an
emergency situation(The bat-
tery is discharged). Hide the
strap so it is not always visible.
