Headrest
The driver's and front passenger's seats
are equipped with a headrest for the
occupant's safety and comfort.
The headrest not only provides comfort
for the driver and front passenger, but
also helps to protect the head and neck
in the event of a collision.Adjusting the height up and down
To raise the headrest, pull it up to the
desired position (1). To lower the head-
rest, push and hold the release button (2)
on the headrest support and lower the
headrest to the desired position (3).
WARNING
• 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 peo-
ple'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 cushion that
holds the body away from the
seatback is not recommended.
• Do not operate the vehicle with
the headrests removed as severe
injury to the occupants may
occur in the event of an accident.
Headrests may provide protec-
tion against neck injuries when
properly adjusted.
• Do not adjust the headrest posi-
tion of the driver's seat while the
vehicle is in motion.

WARNING - Uprighting
seat
When you return the seatback to its
upright position, hold the seatback
and return it slowly. If the seatback
is returned without holding it, the
back of the seat could spring for-
ward resulting in injury caused by
being struck by the seatback.
CAUTION- Rear seat belts
When returning the rear (2nd and/or
3rd row) seatbacks to the upright
position, remember to return the
rear shoulder belts to their proper
position. Routing the seat belt web-
bing through the rear seat belt
guides will help keep the belts from
being trapped behind or under the
seats.
CAUTION - Damaging rear
seat belt buckles
When you fold the rear (2nd and/or
3rd row) seatback, insert the buckle
in the pocket between the rear seat-
back and cushion. Doing so can
prevent the buckle from being dam-
aged by the rear seatback.

WARNING
The headrest on the seat (especial-
ly the last row seat) should be
adjusted so the middle of the head-
rest is at the same height as the top
of the occupant's eyes.
If the tailgate is pushed down to
close when a passenger's head is
not against a properly adjusted
headrest or a tall person is seated,
the tailgate may hit the occupant's
head, which could cause injury.
WARNING
When you return the rear seat
cushion to its locking position after
being folded:
Be careful not to damage the seat
belt webbing or buckle. Do not
allow the seat belt webbing or
buckle to get caught or pinched in
the rear seat. Ensure that the seat
is completely locked into its proper
position by pushing the seat cush-
ion and seatback.
Otherwise, in an accident or sud-
den stop, the seat could fold, which
could result in serious injury or
death.
WARNING- Cargo
Cargo should always be secured to
prevent it from being thrown about
the vehicle in a collision and caus-
ing injury to the vehicle occupants.
Do not place objects in the rear
seats, since they cannot be proper-
ly secured and may hit the front
seat occupants in a collision.
WARNING - Cargo loading
Make sure the engine is off, the
automatic transmission is in P
(Park) or the manual transmission
is in R (Reverse) or 1st, and the
parking brake is securely applied
whenever loading or unloading
cargo. Failure to take these steps
may allow the vehicle to move if the
shift lever is inadvertently moved to
another position.

Securing a child restraint seat with
“Tether Anchor” system
(if equipped)
Child restraint hook holders are located
behind the rear seats.1. Route the child restraint seat strap
over the seatback.
For vehicles with adjustable headrest,
route the tether strap under the head-
rest and between the headrest posts,
otherwise route the tether strap over
the top of the seatback.
2. Connect the tether strap hook to the
appropriate child restraint hook holder
and tighten to secure the seat.
2GHA3300LWARNING- Tether strap
Never mount more than one child
restraint to a single tether or to a
single lower anchorage point. The
increased load caused by multiple
seats may cause the tethers or
anchorage points to break, causing
serious injury or death.
WARNING
A child can be seriously injured or
killed in a collision if the child
restraint is not properly anchored
to the car and the child is not prop-
erly restrained in the child restraint.
Always follow the child seat manu-
facturer’s instructions for installa-
tion and use.
