WARNING!
Adjusting a seat while drivingmay be dangerous. Moving a seat
while driving could result in loss
of control which could cause a
collision and serious injury or
death.
Seats should be adjusted before fastening the seat belts and while
the vehicle is parked. Serious in-
jury or death could result from a
poorly adjusted seat belt.
MANUAL RECLINING
SEATS
For models equipped with manual re-
clining seats, the recline lever is lo-
cated on the outboard side of the seat. To recline, lean forward slightly, lift
the lever, then push back to the de-
sired position and release the lever.
Lean forward and lift the lever to
return the seatback to its normal po-
sition. Using body pressure, lean for-
ward and rearward on the seat to be
sure the seatback has latched.
WARNING!
Do not ride with the seatback re-
clined so that the shoulder belt is no
longer resting against your chest. In
a collision you could slide under the
seat belt, which could result in seri-
ous injury or death.
HEAD RESTRAINTS
Head 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
Active Head Restraints are passive,
deployable components, and vehicles
with this equipment cannot be readily
identified by any markings, only
through visual inspection of the head
restraint. The head restraint will be
split in two halves, with the front half
being soft foam and trim, the back
half being decorative plastic.
When AHRs deploy during a rear im-
pact, the front half of the head re-
straint extends forward to minimize
the gap between the back of the occu-
pant’s head and the AHR. This system

is designed to help prevent or reduce
the extent of injuries to the driver and
front passenger in certain types of
rear impacts. Refer to “Occupant Re-
straints” in “Things To Know Before
Starting Your Vehicle” for further in-
formation.
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.
For comfort the Active Head Re-
straints can be tilted forward and
rearward. To tilt the head restraint
closer to the back of your head, pull
forward on the bottom of the headrestraint. Push rearward on the bot-
tom of the head restraint to move the
head restraint away from your head.
NOTE:
The head restraints should only
be removed by qualified techni-
cians, for service purposes only.
If either of the head restraints
require removal, see your autho-
rized dealer.
In the event of deployment of an Active Head Restraint, refer to
“Occupant Restraints/Resetting
Active Head Restraints (AHR)”
in “Things To Know Before
Starting Your Vehicle” for fur-
ther information.
WARNING!
Do not place items over the top ofthe 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 re-
sult in serious injury or death.
